Why do you so often write nonsense about things that you do not understand? Go trolling somewhere else.TI-994A wrote:In any case, when did you become the sheriff of the Feature Requests and Wishlists forum.

Why is it important for you to understand someone else's feature request? It's a matter for the dev team; not for you to scrutinise or criticise.Little John wrote:Why do you so often write nonsense about things that you do not understand? Go trolling somewhere else.
It seems that I understood it well enough.User_Russian wrote:Yes.TI-994A wrote:I'm assuming that you're proposing the addition of a pre-defined target for the executable, as is normally found in other programming IDEs, where debug and release folders are implemented.User_Russian wrote:I propose add the constants stored path to the compiled executable.

Your understanding is worth squat, but you're welcome!Little John wrote:Now I understand what you are after. Thank you.
Code: Select all
#releaseDirectory = "C:\folder_1\"
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Debugger
;Define configurationFiles_directory.s = #releaseDirectory ; use this like if the executible will reside in a specific directory
;Or using a directory relative to the source directory, even if the code is compiled to a temporary directory:
;Compiler settings// Compile/Run: Create temporary executable in the source directory
;Example assumes configuration files set in the parent folder of the source directory.
Define configurationFiles_directory.s = GetCurrentDirectory() + "..\"
CompilerElse
;The executable file is stored in a temporary location, but it will be executed with the
;current path set to the directory of the source code; so loading a file from the same
;directory as the source code will work.
Define configurationFiles_directory.s = GetCurrentDirectory() + "..\" ; or = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
CompilerEndIf
MessageRequester("configuration directory", configurationFiles_directory)@TI-994A: It's always good to have a worthwhile description, whether in code, written language or a picture. Little John merely asked for a little clarification. English is the language of this forum (for better or for worse). Its seems your rudeness about his grammar is not conducive to our international friends.TI-994A wrote:Little John wrote:

That please explain it more detailed (?), in understandable English.
But you still did not explain in detail how such a constant could help (in) solving the problem -- although I have asked repeatedly.
So how can a changing (changeable?) path be stored in the constant #PB_Compiler_ExecutableFile?
It's truly bad form to disparage the language aptitude of our international friends; especially when you are clearly no grammarian yourself, Herr LJ.
Easy there slugger, are you saying you're the sheriff in town? You sound more like someone in the peanut gallery.TI-994A wrote:In any case, when did you become the sheriff of the Feature Requests and Wishlists forum.
Yes, I wanted to understand User_Russian's feature request.TI-994A wrote:Why is it important for you to understand someone else's feature request?Little John wrote:Why do you so often write nonsense about things that you do not understand? Go trolling somewhere else.
On another computer, the path to source code may be other.Demivec wrote:#releaseDirectory = "C:\folder_1\"

Finally, something you could relate to. Enjoy!Little John wrote:Just leave me alone with your bullshit.
