...when you install jD 1.7.2 as fresh installation is created now as default a folder named: jdownloads (prior: downloads).
That's the point:
as a fresh install the folder is named downloads...
I manualy renamed in jdownloads to make the component work...
I'm a absolute beginer but i want to lern, so be kind...
I mean, that is in the install.jdownloads.php (com_jdownloads_1.7.2_rc_build_762) around line 1070:
//********************************************************************************************
// Checked default directories
//********************************************************************************************
// downloads
$dir_exist = is_dir(JPATH_SITE."/downloads");
Is corect /downloads or /jdownloads?
