Title: Request: Support relative paths in configuration
Post by: DesktopMan on September 15, 2013, 11:51:30 AM

Supporting relative paths would make it possible to have a completely portable setup of mGalaxy. This could then be synced with Dropbox etc.

Inserting relative paths in the configuration files manually currently crash mGalaxy.

Yep, relatives paths are really usefull but how make it possible with mGalaxy ?

If mGalaxy is in D:/mgalaxy/mGalaxy.exe and the emulator in E:/emul1/emul1.exe, what would be the relative path ?

To make it possible mGalaxy need to force the user to put the emulator in the same directory than mGalaxy.exe.

No it wouldn't have to force anything, only offer to store the relative path if the configured emu is on the same drive letter. I'd personally be happy if mGalaxy used relative paths properly if they are found in the config file :)
