Using a Mac, I've been trying to get Inquisit to save the data files in a subfolder, rather than in the folder where the script is located. I can get it to work with surveys like so:

<data>
/ file = "Data/"
</data>

Which saves the data file into the Data folder, but I can't seem to specify what the file should be called. So if I use

<data>
/ file = "Data/DataFile.iqdat"
</data>

It gives me an error saying that the file doesn't exist. Plus, when I try this approach on a more complex script like an IAT, replacing the default filename with "Data/" the data file does not save in the folder at all, just names the file "DataData_1_2014-03-07-22-35-20-723.iqdat". What am I doing wrong? There's precious little in the documentation about how to define a file path, especially on the Mac side.

Thanks!
