autoconfig dir can move

  1. I connected a controller and saved an auto config
  2. It went to the public exposed folder as expected
  3. /storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/autoconfig
  4. But then I tried to save an auto config for a different controller
  5. Wouldn't turn up
  6. Go to Settings -> Directory -> Controller Profiles.
  7. It got moved to the hidden /data/user/0 dir.
  8. This is androids fault. Automatic Resets:
  9. Even if you manually change the directory in settings, RetroArch may reset it back to this internal /data/user/0/ path upon restarting if it loses permission to the custom folder.
