I can't reproduce this with 4.85BETA3 on Windows. I assumed you are
running on Windows because of the file name you gave. Here's what I did:
        "Quick scan" twice.
        Save to Directory.
        Click Desktop.
        Create Folder.
        Type "abc".
        Select the new folder.
        Save.
The folder abc is created on the desktop with two XML files in it, as
expected.

I also tried doing it without using the "Create Folder" button.
        "Quick scan" twice.
        Save to Directory.
        Click Desktop.
        Type "def\" in the Location entry.
        Save.
But that shows an error dialog: "Can't save file. [Error 3] The system
cannot find the path specified: u'C:\\Documents and
Settings\\david\\Desktop\\def\\*.*'".

Can you be more specific about the steps you took to get the apparent
hang?
