Bug report: Secondary storage destinations not appearing under "Output"

[danimations]

I set up a new machine with the latest build of OBS on Friday (clean OS and clean install), and discovered that when I went to "Output" to select a recording destination, the directory tree wouldn't show any drives other that the one with the OS on it (in my case, Ubuntu 18.4).

This is problematic for PCs with small internal storage capacity. Actually, it's a deal breaker.

I tried various additional drives in the PC in question, both internal and external, and none of them would show up in OBS's directory tree when assigning an output destination for recordings. The drives worked fine through the OS for other uses outside of OBS... they were readable, writable and generally accessible.

I haven't had this problem with earlier builds of OBS running on similar hardware.

Could someone look into this please?

You are aware that Linux does not have the concept of "different dives"? They will get integrated into the root file system. E.g. external drives get mounted into /media usually. But note this is your OS responsibility - not OBS.

Thanks @Tuna , I wasn't aware of that... I'm relatively inexperienced with Ubuntu/Linux.

PS, I found the external drives under /media, as you suggested :)
