Does that mean the initial working directory is > inaccessible, somehow? i just meant that anyone can read the directory. i didn't test this too hard, but to me this looks like the file browsing dialog tries to access the wd, fails and crashes the whole application. i've noticed that aaron also reports the issue in a screencast and managed to work around it by running RKWard with admin rights: o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SiDjap-m9o#t=1m07s as this also seems to solve the issue, i assume it's some weird access rights problem.

Or do you have an idea on how to approach this? well, since the solution here is always the same, the windows version of RKWard could have a simple checkbox to set this option, rather than typing in the function call. something similar could be done for the initial working directory, for all platforms and not as a checkbox, but as an input field with an optional file selector dialog. the second is not a fix, but makes it more comfortable to workaround (besides, i'd find an option to set the startup working directory useful anyway). viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d"usseldorf
