[Kst] Path to Kst executable

[Ben Lewis]

Kst,

I'm having a number of problems with Kst which are possibly related to each other.

Symptom1
-------------
When I try to open a recent kst file from the File menu I get the following error:

Error opening document:
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/kstFile.kst'
File could not be opened for reading.

where C:/kstFile.kst' is the path to the kst file I'm trying to open.

After every unsuccessful attempt to load the file the text in the titlebar appends the path to the 
Kst executable in front of the file name. So, for example, after three attempts the text in the 
title bar will look like this:

'C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 
2.0.7/C:/kstFile.kst'

I also see the path to the Kst executable added to the kst file name in other places like the Data 
Wizard and the Change Data File Dialog box.


Symptom 2
--------------
Whenever I try to load/change or generally work with a data file the dialogue box freezes for a long 
time (10 - 20 sec).

It's like Kst hangs on every file operation because it can't find the file it's looking for (because 
it has the path to the executable added to it) and eventually it gives up.

Environment
----------------
Kst 2.0.7
Windows7 x64

What I've tried
------------------
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Uninstalling 2.0.7 and reinstalling 2.0.6
Registry clean

Nothing has worked.

I haven't always had this problem but I don't know when it crept in.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Regards, Ben
