Relative paths in scummvm.ini

[silentheaven83]

Hi everybody,

first post here, I hope it's not a dumb question.

I have two copies of ScummVM in a network shared folder, one for Windows and one for Mac, each one with its own scummvm.ini in the same directory of the executable.
Now, I know that if I write

Code: Select all

./

in the scummvm.ini I'm referring to the ScummVm folder, but what if I have to get up to one folder?

Code: Select all

./../

doesn't work.
Is there a way?

Thank you!

Hi there, welcome to our community!

I'm afraid that this won't be easily possible since macOS and Windows use different path formats. Have you tried using

Code: Select all

../

?

EDIT: Another option would be to prepare two different scummvm.ini files and launch ScummVM using this config file by passing the

Code: Select all

--config=scummvm.ini

parameter at startup.

All the best

Thank you for the response.
Yes I have a shortcut in each of the ScummVm folder that uses the -c parameter to load a scummvm.ini in the same folder.

I have a directory structure like this:

Code: Select all

/Games/
/Saves/
/ScummVM Win/ <-- inside there are the .exe and its scummvm.ini
/ScummVM Mac/ <--- inside there are the .app and its scummvm.ini

So in the scummvm.ini (for eg. the Mac one) I would like to specify:

Code: Select all

savepath=../Saves
