"Output Folder" dialog not visible when run as non-admin

Post by enigma3319 »

Reporting bug for Windows 7 (May be a general bug when not running the app as Administrator)

The "Output Folder" dialog and the "MakeMKV" button in the right-hand panel are not there when MakeMKV is not run in Adminstrator Mode.

My install on another XP box didn't require "Run as Administrator" to get the those two components available in the UI.

MakeMKV workflow is kinda annoying without the Output Folder dialog (you have to keep a separate Windows Explorer window open to handle the mkdir and move file stuff).

The disappearing boxes would be hard to troubleshoot for novice. Can you at least grey out those two UI components and provide a tooltip saying something like "These features only available when run as a user with Windows Administrator Privileges"

Love the app. Keep up the nice work.

Try setting the Default Destination to "SemiAuto". Hopefully, it will make a difference.
