Version 5.1.5, Windows 11 21H2 22000

Describe the bug
Temporary files are created NEXT to the selected directory, instead of INSIDE the directory. If the selected directory is "C:\temp" then the files will be found at "C:\dssfile.tmp" instead of "C:\temp\dssfile.tmp".

Provide necessary data to reproduce the problem
Install DSS and stack images. I have tried reinstalling the application, as well as clearing all settings and files related to DSS.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Stack Checked Pictures'.
  2. Click on 'Stacking Settings'.
  3. Click on 'Temporary files folder'.
  4. Select the directory where temporary files should be created.

Expected behavior
Temporary files are created inside the selected directory.

Additional context
I suspect that DSS simply lacks a '/' at the end of the path. The temp files appear to have the directory appended in the beginning of the files. So if the selected directory is called "temp" the files will be called "tempDSSxxxxx.tmp". If the directory is "dssfiles" the files will be called "dssfilesDSSxxxxx.tmp".

I managed to find some time to look at this. Are you up for testing a fix?

Absolutely :)

After next to no testing - just did one stack of the 45 minutes I happened to capture this night - it does indeed seem to work. All stacks on the official release had the same issue, so even a single stack that doesn't do it is proof enough for me :)
