Description
Fixes OBS failing to launch when
Configurationin global.ini is set to a folder that exists but does not have an obs-studio subfolder inside it.Motivation and Context
global.ini allows the configuration of four different paths:
All of these locations are used as a base path and anything using them places files into
<base>/obs-studio/SceneCollections,Profiles, andPluginManagerSettingsall ensure that theobs-studiosubfolder exists.Configurationdoes not.As a result OBS will fail to create it's
user.inifile during startup and immediately close.How Has This Been Tested?
Set paths of all Locations to a folder that does not exist
Set paths of all Locations to a folder that does exist but with no obs-studio subfolder
Created obs-studio folder manually in the specified location
Set
Configurationto it's default AppData location but changed the others to a custom folderTypes of changes
