1276.0. "Fuse editor, T4.0 problem" by CAIRN::HARRIS (Kevin Harris, dtn 381-2039) Mon May 19 1997 20:54

T4.0 problem with FUSE editor

When OPENing a file with no context (current file displayed is empty or is a
NEW file) or when doing a SAVE_AS operation on a NEW file, the default directory
in the OPEN (SAVE_AS) window is /*.  This is much less useful than in V3.n,
where the default was your environment directory.  This is a major pain, please
revert to the older behavior.  Thanks,
					-Kevin

	The location for "Save As..." and "Open..." operations is supposed to be the Project Working Directory, as set in the Project Manager. This will default to the working directory from which you started FUSE but users are typically expected to change it. If you are seeing a "Save As..." or "Open..." directory that is different from the Project Working Directory and you have not changed the Project Working Directory, then I can think of three possible explanations. 1) There's a bug there somewhere. It's possible, but the Editor did not change much for V4.0 and we haven't seen your symptom here (yet). 2) Your Project Working Directory is "/". 3) You have inadvertently set the PWD environment variable to "/". Motif dialog boxes sometimes pick up the PWD variable even if it is not appropriately set. 4) You are running the tool from the command line (fuseedit -fuse) and your working directory is "/". This could happen either deliberately or because you are running as 'root' and are running the tools from the CDE Application manager. Do any of these fit your situation?
