Did some testing, I can't figure out how to get it to work either. I would say that using "%" in a folder name is a horrible idea, but it is a perfectly valid folder name.

Well...
For Backup solutions, it is DEFINITELY NOT a "bad idea" at all!

For example, you have Backups in the following ...

OK, so now it is clear what you want.
In the Windows command line, you can escape the special meaning of the % character by escaping it by itself, so %% . Not sure if that also works like that in FFS, but it does not hurt to try.
So, try typing e.g.
D:\!Backup\FFS\ %% appdata %% \blabla
directly ...

Create the location and then use "browse" to select it in FFS xCSxXenon, 26 Mar 2023, 16:28

already tried and it does not work, the %appdata% will also be expanded when browse the folder

It is very clear ^^

I want to create a folder structure that looks EXACTLY like this: or this: or more detailed, i want to create a directory/folder named or as a SubFolder of this path

Hi there,

i try to add this as Destionation folder: but FFS always expand the Environment Variable

any chance to prevent this?
