Different output paths for different processing recipes

I thought I could specify different output paths for different processing recipes and, as a result, process the same image multiple times to different locations with different settings.

I don't seem to get that to work properly, each time I change the output folder for a processing recipe it changes it across all recipes.

Am I missing something?

  There is a general Output Folder to which all recipes can be pointed and I suspect that is the one you are changing.
  
  In the File tab of the Process recipe definition you can specify an alternative path for each recipe using either of the defaults to Output Folder (pointing to the general Output Folder specific as mentioned in this post above.), image folder (to put it back in the same folder as the original image) or some other folder of your choosing anywhere available to your system that completely bypasses the "Output Folder option lower down the tools list in the tab..
  
  In any of those locations you also make use of sub-folders should you wish.
  
  Does this start to help?

  Thanks SFA. It narrows things down. Looking at the help below, I have an expression in the sub-folder to create a new directory, if the directory does not already exist. This is what I am changing and what changes for all process recipes once changed for all.
  
  In addition, I would also like to change Root Folder - i.e., use different root folders for different profiles. Although this does not matter as much.

  Those look as though they are screenshots taken from the Help files, not your own screenshots. Correct?
  
  If so, have you mistaken where you are looking to put in the subfolder? If you do it in the Output Location tool on the output tab, it will affect every recipe, so don't do that. If you have an entry there, delete it. Why you need is to do it in the similarly named subfolder field on the File tab of the Process Recipe tab, as shown in the second screenshot.

  Thanks Grant and Ian, I am/was indeed using the Output Location. It is not a very intuitive interface I must admit.
  
  Edit: Of course, there is always a glitch. C1 15 12.1.4 does not allow me to use an iCloud folder as the output but the previous version did.
