[SOLVED] Can not create "New" from RunSofa Window> File>New

[MegaMind]

Brand new install of SOFA:
Sofa-16.08.0-win64

Try to create a new scene in RunSofa with File>New in menu.
Nothing happens and terminal window error reads:

[ERROR] [FileRepository] File share/config/newScene.scn NOT FOUND in :C:/Users/Andrey/Documents/Software/SOFA/Downloaded program files/Binary/Unzipped/16_08_0
/Sofa-16.08.0-win64/etc/../share/sofa/examples:C:/Users/Andrey/Documents/Software/SOFA/Downloaded program files/Binary/Unzipped/16_08_0/Sofa-16.08.0-win64/etc/.
./share/sofa

Tried moving all files right on C:/ thinking it might be a too long of a file path but same error.

Possible fix
Noticed it is looking here for file:
/share/config/newScene.scn
But it is in here:
/share/sofa/config/newScene.scn

Also No Help options are available under “Help”
“Contents”
“Index”
“About”
Might be related to a new file structure.

Hi Andrey,

Indeed, I located this bug in RealGUI.cpp#933. The share/ folder should not be included in newScene.scn path.
We will update the release asap.

Concerning the Help menu, it is here but deactivated just to remind us to implement it. You just raised this task’s priority 😉

Thank you for your feedback!
Guillaume.

Hi Andrey,

The FIX is now cherry-picked on master.
The sources (both v16.08 and master branch) include the change.
It will be therefore integrated in the next release.

Thank you again for your notice.
Best,

Hugo
