[Felipegalind0]

if there is no '{sync_dir}/instructions' folder the following error occurs

I believe that the best way to fix this is to make the software show a warning message with a button that allows the user to create a '{sync_dir}/instructions' folder with one click, or change the sync_dir in case that the user set it incorrectly

I think that makes sense, the software could prompt the user to specify a valid sync directory (the sync directory is created by the RootPainter server (trainer)

I'd like to understand this problem a bit better, why does your instruction folder not exist? RootPainter needs to be setup a specific way, and the fact that the instruction folder isn't there suggests things might have gone wrong in a more fundamental way.

The client and server need to both reference a sync directory that must be created by the server. The server creates the necessary and expected folder structure for both the client and server. If your client sync directory doesn't have an instructions folder then something bigger has gone wrong and just automatically creating an instruction folder wont necessarily fix the problem.

Kind regards,
