I think it's clearer to write that you need "the full path" of your
file, rather than "the directory".

Having to write the full path into the unsaved source has the effect
of emphasising that these subsidiary files are compiled/included from
the *filesystem*. Having F~ handle all this automatically might leave
users with an impression that F~ is cleverer than it is, that it can
compile unsaved versions of included files (which I am led to believe
it can't).

I missed seeing another error reported.

I see lots of "1.8.7" in the OP's output. Is that wrong?
