#575 Relative paths in portable version

[Dirk]

Hallo TeXstudio,

I am using the portable version of TeXstudio and sync it between different computers using cloud storage. I use different paths on these computers, because of their local characteristics.
This results in a little problem: The directory paths in the options are not relative (eg.: path to the dictionary). Hence, on another computer the dictionary is not found, because the path does note exist.

Is it possible to change this to a relative path if the directories are subdirectories of the TeXstudio directory?

Thank you in advance and kind regards
Dirk

Sorry, relative paths are currently not supported. You could try to create a filesystem link on each computer in the same position (if that's possible for you) and redirect to different folders.

Hallo Tim,

I know, hence the feature request.
Thanks for the hint to symlinks, I found an article on wikipedia and will install it like this.

All best
Dirk

You can now include [txs-app-dir] and [txs-settings-dir] in the dictionary path (which resolves to the same location in case of the portable version). A standard dictionary path would hence be [txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries. It's now also possible to specify multiple paths by separating them with a semicolon.
