Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch MantidPlot
- Execute LoadEventPreNexus
- Clear all the filenames.
- Click run.
Look in the Results log window: You will see this:
Algorithm: LoadEventPreNeXus v1 Parameters:
Name: EventFilename, Value: /home/janik/Code/Mantid/Code/Mantid/release/, Default?: No, Direction: Input Name: PulseidFilename, Value: /home/janik/Code/Mantid/Code/Mantid/release/, Default?: No, Direction: Input Name: MappingFilename, Value: /home/janik/Code/Mantid/Code/Mantid/release/, Default?: No, Direction: Input Name: InstrumentFilename, Value: /home/janik/Code/Mantid/Code/Mantid/release/, Default?: No, Direction: Input
... so all the empty filenames were converted to the path where mantidplot lives (although I launched from /home/janik/Code/Mantid/Code/Mantid/debug/ ) so I don't know why it points there.
This later causes a maddening error in LoadEventPreNeXus if the mapping filename is not specified (it tries to load the folder or something)
Martyn, I assigned it to you since you last touched FileProperty, but I'm not sure if you are responsible for it; please reassign as needed.
