You wan to use the Nasal resolvepath() function, again like the GUi selector we don’t want people doing manual path handling in Nasal because it often gets weird with non-Latin paths.

resolvepath() takes a path ‘tail’ and tries it against each aircraft/data path in turn until it finds a match, then gives back the resolved absolute path to what it found.

	eg resolvepath(“Liveries/c172p/livery-foobar.xml”)

.. might give you back
