Thanks, Alex. I take it that means that my method of setting the path of subsidiary folders won't work in Dreamcard Player. So what does one do?
I wish I had a good answer for that ...... here's what I do.
[context here was that before Dreamcard Player, I would just use "the folderpath of this stack" and store my data files in there]
I've worked around this by (once only) asking the using to specify the folder they wish to use, and storing this in a preferences file; if I find a prefs file and it specifies a data folder, then there's no need to ask again. Code something likeIt's not great - means the user has select a folder (or file) when they shouldn't need to - but it should only ever happen once to each user, so it's not too bad. Once the user has given a folder, its path can be stored in the prefs file, and therefore he is never asked again.
