Having an issue with the folder path within Settings>Folders>Password file
If I enter d:\passwords.txt I receive the following in the GUI:
Failed to read the password file \\?\d:\passwords.txt
Its almost as if it is looking for a UNC path but trying that does not work.
I see the Default Base Folder: C:\Users\Administrator at the top of the folders section. Putting the passwords.txt file in there, and only putting the file name in the "Password file" section I receive the following:
Failed to read the password file \\?\C:\Users\Administrator\passwords.txt
Logs sample:
2021-02-28 22:27:03,374::INFO::[notifier:122] Sending notification: Warning - Failed to read the password file \\?\C:\Users\<USERNAME>\passwords.txt (type=warning, job_cat=None)
2021-02-28 22:27:03,374::WARNING::[misc:810] Failed to read the password file \\?\C:\Users\<USERNAME>\passwords.txt
Not sure what I am missing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks-

Yes, the output was incorrect, I had extensions hidden and it was passwords.txt.txt which is obviously wrong.
It works now, thanks for the help with my rudimentary computer skills.

Ah, yes, Hidden Extensions. That is an "interesting" feature of Windows.
Good that you reported back it works now.
