Hey, I have a problem in which the auto updater for android sdk didnt work because it was installed in a folder with a space in it. so I reinstalled the sdk with android studio, but when i tried to change the sdk path in preferences.txt, it didnt work, every time I restarted processing the sdk path switched to the old one and so I can’t run any program because I get an error.
