Strange, maybe a MacOs Tcl/Tk issue. For example the following code works on
Linux :
======================
package require Tk
set scidBooksDir "/what/ever/not/exist"
proc setBooksDir {} {
global scidBooksDir
set dir [tk_chooseDirectory -initialdir $scidBooksDir -mustexist 1]
if {$dir == ""} {
return
} else {
set scidBooksDir $dir
}
}
setBooksDir
puts "scidBooksDir $scidBooksDir"
==========================
That is, even if the directory does not exist, the initial dir is set to the
working directory.

You'd better remove your settings (maybe a .scid directory somewhere ?).

Not strictly Scid related, I'm afraid. Strange option. Certainly a packaging
problem on MacOs.
