st: Relative Paths in Stata 12

[Conor Hughes <conorbhughes@gmail.com>]

Hello All,
Recently I've been trying to  work on a project I originally began in
Stata 10 on Mac OS. I'm now running Stata 12 (also on Mac), and
finding that my relative paths aren't working as they were previously.
For example, running a do file containing:

clear all
cap log close
log using "./example.log", replace

Previously, the "./" was evaluated as the directory of the do file
that was running. Now when I try to run it, it just goes to the
current working directory. The same happens when using "../", for
example -insheet using "../import/raw.txt", clear-. Has anyone run
into issues like this before? There will eventually be a number of
people working on this out of a shared folder, so it would be
preferable not to have to edit the working directory manually every
time a new user goes to run something.

Thanks, and have a great day,
Conor
