Relative Paths to launch apps

[sl23]

I actually tried searching for this but only got web parser results.

I just wanted to know if RM supports Relative Paths or not?

RM is installed here:
D:\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\Rainmeter4_(x64)_sps

But I tried the traditional method of launching Waterfox using this:
LeftMouseUpAction=["..\MyApps\WaterfoxPortable\WaterfoxPortable.exe"]

Paths in Rainmeter will be relative to the skin .ini file they are executed from, not from the installation folder for the Rainmeter application.

So they are relative to #CURRENTPATH#.

You might want to use a more specific path:

LeftMouseUpAction=["#PROGRAMPATH#..\MyApps\WaterfoxPortable\WaterfoxPortable.exe"]


https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/built-in-variables/#PROGRAMPATH

This will start at #PROGRAMPATH# for Rainmeter, then march "up" (..) one level, and "down" into MyApps and so forth to find the executable.

This assumes, based on what you posted, that WaterfoxPortable.exe is at:

D:\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\MyApps\WaterfoxPortable\WaterfoxPortable.exe
