Run livecode apps from UNC path.

Post by zaxos » Mon Jan 12, 2015 5:02 am

If i understand correct this is a known bug, when you run a compiled app from a unc path(or even a mapped drive) livecode engine fails to find externals. Is this planned to be fixed soon?

Hi,

Do you have a link to the bug report? That might clarify what exactly you're talking about.

Are you sure that relative paths to externals won't work?

Kind regards,

Hi Mark.
If you run a compiled executable from a unc path e.x \\server\storage\test.exe the program fails to find externals, i can tell that becose if for example my program uses database externals it fails to load them, same with maped drives.
By the way i remember i saw this somewhere as a known bug... cant remember where
