[FX.php List] Folder path?

[Dale Bengston]

Bob,

I think the reason this is not supported has to do with philosophy.  
It's a lot harder to accidently remove or power off an internal drive  
than an external one. I suspect really really bad things would happen  
if you disconnected your live databases located on an external drive,  
so FMI is trying to save us from ourselves.

I'm not saying one couldn't make a case for putting database files on  
an external drive; I'm just thinking FMI has let us know in a pretty  
strong way where they stand on the subject.
