PCB Plot files location problem - Creator edition. Cannot set Sub Directory for plots


I usually save my PCB Plots to a folder below the Design File, normall just called 'PCB Plots' which I would set in the options dialogue window. However, having just moved from Explorer to the Creator subscription, I find that the "This folder below the design file:" box is greyed out and permanently set to a recently used folder which is not appropriate for current and future designs. I do not have the Compose button to its right either to set up the file naming parameters as the Help File suggests I should.

I have searched the registry and found the PlotSubdir entry pertaining to the unchangeable recent entry, which I could manually change as a workaround if necessary, but it shouldn't be necessary of course.

DSPCB is fully up to date including the February 23rd patch, and runs happily on my 15-year old Windows 7 x64 system. I intend to update to a new PC in the near future and obviously to Win 11.

Do I need to reinstall DSPCB and apply the patch again to recover this in the meantime?

Any guidance on a fix is most welcome.

Thanks
