[SOLVED] Need help with setting file path

[Fizbin69]

I'm running a program in portable mode and in one of the settings I want to add a path to skin.jpg. I'd like to add a path something like this. ./themes/skins/skin.jpg BUT NOT like this... c:/portableprogram/themes/skins/skin.jpg. That way the portable program can locate that file from any directory or drive letter.

The problem is the prompt (dialog box or whatever it's called) can't be edited via cut and paste. (That includes the keyboard short cuts). I have to select the "..." button and manually locate the file. Once I select it, it enters the way I don't want it... c:/portableprogram/themes/skins/skin.jpg.

So I am unable to edit it to ./themes/skins/skin.jpg

Does anyone know of some directory hack I can do so I can get it to get the shortcut path I need?

Thanks

Ok, so you have a program specific issue, but don't include the program name in the text ?

So then let's guess - Right click and then paste ?

Yes: what program are you (@Fizbin69 ) working with?

Wondering about the slashes....

FYI:

What is needed is some way to find the desired file along with the path name to that file.

Powershell can do that - likely application of the Get-ChildItem cmdlet

Find the path, then cut and paste as suggested by @Grobe.

Still, more information would be helpful.....
