Re: [sc-users] strange crashy state in win32

Martin, 

This seems to fixed it on the part of the synthdefs (synthdefs are getting written to the correct place), however I am still getting a Primitive FileWrite fail on the part of the network drive, perhaps it is pulling another property that also references the network drive:

ERROR: Primitive '_FileWrite' failed.
Failed.
RECEIVER:
Instance of File {    (02FE5430, gc=EC, fmt=00, flg=00, set=01)
  instance variables [1]
    fileptr : nil
}

        arg path = "\\server-data\username\Document..."

        var delta = nil
        var item = <instance of Function>
    Meta_AppClock:tick   02F8B6A0
        arg this = class AppClock
        var saveClock = class SystemClock
    Process:tick   02F8B760
        arg this = <instance of Main>

I think the property is being pulled from Platform.userAppSupportDir. Is there a good way to change this? would it help?

Hi Graham,

Like James says, use 3.3 alpha 6, not 3.2.

Try adding the following line to your 'startup.sc' file:

SynthDef.synthDefDir = "c:\path\to\synthdefs";

where "\path\to\synthdefs" is a folder on your local machine.
