"Owner" link takes me to the wrong location
In the Open/Save window, clicking "Owner" takes me to C:\Users\Owner\Documents instead of C:\Users\Owner.

Re: "Owner" link takes me to the wrong location
It does the same for me... it didn't do this on my old computer, which was Windows XP.
I am currently using Windows 7 Home Premium... I reckon it must be a Windows 7 based problem.

Happens to me to. No idea why, but if you open a file and use something from it and your still in scratch, it changes to opening that file, but the default is documents for some reason.

Re: "Owner" link takes me to the wrong location
Hang on - are Vista and OSX laid out so that "Pictures/Music/Videos/etc" are not inside "Documents", but inside the "Owner" folder, which also contains "documents"?
If so, I think that could be where the problem lies. On Windows XP, the "Owner" file and the "Documents" file are merged, as "Owner's Documents", which contains "Pictures/Music/Videos/etc". Perhaps Scratch assumes that this is true for all OSes, and so links to the documents folder because of that?

Re: "Owner" link takes me to the wrong location
I thought that was just a mistake in 1.4 cause it's been like that ever since I updated over a year ago.

But there is still a "Owner" on my computer, I use Windows XP.
I think the problem lies as some OS's do not have "Owner", Scratch thinks it is true for all OS's, but you can still access the "Owner" if you have one by starting from 'C:\', all the way to 'C:\Documents and Settings\Owner'.
