BBEdit passes -I `script’s directory` when executing the script so that local modules are found. By default, it doesn’t mess with the working directory. You can choose “Run…” (hold down the option key) and set “chdir to Script’s Folder” in that dialog if you require this behavior. (That setting is sticky.) - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
