Working directory not cleaned from old files

Question

(Fireshot 0.97.1, SeaMonkey 2.6.1, Windows 7).

I have set the Fireshot preferences to "remove files in my working directory which are older than 16 days". From the warning given in the preference tab ("don't use the folder with other files in them: YOU WILL LOSE THEM"), I conclude that this is supposed to erase ALL older files from the working directory, not only those saved with FireShot. This is exactly what I want.

However, this cleanup never happens. No file - not even files created by FireShot - are removed from this directory.

Accepted Answer

Hello and sorry for the late answer. This folder is used only when you export to External Editor. There were some bugs actually, but they all will be fixed prior to the next release.

I can confirm this. This issue is fixed with the latest version. Tried it with both IE and FF.
