Cobian Reflector • Always create top parent folder (bug?)

Hi Cobian,

Thank you for creating this refreshed Cobian Reflector.

I am using Cobian Reflector 2.3.6.

If I set ON the option "General > Create new separated backups", then at "Advanced > Always create top parent folder" is grayed (sometimes ON, sometimes OFF), that is strange.


Moving forward to what seems a bug...
A backup with such settings:

Task name:
MyBackupForTesting

General > Create new separated backups ON
Backup type: full backup

Files > Source:
c:\myfiles\subdirectory

Dynamics >
Full copies to keep: 10

Archive >
Compression: Global Monolithic archive
Method: 7Zip

Advanced:
Use absolute paths ON
Always create top parent folder: GREYED

Files > Destination:
R:\backup



Expected result:
R:\backup\MyBackupForTesting.7z (with the full path inside the 7zip file)

Real result:
R:\backup\c\myfiles\subdirectory\MyBackupForTesting.7z (with the full path inside the 7zip file)


That seems a bug for me.
