but there is _always_ a current working directory. even if your file has not beed saved.
You are right. I am confusing two things worth distinguishing, the current working directory and the path to the saved file. Analogously to other environments, C/Perl/Python etc, the distinction is something like that between the variables
CWD = Initially the directory from which the application was launched, but can change during an invokation
FILE = a path belonging to an asset of application, the path to a script or source module.
I'm not sure the latter exists in Pd, or if it would even be helpful if it did.
probably adding this simple message (at a more informational loglevel than the "file not found" error) would help more: "current working directory is ..." (substitute "..." with the real working directory)
Yes. The console could even prepend a path like Bash $PS, although many would be annoyed by that where the path grows long.
Just thinking aloud at this stage.
