Hi Jim,

Maybe the manual is not the best place for this, as it is a reference
manual, but it certainly would be good to have it in the FLOSS manual,
which is written more in a tutorial style.

The problem with SFDIR in QuteCsound is a known bug...

Cheers,
Andres

../blah/blah  certainly  works (it does here). I expect ./ to do so although that is not that useful. But note that ~ is a shell thing, so

it will not work elsewhere.

Any hints getting csound to see a relative file path? i.e - file is in subfolder of present working dir = /somefolder/file.aif.

I've tried these combinations on Mac: ~/somefolder/file.aif, ./somefolder/file.aif, ../somefolder/file.aif. None work here.

If the .. directory is taken to be the parent of the directory where the CSD is, then ../the/path/to/file.wav works.

eg.  the CSD is on the desktop and the file is in /Users/victor/audio/

then ../audio/myfile.wav  does work.
