fix autobackup location
What changed, and why it matters
This is a one-line bug fix in a mobile/desktop cryptocurrency wallet's auto-backup screen. The developer changed which folder path is recorded as the backup destination: previously the code saved the user's original picked path, and now it saves a computed 'pathToSave' variable. Without more context we cannot tell whether this fixes a security problem or merely a functional/UI bug, but it could affect where sensitive backup files are written.
Review the full create_auto_backup_view.dart file to verify how savedPath and pathToSave are computed, confirm the corrected path is not world-readable or cloud-synced by default, and ensure encrypted backup files are not written to unexpected locations. Treat as a routine bug fix unless further review reveals a security boundary violation.
Security signals we found
Sensitive file path handling changed (backup destination)
Potential mismatch between displayed and actual backup location
No explicit security language in commit title or message
Evidence from the diff
In create_auto_backup_view.dart, the assignment to autoBackupLocation was changed from savedPath to pathToSave. The surrounding code is not shown, so we do not know how pathToSave differs from savedPath. Possible implications include: backups being written to an unintended directory, backups leaking to shared/cloud-synced storage, or the UI displaying a different path than the actual destination. The diff alone does not prove any of these; it only shows a path-variable correction.
