the "Current Directory" field in the Compiler Options is quite handy to help finding content in the same dir as the source, when you compile-run codes for little tests and other things.
but if you alter it once, it will be changed to that value for ALL sources, even for all new.
please make it persistant to each single source like the other compiler options.

Isn't it already persistent?
Code: Select all
; CurrentDirectory = ..\SomeDirectory\

was strange... was hard to revoke it...
1. opened a "New File", in that way that a path was entered in the options field.
seems to happen when the last file closed had a manually entered path.
2. run a simple testcode, like
3. switch to another tab with another code that is in another source dir.
4. run it
the path will be the one manually entered, not "empty"
leads to a "file not found" when trying to load ressources from the source dir

PS:

this is not a error, only a missing feature
if you don't set the currentdir, the currentdir is undefined

it is an error.
when I clear the field manually to have the source dir as current dir, safe the file, run the other code and then switch back, the field is not empty anymore.
I will post a recipe to perform the error later..
watching "xchange" atm...

this safes the file in the directory, but doesn't set the currentdir for your application.
if i use your final and start it in a commandshell, it can't find any file in
application dir. so if freak set this for you, it's only for testing in IDE usefull,
but your application have to add:
Code: Select all
SetCurrentDirectory(GetPathPart(ProgramFilename()))
and your are on the sure side.

when I close all tabs and open a new one, there is a PATH in the CurrentDir field!
this is not a FEATURE!
... and now stop that, I'm really getting fucking angry right now!

Open Preferences/Editor/Defaults and empty the "Current directory:" line and Apply.
Should work.

ok, sorry.
yes, it was changed in the Defaults.
... I emptied the corresponding line in the Purebasic.prefs, now it works properly.
