 Description

1. When opening the settings dialog (Insert> Maxima> Settings), then the path edit window shows the current path to maxima.bat, if any.

If the user just presses the button "Search for maxima.bat", then an error message is thrown, because in fact, only folder names are accepted as input.

Request: Change the preset input to a valid one by either

  • just displaying the current path without filename or
  • to ignore file names in the search input

2. Provide a  folder selection button linked to the system standard folder selection dialog.

3. If relative paths are given, also store the relative path to maxima.xml
