There is a bug in the FF Command Line Renderer that appears to ask for the file CurvePresets.xml in the wrong directory

Running Filter Forge 9 and Catalina

I'm using the package provided XML example file with light edits to reflect FF 9 directories and updated filter numbers from the library.

Error in the console log is:

Exception caught at thread 0x1121b7dc0 'Application':
<XFW::IO::FileNotFound> File '/Applications/Resources/CurvePresets.xml' not found.

It seems to be looking at the wrong directory, it should be /Applications/Filter Forge 9/Resources/CurvePresets.xml

here is a link to the console log file and the XML I used

Update to this. I tested a workaround fix by dropping a copy of the Resources folder with CurvePresets.xml inside into the Applications folder and it worked.

BUT I ran into another issue. It's also looking for the environments folder in that same pathway. Simple filters worked but not 3D filters. So I also dropped a copy of the Environments folder with all it's contents into the Applications folder and that worked.

To summarize:

-FFCmdRenderer is looking for CurvePresets.XML and the Environments folder in the wrong path.
-A temp workaround can be achieved by making a COPY of those things and putting them where the program expects them, the Applications folder directly.

QueenKellee, thank you for the report. We fixed the installer, please download and reinstall the latest version from the Download page. ffcmdrenderer is now located at /Applications/Filter Forge 9/.
