Few times already, deleted one media storage in smoke setup and tried to ad another one, and it doesn’t want to add. every time i reload it’s empty.  Only work around is to to uninstall Smoke and install again and then to add new volume.

Hi.

Do you click “Apply” after you add the new media storage?
If you simply add and then immediately click “Edit” to remove the old one, the one you’ve added will not be saved in the cfg file.

You have to click Apply before clicking Edit.

Check out this video for an overview of how to change the Smoke storage folder:

Robert.

Yes i do klick apply, and it create media folder on the drive, but when i klick reload or restart Smoke setup, it all empty.
It happens all the time when i delete all the volumes in media storage list, and trying to add a fresh one.

That sounds like a bug in the Setup app.

Can you please open the Terminal app, type the following commands and post the output here?
cat /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/stone+wire.cfg | grep -i path
ls /Volumes

Thanks!
Robert.
