Can't find my old save path 

Hello everybody,
I installed the new build (1.5.0) about minutes ago.
I instantly ran into a problem: missing savegames.
I tried everything, migration batch, folder searching, file searching, creating savegames ad hoc (like, say, monkey-it.s97) in order to search for them in Windows 7 file search engine... but nothing was found.
I re-installed 1.4.1 and all the savegames were there when I tried to load them. It's like they exist but there's no file for them.
What should I do now?

As I said before I have Windows 7 32-bit, and ScummVM's using DEFAULT save game path (even though I'm starting to think it doesn't)

The new location is under the %AppData% folder, which is a hidden folder. You can navigate directly to the "%AppData%\ScummVM\Save Games" folder or unhide it to check it.

Sounds like you have UAC enabled in Windows 7, and the migration script is failing to find the saved game files.

Try this manual method:
Select 'Saved Games (old default)' from the Saved Games section of ScummVM on the Start Menu.
Select the 'Compatibility Files' option in Windows Explorer.
Highlight all your saved games files.
Right click and chose 'Copy'.
Select 'Saved Games (new default)' from the Saved Games section of ScummVM on the Start Menu.
Right click and chose 'Paste'.

That should hopefully work.
