Application exported in a wrong folder

[Jean-no]

Description

Sometimes, when exporting an application, the files are not created in the right sketch folder but in another folder.

Expected Behavior

The application folders should be exported in the sketch folder of the current program

Current Behavior

The application folders are created in the sketch folder of another program (wich has once been opened in the same session, I guess it means that the path is wrongfully remembered)

Steps to Reproduce

I don't now if it cas easely be reproduced, but it happened to me more than once. I fist I thought the app wasn't created at all, but once I noticed it was just made in a wrong place.

1. work on a first program
2. work on a second program
3. export the second program as application (with Java embed)
4. see that the export can't be found in the right folder

Your Environment

• Processing version: 4.01
• Operating System and OS version: Kubuntu 20.04 with Plasma 5.18.8
• Other information: I also have path-related issues when loading a csv file. There are no spaces in the path.

Possible Causes / Solutions

It seems to me that the path of a formerly opened sketch was kept and used for the current sketch at the moment of the export.

@Jean-no Hello Sir, I want to contribute in this issue. Can you please tell me about this more?

[Jean-no]

Hi ! I can't really tell you more, I will try to pay attention next time I perform an app export (I didn't notice the same thing lately)

Can anyone else confirm that this is happening? I haven't seen anything like it and haven't been able to reproduce the behavior.

Just ran into what's happening here… Will be fixed for 4.1.4 or 4.2 (whatever release comes after 4.1.3).
