When i run my project with the "Run main project" mode, my program writes the .txt file to my /home directory. I found this extremely odd, so I ran the program with "Debug main project" mode and it wrote the .txt file to the project directory. Is there a setting in options that will fix this so both modes will write the file to the project directory?
I have tried to make new projects with the same results
Most C++ projects in Netbeans have a Debug and Release configuration. Both of these may have different settings for running the program and should be checked to see if one of them specifies a "run directory".
If you right click on the root of the project tree and select properties, you will notice a drop-down at the top for "Configuration" that will allow you two switch between the two groups of settings.
