IIUC thats what the SF bug is about, windows locks its WD[^1], and so the only "solution" is to change the WD so windows locks some irrelevant directory. Because that directory has to exist to CWD to it, the Geany solution of using its install is reasonable, its pretty sure to exist :-). > Alternatively if Windowsers agree, we possibly could try and default the > open/save dialogs to > [g_get_home_dir()](https://docs.gtk.org/glib/func.get_home_dir.html) on > Windows I guess. Thats possibly sensible, yeah. [^1]: its not as silly as it seems, not allowing the base for relative paths to be removed while the process executes is good. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/3664#discussioncomment-7432896 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
