When using the Texture Dump feature of the HW/Vulkan core, either it/RetroArch does not create the prerequisite folder that's needed, thus errors such as provided below will appear in the log:
[libretro ERROR] failed to write to: /mnt/ChikaHa/ROMS/top-texture-dump/bcdf3632-4502e39.png
Expected behavior
Core/RetroArch should be able to create the necessary folders on its own (though preferably, shouldn't it be in retroarch's system dir?).
Actual behavior
The error above occurs, at least until the user creates said folder themselves manually and resets the core - only then does texture dumping work.
Steps to reproduce the bug
Launch a game with the Beetle PSX HW core (with logging enabled)
Enable Track Textures and Dump Textures/Replace Textures
Unpause the game
Exit/minimize RetroArch, go to the game's directory in the filesystem
Get confused as to why there's no difference or folders added
you're supposed to make them yourself it is not made to make them itself
Please direct me to where in either the documentation or the tooltip does it indicate that not creating folders and wasting an individual's time if they aren't premade using a very specific and inconvenient path and name is intended behavior.
If that somehow is intentional, then pardon the tone, but that's a bad design. Even just making folders in libretro's save or system directory would be preferable--like what the Swanstation or Mupen cores do.
