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

[Martin Victory <martin.victory@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Graham,

On startup SC is trying to write the file "SC_helptree.cache.txt" to
the same directory your synthdefs folder is in. You are correct, this
would be the Platform.userAppSupportDir directory. Unfortunately, it
can't be changed (AFAIK).

This shouldn't stop you from booting the server and making sound. It
simply means that you probably can't use Help.gui

However, as a quick hack you could change line 27 in
'SCClassLibrary/Common/Files/Help.sc', from:

cachePath = Platform.userAppSupportDir +/+ "SC_helptree.cache.txt";

to

cachePath = SynthDef.synthDefDir++".." +/+ "SC_helptree.cache.txt";

Regards,
Martin V
