Nothing there. First, please note: pcb-rnd is a UNIX software, the windows port is the same code, all following the UNIX philosophy, just compiled to windows. So there are a few things that might be strange and is definitely different from a windows software. One of these things is: CWD (the current working directory), what your current directory is when you start pcb-rnd, does matter. So I will need extra info to understand what exactly happened there: 1. if you cd to bin/ and run pcb-rnd from there, all files that are supposed to be created in CWD, will be created in bin/; if you don't like that, you either shouldn't specify paths to point to CWD or you should change your CWD before you start pcb-rnd. So I need to know what your CWD exactly is when you experience this. 2. I will need to know the exact string you enter as the file name, and whether it is cam or direct exporting; best if you just make a screenshot of that export dialog. If the "gtk file selection dialog" gets involved in any of these, I'd like to see a screenshot about that too, at the state it's already filled in and is waiting for the final button click to do its thing. 3. if we are speaking of home directories (or user's directory, abbreviated by ~/ prefix in the path) or any other special location, I'll need to the full path of those too, to fully understand the bug. (please note: I am not a windows user so I can only try to reproduce any of this under wine) TIA, Igor2
