Set working directory in CDT stand-alone debugger - how? [message #1822707]

Title says it all. I'm debugging a C program built elsewhere (Geany in my case) and it works fine except I need to tell the debugger what working directory to use - it is defaulting to the directory where the CDT debugger is installed, and thus the debug run is not seeing any of the local files that my app opens and uses. I can't find a place to set this anywhere. Has anyone had any luck doing this with the CDT stand-alone debugger? Many thanks in advance for helpful replies. The debugger otherwise looks and works great, thanks to everyone for that.

Let me answer my own question for those that need this:

Run -> Run Configurations -> < select your program> -> Arguments tab -> set working directory at bottom of this tab.

This is for the CDT stand-alone debugger only.
