Problem with file path

[prasanth.tech]

Hi,

In the Installer, I have used absolute path to all files (there are around 260 files) which are added to installer. I have a requirement of using absolute path.

Today, when I changed the read-only attribute of one file. all the file paths are changed to relative path automatically in AIP file. I can see this change when taking file-diff with old version of AIP file using SVN. I don't want file path to be changed to relative. because, I may move this AIP file to other folder location in repo so that this relative path may cause issue.

I am using version 12.8.

Please let me me know how to resolve this.

Thanks,
Prasanth

Hello Prasanth,

Paths are stored (in AIP) by default as *relative* to the project file (AIP), if they reside on the same logical drive as the AIP.
Otherwise, they are stored in absolute form.

Check available options here:

Also, be aware, that if you use project app paths (symbolic variable paths), they may be subject to environment changes (dependent on the machine where you open the project) - this being the intended behavior.

Let me know if that helped.
