Script location not saved

[mnjames]

If I set up a config to run a script, then navigate to a different config, and back--the script no longer runs.

When I hover over the "Select" button it remembers the correct location, but when I click "Print" I get results that indicate it's not loading the script.

If I click "Select" and re-choose the script, it works once again (until the next time I change configs).

Thanks for letting us know about this regression. I'm pretty sure it has worked well in the past. We'll look into it.

Presumably this issue may also be related:

"I've started running more scripts from within ptxprint, and I've been running up against a point of confusion.

A number of my scripts call some external file. Currently those scripts appear to be run from within the \local\ptxprint\config folder even if they're stored elsewhere, and so the external file has to be there. I haven't been able to create an absolute path, much less be able to reference "the file in the same directory as the .py script". Is there any way to do that, or do the files have to be stored in the local directory?"

I assumed the two were unrelated, which is why I sent them separately. My assumption is that the second problem isn't necessarily a "bug" with ptxprint, but rather just my lack of knowledge on where it's actually running the programs and how python deals with running a script from a location other than where it is saved.

I'm having trouble replicating this. I can't get the script to be forgotten (mine is in the project root). Notice that you need to turn off Layout Only, otherwise ptxprint won't do the processing. I've added a 'fix' to pause noUpdate if the script is newer than the pdf. BTW if this is your problem, don't kick yourself, it's VERY easy to miss, hence adding the 'fix'.

[mnjames]

I can't replicate this either. Either your noUpdate fix was my problem, or I was just doing something wrong before.

Thanks for looking at this. Sorry that it might have wasted time.
