Cobian Reflector • Full paths in compressed files

I hope I can explain this clearly.

I was using (I think) 11 Gravity on my previous computer (running the two systems more or less in parallel -- same folder setup -- while gradually moving my workflow from one to the other), which had a hard drive failure in mid February. I'd been planning on switching the backup process to the newer computer anyway, and the failure forced the issue.

I installed Reflector on the new computer, found a copy of the configuration file from the old computer, and used it as a reference to set the new one up to back up the same folders from the new computer it had been backing up from the old one.

The compressed files are being saved in the right place and directory structure. However, while the files backed up from the old computer include the full path in the compressed file, the files from the new computer don't. This has created a huge mess for my workflow .

I've triple-checked and both old and new profiles have "Create new separated backups" and "Use absolute paths" checked. Apparently that means something different in Reflector? Whatever. How do I get the old, preferred behavior back?
