Description Steve Daulton 2017-05-23 17:12:48 UTC

Running any script in the Nyquist Prompt that creates a GUI plug-in, generates error messages in the Audacity log. See steps to reproduce for an example.

The errors indicate that Audacity is attempting to access a file that does not exist.

Assigned to myself.

I tested the Steps on Win and Mac (also with legacy version 3 syntax) and also tested pasting the shipped High Pass Effect into Nyquist Prompt. No Log messages were seen.
