[Bug] Regression: CubeMX 4.27.0 ProjectManager.CustomerFirmwarePackage is neither saved nor loaded

[Morty Morty]

In the latest version of Cube it is possible to set a custom (fixed) firmware location, but it is not saved. Also when setting the path as absolute it is ignored and when setting it relative (This worked fine in 4.26) I get an exception:

Hi @Moritz Strübe​ ,

I report this issue to our STM32CubeMX team for farther check.

Hello,

This issue should be already fixed in last STM32CubeMX version.

Do you confirm that you don't face any more the described problem?

Thanks,

Amel

Hi @Amel NASRI​ ,

I am still facing this issue using STM32CubeMX v5.4.0, the custom "Firmware Location" path is not saved in the *.ioc file.

Furthermore, the path cannot be manually edited, thus making it impossible to use a relative path.

I hope this issue will be tackled soon as it very inconvenient. If there is any workaround, I'd be happy to try it out.

Thanks,

Frank
