One lowly and lonely voice saying no objections....


Please give the path on *.pro a good looking over while you are in there
refurbishing.

In the back of my mind yesterday I thought I saw a case where at least a window
title or something was not correct WRT to the path where the project file was
supposed to go into.


1) load eeschema from the command line, no arguments.

2) Save the initial empty schematic as /tmp/test.sch

3) Somewhere in there I thought I saw a bad path on the *.pro file, (perhaps it
was just a window title or something).  Just consider it piss poor memory on my
part, I'm not quite accepting it yet myself, but it looks like I should.
