jit.matrix.mxo broken in 5.1.4

tomtom's icon

hello,

since the 5.1.4 update. you can not read .jxf files
directly with an absolute path anymore.
(message: read myAbsolutepath/myMatrix.jxf)
you get the following error:
jit.matrix: can't find file myAbsolutepath/myMatrix.jxf

it works, if you use a read message and select
it manualy with the filechooser.

if i replace the 5.1.4 version of the jit.matrix.mxo
with the 5.1.3 version, everything works as expected.

it is still not working on my machine.
creation date of the jit.matrix.mxo is 29th of may 2010.
no additional searchpath ...

i can confirm there's something strange.
the write message followed by a symbol works. but the read message followed by the same symbol does not. (in 42462)

it returns :

jit.matrix: can't find file /Users/G/Desktop/truc.jxf
print: read /Users/G/Desktop/truc.jxf -1

this is definitely a bug.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed and we hope to provide an update with the installer soon. In the meantime, here is a fixed version, which *also* works with writing with absolute paths, something which was a problem before.
