Minion does not recognise document folder

Hi, I'm having a problem getting minion to recognise my documents folder. It just will not find any of the installed addons. I have an SSD and moved all documents to "My Documents" on another drive. Minion insists on creating a document folder on my C drive. How do I get minion to recognise D:\My Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns folder ?
Thanks in advance

In Minion, click on Options. There is a edit box for the add-on path.

Took several attempts to get it to recognise the right destination folder but appears to be working now
Thanks

I was having the same problem and, in case this helps someone else, here's what I found to make this work.

I have moved my documents folder on another hard drive (to optimize the main drive SSD space). I linked the documents folder in this drive (F: ) to C:/users/<username>/My Documents

If I enter the C: path (this works in Windows Explorer and all other programs I have tested with so far), Minion does NOT detect the add-ons in my directory.

When I entered the path on the F: drive (i.e. to the same location), it finally worked!

We are working on a way for Minion to read the windows document folder variable. We have to work around a bug in java not allowing us to read the path in the registry but we are working on it.
