Launcher Bug Reporting / feedback

Greetings devs,
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section. I just downloaded the launcher today, but I figured my issue was worth reporting.
When launching the patcher to download the game there is not an option to "Pause download". Not a bug, in itself, but merely just a lack of the option.
The bug occurred when I realized I installed the game on my harddrive instead of my solid state. Rather than re-download the entire game, I went and cut the install folder from the former to the latter. When I selected the SSD, I mistakenly selected the launcher folder rather than the intended 'IntrepidStudios' folder.
Unable to pause the download in order to select the proper folder, I was forced to task manage-close the launcher. Reopening the launcher continued the download. Hit the uninstall, restarted the launcher, and the download did not indicate un-installation, but continued the download.
To solve my issue I had to go into the launcher folder and delete the folder that the launcher was installing to in order for the prompt to select an install folder again. However when I later selected the proper folder with the exact folder name, the patcher decided to not merge or detect the files already located in the folder. The best way to explain it would be:
The intended outcome:
SSD>IntrepidStudios>AshesofCreation>PROD>(All file contents)
The bugged outcome:
SSD>IntrepidStudios>IntrepidStudios>AshesofCreation>PROD>(All file contents)
>AshesofCreation>PROD>(All file contents)
What I hope this shows is that the launcher (again) did not detect the already existent files but instead, installed another copy of the game in the same folder path without merging. This would've resulted in ~160 gb and forced me to delete the copied folder for a fresh install.
To summarize; not able to pause the download when it's active or to select a new folder at whichever point caused confusion and headache. I know that someone with less computer knowledge would likely become highly irritated and quit the game before it even had a chance to start. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this helps in anyway possible.
PS: I bought into the Alpha after watching Steve talk with Asmongold. Y'all have my support 100% all the way to release! Good luck!
