Thanks for reporting this.
$PSVersionTable
Yes, it works fine with the tweak. Tested several different ways. Launching with PowerShell, launching from PowerShell ISE, adding -SortColNo argument, etc.
Negative, adding the environment variable of C:\Scripts to the Path variable solved the issue. Even tested removing it and confirmed this is what caused the script to error out for me.
I usually note this requirement, but checking post #1 I see I forgot this time.

$show_folder1 to $show_folder3 must be New, Storage, Alerts in that order; likewise,$show_folder4 to $show_folder16 must be Aux1-13.$show_folder1 to $show_folder4.Hahah Fixed. Read the directions newb!
The change is a good idea. I'll make the change in V7.
-ShowFolders to display all Blue Iris Storage folders & highlight those that will be displayeddefault_filename_format_flg is detected (regardless of its value)-Help; usage guide no longer displayed by default$bi_folders declaration ('Aux 3e')-ShowFolderIn my opinion, even the warning is un-needed. The script now works like any other command - just execute the name if it's in the path, otherwise you need to call it by full pathname. This is the expected behaviour on Windows, there's no need to inform people that the script isn't in the path.
My bad. I was rushing and compared the wrong user-setting files. I'll fix the post.
if ($cur_ary_cnt -gt 0 -and $Days -ne 0) {if ($timestamp_output_csv_files_flg -and $archive_lifetime_days -ne 0) {$archive_lifetime_days to be set to negative numbers. ANY negative number will prune ALL the CSV files. Other values behave the same as before.
