Description (last modified by Alex Buts) (diff)

Start MantidPlot

Select view->preferences->mantid->directories.

Using directory browser choose new directory to look for users python scripts

Press apply.

An exception is thrown that the file does not exist

After selecting -> continue working and Apply two more times exception disappears and the path is set.

Tested on Mantid freshly installed on new machine. Does not happen on my developer's machine.

Annoying!

Like I noted in ticket #5288.

This ticket has been fixed but I have managed to get the exception to throw once. I have created a ticket #5433 to fix this. It would be very rare that the user finds this exception so I have moved that ticket to the next release.
