I think it was a shell command and`sudo` may have been required ... I had to do it with Mavericks (or earlier) ... it's possible that with Yosemite that it is no longer possible:) I haven't checked for a while.

    Mariano,

    I think this _is_ the OSX issue that I was talking about ... there
    is a way to arrange for PWD to be set correctly when double
    clicking apps, but it has to be set a system option so each user
    has to do it themselves ...


Is that a setting in the Desktop preferences (or...?) or is it a setting on the app itself?

        Because there is this concept called "consistency" that's

        If your code wants $HOME it can ask for it explicitly, same
        for /. However if it just wants to do something in $PWD
        consistent with most use-cases, the image directory is the
        sensible default.


    I agree with Pollet. I don't care if it is image directory or
    $HOME. What I care is that $PWD of the VM process should match
    with FileSystem >> workingDirectory.  And right now it does not
    match.

            so, why do you want to make it the image directory?
