Title: relative paths
Post by: oceanwanderlust on November 29, 2018, 03:57:18 PM

I have a face as such:

Mouth-AI-EyesClosed="C:\Users\Joe\Desktop\CHRISTMAS\xlightsshows\DownloadedFaces\Reindeer\Reindeer_AI_eo.png"

When I try to use find and replace to make the path relative and sharable, the following two tries do not work:

Mouth-AI-EyesClosed="\DownloadedFaces\Reindeer\Reindeer_AI_eo.png"
Mouth-AI-EyesClosed="DownloadedFaces\Reindeer\Reindeer_AI_eo.png"

How do I make these paths relative so that I can share them easily?

You cant ... and dont need to.

As long as the files are in or under the show folder xLights is smart enough to update the file locations.

Then if you follow the PROPER import process the file locations are updated BEFORE you run the import.
