Today after using WW for a while I experienced a strange thing I've never seen before. After getting the following warning when compiling a model:

I checked the QC file, here's what I saw:

That's strange, because:

Try explicitly setting a model path for this WWMT.

Further, set an explicit default model path in the global settings. It may be that one isn't actually chosen as a default path.

Yeah, seems like the UI is just fooling me once again.

At this point, I suggest saving your global WW settings now that you set a default path, restarting Max, and hopefully the messages will go away.

In any event, I will update the UI to be unambiguous here.
