INPUT and OUTPUT - doc question

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:25:11 GMT

Does anyone know whether the following statement from p. 354 of the GDL Reference is still true:?

It assumes that a folder named “ArchiCAD Data Folder” exists beside ArchiCAD for user defined files. (The name of this folder is defined in the Add-On resource fork, therefore it can be localized.) If a folder with that name doesn't exist, the Add-On will create one.

It doesn't seem to be creating the folder. Some things are not working as expected, so I don't know whether this file is still required. I'm not sure where "beside ArchiCAD" is: The folder? the executable?

Cannot answer your first query Didrik, but the Data Folder resides in the application folder.

Thanks Rod. Looks like a Mac thing. I don't find such a folder on my Vista system. Maybe it was supposed to be created, but wasn't, so that's the problem I'm having. Or maybe its creation wasn't attempted and that's the problem I'm having. It's one of those nasty ' Missing comma in parameter list at line nnn of the Master script ....' that is reported by 2D and 3D scripts on Save but seems to be nowhere. So I'm grasping at straws looking for the missing array.
