Using Dir.chdir() I have no problem changing to directories created by my rails application, however, I can't get it to change to a directory that I made. I tried adding "config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/public/my_new_folder" to my environment.rb file, but it didn't work. When should I be using config.load_paths? Any ideas?
