Hi Mark,
tinyDictionary tries on preopenCard -> loadPreferences to find via
put specialFolderPath("support") into tFolderSupport
an "application support" folder and there a "LcTinyDict" folder where it
tries to create a txt file "tinyPrefs.txt"
This is in the card script.
If it can not create the folder then the alert appears. I don't know
anything about Linux and where that folder might be. Or may be it is a
permission thing?
Ah.
The good folks at LC haven't found it neccesary to allow more than a
handful of folderIdentifiers for linux. And in spite of what the
documentation says, the result is *not* set to "folder not found" when a
non-supported or nonexistent folderIdentifier is specified - it's just
empty, which is somewhat less useful.
I default saving preferences files to the directory where the saving
stack lives, and normally that's my user Plugins folder, and I use the
undocumented (http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16189)
revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath() function to get those.
