[WDSCI-L] Show stopping editor error opening source member:
Specified working directory not found.

First, I have RDi 9.6, my Java is very up to date...

Have things changed where RDi no longer provides it's own Java? The Java
installed on my system never used to matter.

Well, based on other comments you may be right. I found an IBM jdk file in the /Applications/ folder on my Mac. (Sorry I forgot to mention the Mac)

I have an editor issue, trying to open a member for edit (or browse) in
RDI, I get an error message instead, "Specified working directory not
found." For several different source members.

Tried quitting RDi then re-launching, nope.

Tried uninstalling RDi and reinstalling, Nope.

Tried creating a new workspace to work in. Nope.

Then tried deleting the old workspace directory to see if the new one
would now work. Nope

Then I tried deleting the new (and now only) workspace directory and
re-launch. (The welcome page was funny but) Nope.

Then I tried posting a message to the IBM RDi forum, and here we are,
seeing if anybody has a solution to this. (Licensing is not an issue)

And now, I am cross posting the above list of "I already did this" to
this midrange list.

I have to ask because it's a common issue. When installing, did you
right-click and use 'Run as Administrator'? I've personally never had an
issue with this, but it seems to be a common source of problems.

I don't remember doing the right-click thing, but the ID I use is /the/ admin for my Mac, and in any case anytime I do something that needs admin it just pops up to enter the admin credentials input. On the command line in the terminal for Macs you use sudo first and if it needs it you get  a prompt there for credentials too.
