Hi Vic,
I think you have encountered a different bug. The method that opens
files on the command line needs modification.
VB: Yep, you are right. I can still translate the file when I open from
within BB. It is only when I open it from the command line that it won't
work.
I thought you had created the folders manually. I'll also bet that the
reason they aren't created on my machine is that Java doesn't like the
C: at the beginning of the path.
VB: I deleted them manually before each test just to see if they would be
created by BB. My installation is on C: so I don't know what would happen if
it wasn't. What is your Windows drive letter? It really shouldn't matter
since the drive letter is part of the %AppData% environment variable. You
are using that, right?
