The missing piece, as you pointed out in our discussion at pycon, is

the project manager. One of the key things (the only thing?) in a

project file is the home directory for the project. If when opening a

project file the directory doesn't exist the appdev could be prompted

for it.

For the time being couldn't we just implement this in

dabopreferences.db?

Or at the app level with a ProjectHomeDir (means a different thing and

only relevant at design time) property?

Portability aside, it makes no sense for an app property set at design

time to determine the home directory at run time. Unless you are going

to require the end user to put the application in a proscribed

location...
