When I go to restore a file, I click the folder and choose a folder to restore to. I then right-click the file I want to restore and choose restore. However, it always overwrites the original directory.
Here is the event in the log:
19:16:49.000 Command: duplicacy -background -log restore -r 1 -overwrite – “Shared Info/IMG_4440.JPG”

I am trying to restore IMG_4440.JPG to C:\Users\adminsitrator.domain\Documents\
What is the folder you were trying to restore to? Duplicacy sets that directory as the current working directory and then runs the restore command. So if it still restored to the original directory then it means setting the current working directory failed, but if that happens you should have seen an error before that.
Can you check if there is a ‘.duplicacy’ folder under the folder you were trying to restore to?
A workaround that should always work is to use the CLI version which can be found under the same directory as the GUI executable. Run the init command under the restore folder, and then run the restore command. Here is the user manual if you need more information.

Yes, there is a .duplicacy folder in that directory.
I thought Duplicacy was trying to write to the repository instead of the restore directory you specified. So you were using the repository as the restore destination directory. Can you try using a different directory to see if the problem persists?
