mindstormer Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I enabled the portable version of ImgBurn via command line (as recommended by some users a few years ago). Under Settings > File Location, I am not able to specify relative paths (every time I go on a different computer, the absolute path of the folders I've chosen such as D:\ImgBurnTemp is created and used), regardless of where the portable version of ImgBurn is. I want to store all ImgBurn-related files within the external hard drive the application is in. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 You probably need to edit the settings ini file directly for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindstormer Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I entered the relative paths in the ini file (ex. \ImgBurn) and ImgBurn would recognize the paths at first launch, but when the HDD is assigned to a different letter, the paths remain the same (not pointing to the external hard drive). I noticed that the Language directory points correctly to the folder of where the application directory is (even if the folder is moved to a different drive), just need the rest of the paths that ImgBurn uses to support relative pathing.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I don't really understand. If your path in the ini is relative (and assuming it never gets overwritten), I don't see how it would know to point to any previous drive letter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindstormer Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 In the ini file, I specify: FILELOCATIONS_GraphDataFiles= \GraphDataFiles <- relative path When I run ImgBurn, the application detects what drive ImgBurn is on--if it is on F, it becomes F:\GraphDataFiles. When I open the ini file again after closing ImgBurn, it is no longer FILELOCATIONS_GraphDataFiles= \GraphDataFiles and is now: FILELOCATIONS_GraphDataFiles=F:\GraphDataFiles <- absolute path Thus when I copy ImgBurn to a drive assigned to a different letter, it still uses F:\GraphDataFiles, not the relative path I specified earlier.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Is the ini file configured to run it in portable mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindstormer Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yes. PortableMode=1 It's not that big of a deal to be honest--just don't want to create/leave behind unnecessary folders/files on someone else's computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
