2646	How to find where OMEdit searches files	massimo ceraolo	Adeel Asghar	"When we use  Modelica.Blocks.Sources.CombiTable with tableOnFile=true, we load data from a file.
We can choose between full pathname and name without path.
I prefer name without path.

Now the first question is: ''how the user understands where to put his files so that OMEdit can read it''?
I remember sjoelund.se once told me which it is but I don't remember, and however the ordinary OM user should not be obliged to rely on the kind help from the forum for such things.
I've checked that this place is not the so-called ""working directory"" as set in OMEdit options. 


Moreover the error message OMEdit displays does not tell us where it has searched for files. In my case, in which the file requested is myFile.txt and my package is EVQSPkg.mo, I got the message:

[C:\Users\ceraolo\Dropbox\Modelica\DymolaVEI\DymolaPE\BatEV\EVQSPkg.mo:16:41-16:66] Error: Variable Sort1.txt not found in scope EVQSPkg.EVbasic.

So the second question is:  ''can the error message be enhanced so that it indicates in which directory the program looked for the file that was unable to find?''

and, finally: ''maybe it is advisable to add some control that enables the user to specify this directory?''
