Relative file locations
« on: March 02, 2019, 11:02:43 AM »
Is it possible to have an "Option"  make log file locations relative to root of debug directory?


so instead of C:\advancedhmi\etc..........\debug\logfiles

we could use \logfiles

Then whatever device we run the Hmi from can have log files on it.  If we copy the run time debug directory to a drive outside the pc  or not on the current network we won't have to reconfigure the path.
I would want this as an option in the control config though for the log file location --  Relative or fixed. 

Maybe that is not practical and I would not want time invested in it just for me.

The ".\" designation specifies to point to the same directory as the executable file.

Ok good, then
          ".\logs"   would direct files to .......\RunTimedirectoryName\logs  right?
