I thought it would be wise to move this from the mailing list to the issues list so it is not forgotten.

Opening files from the command-line is broken for me now. The OpenSCAD editor is empty instead of being populated with the file. It must have been in one of the last few commits because I know it was working recently. Maybe all that boost filesystem stuff broke it? My tests are on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

I noticed this in the console:
Failed to open file: /media/code/openscad-master/home/brad/Downloads/shell.scad (No such file or directory)

It appears to be appending the path I call openscad from (/media/code/openscad-master) to the path of the file (/home/brad/Downloads/shell.scad)

The combo path does not exist.
