Master merchant not saving sales history

[kizmiazz]

Hey all,

My Master merchant does not appear to be permanently saving its scan results.

Every time I log in, it tells me that it has 0 records on file and that it must scan my guilds for the first time, after which it proceeds to do a lengthy scan of each of my guilds going back 10 days. I have been using the add on for about 3 weeks and during this time, my sales history has never gone back past 10 days. FYI I am in a couple of very active trading guilds.

I noticed that the MM##Data.lua files in my SavedVariables folder had not been modified in almost 20 days, so I used minion to delete saved variables and reinstall the addon.

Now, even after running a full scan and logging out of the game, there are no MM*.lua files in my SavedVariables folder. This seems like a problem to me.

As for the MM##Data folders in my AddOns folder, they do not seem to have been modified since I reinstalled the add on over an hour ago, even though I have logged in twice and done 2 complete scans prior to logging out each time.

Any idea why my scan data does not appear to be saving to my local disk?

EDIT: SOLVED!

The issue turned out to be my antivirus software.

Specifically, Bitdefender Total Security has a feature called Safe Files which 'protects' the documents folder by default. This seemed to be preventing ESO from writing to the SavedVariables folder even though ESO was given 'Application Access". Disabling this feature entirely allowed all of my addons to update their .lua files when logging out of the game, and thus also fixed the issue with Master Merchant.
