Manage relative path in recent items about vbasync HOT 5 CLOSED

Okay, so let's say you have the .exe in D:\VBASync\. I think it shouldn't be too hard for me to detect and use a relative path for D:\VBASync\session.ini or D:\VBASync\Sessions\session2.ini. It would be harder to detect and use a relative path for D:\VBASync Sessions\session3.ini, and that also seems like a much more niche request. How about I cover the first two scenarios, but not the third? Would that still be just as useful?

For immediate use, the first 2 scenario should be enough. However, I think you could consider something like this :

1. Test the path as absolute path

2. Test the path as relative path using code like this var absolute_path = Path.Combine([ApplicationFolder], "..\images\image.jpg"); (picked from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4796254/relative-path-to-absolute-path-in-c). I think this already covers all tricky cases about relative paths.

3. if the 2 failed, then the file couldn't be found and should be ignored (or deleted?, see next)

I can't decide in this case if that would be smart to automatically delete the path from the recent item list. Maybe you could use the same behavior as Visual Studio, that is check if the file exists only if the user try to load the file, and if the file can't be found, ask if the user want to delet the entry.

I didn't test the code myself, but as this is in .Net main code, that should work ^^

from vbasync.

Sorry for being "late", I had Internet access problem recently. I tested that new version. Apart from the french resource file that I updated (see corresponding discussion), everything seems OK as far as I remember. I think that as far as I'm concerned, version 1.3.0 is ready for release.
