Spotted this @ donationcoder forums a while ago & been meaning to repost it here.
May be helpful if you want to work with relative paths
NOTE: I havent used it (I've no Relative Paths needs at the moment) so just throwing it out here as a suggestion that possibly could be helpful with IQ
[quote]ReplaceAbsolutePaths (RAP) - a small app for the portable-software-lovers out there, to maybe make their lives just a little easier...
From the (admittedly long) readme:
"I was testing a program for portability recently and discovered that, although it could be portable, the process required a fair amount of manual editing of text-based settings files, converting absolute paths to relative ones. This is also the case in many program launchers such as Executor, SlickRun, or Launchy, as well as other software like MetaPath or QuickWayToFolders."
"Sometimes if a file is 'buried' in enough levels of folders and subfolders, it can get confusing how many '..\' to use."
"Basically, this program [RAP] has two general functions: calculating a relative path when given two absolute ones, and offering to replace any instances of an absolute path with the newly calculated relative one within a particular text-based settings file."
RAP should probably be considered still in beta... The first attachment at the bottom of this post is version 0.8.9, complete with a Readme. [/quote]
