The 'Path' in the filter settings can't be edited manually and only can be changed by navigating to an existing folder with the 'Browse' button, unlike the one in the regular OBS settings for the recording path.
Use-case:
For my portable OBS instance(s) I usually create a recordings folder in the root of the installation where the portable_mode.txt is located. That way in the Settings > Output > Recording path I can configure it as ..\..\recording (relative from the obs executable and the recordings move and stay contained within the portable setup.
Mirroring the default UI behaviour and allowing custom entry in the path field would potentially also fix #46, if folders get created if they don't already exist, this folder creation does happen for the replaybuffer filename prefix when adding a path with a \ or / in it.
