#369 Changing active directory when debugging

[Koshmaar]

Hi

(I'm not sure whether it's bug or feature request, but
I placed it here because it would be really strange if
nobody has encountered it yet.)

It is quite simple: when you normaly run your
application without debugging features, built
executable is run, which is placed at directory X (let
it be bin/ or sth else, it doesn't matter really).

BUT - if you want to debug your app using DevCpp, IDE
won't run it from the directory X (where it is normaly
built into), but from directory Y - which is exactly
the place where .dev file is stored.

Problem is, that (at least in my case) I have many
resources which app should be using, and I'm using
relative paths to access them (ie. Gfx/Foo/foo.png),
which in debugging mode simply aren't working... :-(

So, if this isn't very complicated thing that only from
outside looks simple (maybe it had to be done this way
because of sth, dunno), I would be very gratefull for
including in the next version of DevCpp one little
checkbox: "Don't change active directory when debugging".

Thanks in advance! Keep up the good job :-).

Well... this bug has been posted more than half a year
ago, and there were no comments from DevCpp team.

So I'm curious, whether anyone has done anything to solve it?

Or just say that you won't be doing this, so I'll know what
to do.
