Stephen, I’ve noticed this, too, and reported it. See bug #14435 at http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14435. The last status update from the engineering team indicated that it is “AWAITING_BUILD”. It may help for you to add your comments to this bug. I think the reason that it doesn’t crop up more may be that most people tend set the filepath of a player object as an absolute, rather than a relative, filepath. That is what I do most of the time, but on occasion I’ll just set the defaultFolder then set the filepath of the player to a relative path. The latter thing is what stopped working in 6.7 and later. I haven’t seen the fix come through yet, although I admit I have yet to download and test the latest 6.7.4 and 7.0.4 RC releases.
