SkinUtilities.FullActiveSkinPath

[McBainUK]

SkinUtilities.FullActiveSkinPath returns: "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\.\skin\Blue\"

What's with the dot between gbpvr and skin?

[McBainUK]

Bump. Anyone?

[psycik]

Probably because of this:

Code:

<RootSkinDirectory>.\skin\</RootSkinDirectory>

In the config.xml file.....but I'm guessing.

SkinUtilities.FullActiveSkinPath returns: "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\.\skin\Blue\"

What's with the dot between gbpvr and skin?

Its a concatenation of InstallPath and SkinPath returned by core gbpvr functions.

"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\" + ".\skin\Blue\"

(I don't have any reference material handy else I would be more specific)

Is this something of mine? or something other library? The name didnt sound familar to me.

PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetSkinRootDirectory()
returns ".\skin\Blue\", which is annoying when trying to find the full path as:

Path.Combine( PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory()
returns "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\"

So when you Path.Combine() them you get: "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\.\skin\Blue\" which dosn't exist.

Yes, thats correct.

which is annoying when trying to find the full path as:

Path.Combine( PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDi rectory()
returns "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\"

So when you Path.Combine() them you get: "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\.\skin\Blue\" which dosn't exist.

So the problem is in your code where you're doing a Path.Combine()? I'd suggest the best fix is changing your code, finding some alternative instead of Path.Combine(). I'd prefer not change my code since its been this way for a couple of years, and there is bound be a plugin or two that will break if I change it.

Yeah I've sorted it in my code.

I just expected GetSkinRootDirectory() to return the full path. Thought I would bring it up it in case it was a bug.

Actually, it does exist. There is not a problem with this pathname. The "." refers to the current directory and is relative, when used in a full path like this, it acts like a NOP.

Try getting a directory listing of the path (without the final backslash) from the command line, it should work fine.
