I would say, this is more a user-dependent problem rather a real bug. Robert, I disagree. If a program needs a directory to work correctly, it should either tell you that it's missing the directory and that it is YOUR job to create it, or it should create it itself. I'd suggest it creates it itself. I don't see why the program couldn't do it. So it's a real bug. This was fixed in FC4, so marking as fixed in current release. |
