Background Upload error "no target directory set"

Just testing the new jAlbum 25 background make and upload feature. This looks good, however when it goes to upload it says "no target directory set" which I assume is referring to the folder on my web server folder to upload to. I use my own web server.
When I upload the old interactive way jAlbum does provide the correct location by default (as I had previously specified).
So where do you set this in settings for the background upload?
Thanks

Please perform a manual, "foreground" upload again, then ensure that you save you project settings afterwards. Now see if jAlbum has correctly registered the target folder.

Still no luck - I get the same error message.
Can this thread be moved to the bug section of the forum or shall I re-post?

Java error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No target directory set

Thanks for reporting this bug. It only manifests if you're trying to upload to the root of your ftp account, or rather if you're trying to upload straight to the web root folder. Is this perhaps the case for you?

However, jAlbum should not behave like this. I've made adjustments to v25.0.2 now. To get this revision, choose Tools->External tools->"jAlbum core update" and restart jAlbum when prompted. The splash screen should now say 25.0.2.

Hi
I am indeed uploading to the root of an FTP server. I have updated to 25.02 and re-tested - all seems OK now in background upload.
Thanks for this excellent speedy resolution!
