Files outside parser directory....

[scrapefun]

How do you access files outside the parser directory with the latest version?

I've followed the directions:

In config / config.txt you need to register the file:
allow_outside_files: 1
and restart the parser

So the only thing I have in the config.txt file is the line:
allow_outside_files: 1

After restarting and trying to access queries file outside parser directory I don't see any way to select files outside the directory.

Think I'm missing a step or two

This setting is for results files and allows the use of manually specified paths for files results.
For queries files custom path can be passed only through the API.
We recommend using this setting only in exceptional cases, because this may affect the safety of the parser.

ok, thanks for the clarification.

So do you just specify a normal file path?
c:\path\to\results\results.txt

Can you use this for the path of "failed" query files as well?
