Fout issues in Cabbage 2.9?

[JonNelson]

Hey Everyone! fout doesn’t seem to work for me in Cabbage 2.9.0 (worked fine for me in 2.8.15). Anyone else having this issue? btw, I am on both an iMacPro 8-core Xeon W machine and a MacBook Pro M1 machine, both running OSX 12.6.2 (Monterey). Again, on both machines fout is working fine in Cabbage 2.8.15

Thanks in advance!
Jon

Hi Jon, happy new year So you can read about this issue here:

Potential breaking change with paths in Csound

I recently made a change to how Cabbage runs. Until recently Cabbage would always set the folder containing the loaded .csd file as the current working directory. This had some knock-on effects for certain hosts, Unity, Sibelius, etc. Because these hosts all try to change the current working directory, things get screwy pretty quick. With the recent change, you can no longer take for granted that the location of the .csd file is the root directory. Best practice is to pass paths relative to your…

The tl;dr is that Cabbage no longer sets the .csd folder as the current directory. So you need to include full paths to any files. It’s a little annoying, but you can read the rational for it in that thread.

Hi Rory!

Happy New year to you as well! Thanks as always for your reply, this makes sense and I probably should have figured this out, or at the very least should have noticed your previous announcement!!
I appreciate it and hope all is well with you these days,
Jon
