Bug: Does not recognise or have the ability to create new directories #336

Describe the bug:
The programming doesn't allow JKSV to create new directories and or view the previously created ones from and old build. However I previously using a stable build from 2023. (could be an issue in itself)

Steps needed to reproduce:
I'm not completely sure on how to reproduce. But I updated to atmosphere 1.10.1, firmware 21.1.0. Which messed with every hb app. I tried updating JKSV to the most current 12/02/25. Upon booting in applet or not from applet into JKSV it attempts to create a new directory. This produces an error. After this initial error, JKSV will not create any directory even for new saves and fails any attempt to create a new save.

I deleted the main JKSV folder in an attempt to start from a blank slate, this still produces an error to create a new directory.

Something isn't playing friendly with the new atmosphere or firmware with the new programming of JKSV.

I checked the 12/02/25 Build until the 11/05/24 build. It produces this same error until I got to this version.

Expected behavior:
I expect to boot in with JKSV recognizing old save data, allowing the create new back ups along with the ability to restore.

Log file output:

Check sdmc:/config/JKSV/JKSV.log for any meaningful output that may be useful in diagnosing the bug in question. The last lines should be the most valuable.

SOLUTION - Upon searching for the log file above ^^^^^^ I discovered the paths json file.

I deleted the entire config JKSV folder and also deleted the main JKSV folder in the main directory of the SD Card.

(After copying a backup)

Upon boot JKSV created new configs and new directories.

JKSV now creates new back ups correctly and restores correctly.

I'm not a programmer, but I hope this helps with anyone trouble shooting this issue.

and thank god for your line in the bug report to check the log for common sense to kick in.

Thanks for everyones time with this project. It has been a pleasure to work with.
