Running in portable mode, specifying the screenshots dir

Hi there.
I'm a longtime user of Screenshot Captor, I'd firstly just like to say thanks for an excellent piece of software.

I've started using PortableApps and have got ScreenshotCaptor running off my USB stick fine (thanks to the PORTABLE=TRUE setting!)
PortableApps has a specific directory structure on the USB drive e.g.
\Documents
\Documents\Pictures
\PortableApps
\PortableApps\ScreenshotCaptorPortable

I'd like to set Screenshot Captor to save it's screens in the \Documents\Pictures directory, but I can't put the drive letter in the setting (FolderPathEdit.Text) as the drive letter could change!
I've tried ..\..\Documents\Pictures and %appdir%\..\..\Documents\Pictures neither of which it was happy with.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

Thanks!
Ben

Hi Joyrex --

I apologize for the delay in responding, last couple of weeks have been hectic.

Ok so what you are wanting to do *SHOULD* be easy.. but i see now from looking at the code that it's not, and that currently the program insists on the Screenshots folder being located either in an absolute location or a directory under the config directory.

I already have a fix for the issue and i just need to upload a new version for you -- let me just get a few more updates in this version before i upload in the next day or two.

JoyrexJ9:
Thanks for the response!
I'm a coder myself so I appreciate these issues which "should be easy but aren't" !  ;D

No rush, just glad it's being looked at and I await the next release with interest!

Thanks

Hey mouser,

I've been trying to do the same thing as the OP, namely using paths like \Temp\Screenshots or ..\..\Temp\Screenshots.

As this post is already quite old and I am still getting error messages using the above paths, I assume the fix never made it in an update ... or am I missing something / doing something wrong?

mouser:
ok ive put this to the top of my list, should have new version this week with the ability to specify relative paths and use environment paths in screenshot folder specification.
