My wife is using Sigil 0.9.13 to edit her ebook. Today saying that her edits from yesterday are not are not there, though, the last modified date on the file in the laptop folder is yesterday (5/26/19) at 4:12 PM, which she says is about when she stopped and saved the file. The file on the NAS backup folder show the previous day (5/26/19 4:52 PM). The two file when opened both end with the same sentence.

When I opened Sigil Preferences->General Settings, the Set Folder where temporary file should be saved had a value. I need to know what that file path is. When I clicked on the browse button, in stead of opening the folder in the text box, the dialog opened the current editor file's folder, which immediately replaced the preference text box content. As a software architect, that behavior was totally unexpected.

Now I need that default value to see if a temporary copy of her edits is there. I do not want to close the Preferences window for fear that the folder will be deleted thus permanently losing the missing edits.
