Watched folder issue

Bugs
1

i cant create a watched folder - Windows 11-
steps:

  • add +
  • Watched folder
  • selecting the folder from the opened window
  • nothing added to the app

Note: i can add normal folders to the app normally, but it’s not updating the new fonts in it

Hello Mustafa, thank you for your post and welcome to the forum :folded_hands:
Would it be possible to check if you have provided the required permissions for FontBase to access the folder you’re trying to add?
Also, you are not trying to add the system fonts folder, is that correct?

Thank you again,

Hello Mustafa, thank you for the quick reply :folded_hands:

Definitely read permissions, possibly write (at least to fully use other app functions such as font activation etc.).

Is the folder you’re trying to add on a local or a network drive? Also, does this happen to any font folder, e.g. in different locations, or just a specific one?

Thank you,

Hey Yuriy

Local folder, and its happen in a different location almost any location I tried a local partition and plug hdd disk in different location in both.

Thx

Hello Mustafa, thank you for responding so quickly :folded_hands:
Have you perhaps already tried uninstalling and reinstalling FontBase?
Also, one thing I should’ve asked initially - has this been occurring ever since the initial installation or did it start later at some point?

Thank you,
