I get the following error message every time I start the kernel:
"SetOptions::optnf: NotebookDirectory is not a known option for $FrontEnd."
I seem to recall having found a way to fix this by changing the init.m, but
I can't remember what that was. It started with the maintanance release of
4.2. Does anybody know the fix for this problem? It seems to happen for
any parameter given to SetOptions[$FrontEnd,___]. That is, if I delete the
NotebookDirectory argument I get a similar error as follows:
"SetOptions::optnf: NotebooksMenu is not a known option for $FrontEnd."
This is the init.m, which is what Mathematica created without my
intervention:
SetOptions[$FrontEnd,
NotebookDirectory:>FrontEnd`FileName[{$RootDirectory, "home", "hattons", \
"code", "mma", "mma", "geometry"}, CharacterEncoding -> "iso8859-1"],
NotebooksMenu->{
"transforms.nb"->{
FrontEnd`FileName[{$RootDirectory, "home", "hattons", "code", "mma",
"mma",
"geometry"}, "transforms.nb", CharacterEncoding -> "iso8859-1"], True,
False, True},
"rotations.nb"->{
FrontEnd`FileName[{$RootDirectory, "home", "hattons", "code", "mma",
