just wanted to bring this thread to the top. just upgraded tidal from 1.6.1 to 1.7.8 on windows 10 and am having the same issue. the path that points to the boottidal.hs file is throwing an error in atom and when i go into the tidal package settings to configure a new default boot path (using both methods of \ and \\) i am denied permissions
UPDATE: after (unsuccessfully) attempting to set a new boot tidal path in atom's package settings for tidal, the "default" setting now correctly identifies the location of my boottidal.hs file
[TidalCycles version 1.7.8]
Installed in C:\Users\kit_mauldin\AppData\Roaming\cabal\x86_64-windows-ghc-8.6.5\tidal-1.7.8
Listening for external controls on 127.0.0.1:6010
so that's cool. but now the issue appears to be that my default ghci path is not correctly set.
so i put a dummy path into the settings, rebooted tidal, and then removed the dummy path to see if i could force atom to find the "correct" location like it did with my boottidal file. it did not.
however, i did also notice that the syntax highlighting is a bit off what it should be. if i remember correctly, d1 should be highlighted blue, not purple.
my tidal package is up to date. is this a haskell package thing? there doesn't appear to be any windows support for uninstalling/cleaning up ghc in the docs
