David, I believe you were emailing my colleague about this.

The problem was is the user selected an incorrect path for FileZilla, when he tried to correct it, the error below appeared.

We corrected it by removing the Devolutions folder in his windows Local profile folder and recreated all the settings manually.

I'd still consider this a bug, the string should be able to be changed.

Thanks

Hi,
I have modified the program (beta) to allow you to fix the string. Thank you very much
