I've just had a catastrophic issue caused my EmuDeck.
When I installed it on Windows 11 through the regular installer, it didn't seem to have the "Emulation" folder anywhere (it seems now that it was actually created on my D drive, where I least expected it - that's a secondary SSD, in my case), nor would the folder open when I went through the manual import process in the GUI (it still won't after changing to a custom folder, for what it's worth).
So I set a custom folder for EmuDeck. I made it my Documents folder because I figured it would create an Emulation folder in there. Worst case scenario, it'd dump all its files in there instead and I'd have to clean it up later.
But what actually happened is that EmuDeck deleted EVERYTHING in my Documents folder, included files that were symlinked on other drives, and replaced it all with its own empty folders. I didn't have a backup of all of those files either (my fault, but besides the point), so I'm trying to recover my files manually, but in short: this feature evidently does NOT work as intended and is extremely destructive if used on an already-populated folder.
This is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed ASAP, and hopefully posting about it here will prevent others from having the same issue.
