[Qucs-bugs] QUCS folder bug on windows

[John D. <jd...@uk...>]

Hi,

I've had a spot of bother with QUCS on winXP.

On the system I am using C: is the HDD and D: is a DVD+RW (empty).

* on starting QUCS I get a working directory error dialog, see start-error.png.
* simulation fails (using one of the sample circuits), see simulate-error1.png and simulate-error2.png.
* viewing last netlist (and similar) fali in a like manner
* on exit QUCS I get a can't save settings error dialog, see exit-error.png.

This, sadly, makes QUCS rather unuseful on my windows systems. It looks like it should be quite useful.

Looks like there may be 2 problems:
* pathnames are not being combined appropriately for windows (drive name and path separator problems perhaps).
* QUCS has "D:/Users/<username>" hard coded into it as the user folder. This is correct on none of my windows systems; it needs to check the registry for the correct location.

cheers
