I don't know about any other back-ends, but the wx FileDialog has an option to change the working dir when the user selects a file I also don't know if this flag is set in the MPL code, but it shouldn't be. > Søren Nielsen wrote: >> my program can >> no longer locate the icons (used in my GUI) that I am using in my >> .\ressources directory.

I'd say yes, but it's also an error in the design of your code -- as you've discovered, the working dir is a tenuous concept -- you should set that resources dir in your code start-up and keep it around for when you need it. wxPython has wx.StandardPaths which can be helpful for finding your aps data, etc -- I'm sure the other toolkits have something, too. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chr...@no... |
