I have copied the link path directly using “Copy Project Path”.

Actually, it seems to persist

ERROR:SCRIPT: /main/mainmenu.script:30: The resource was not found (-3): 3261457619042580791,     /assets/audio/startup.wav
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'load'
	/main/mainmenu.script:30: in function </main/mainmenu.script:23>
Registered luasec Extension

clicking on the exact same file path in the Defold console error opens the file in Finder

Can you please zip up an example of this problem so that we can take a look?
