Attempt to find game working directory #138

Excuse me, but I don't understand how may I execute the executable contained in the subdir considering this patch ? |
In the patch at that time, all you needed to do was simply run the GOG game by passing the absolute path then umu would change to the correct directory for you. As a result, you wouldn't need to worry about changing to any directory in your helper script or before running umu from the CLI. And long story short, this feature has been put on hold. ExplanationAfter some feedback from the team, it was determined that it wouldn't really be too useful for clients who are already in a position to change to the correct directory and it risks conflicting with the user's target directory set in the client. Since then, the direction of the patch has changed to only finding the correct directory for Steam games but that has also been put on hold too due to the uncertainty of whether to even support that use case. If this feature were to be added though, it'd probably be in the configuration file usage as it wouldn't get in the way of client apps, thus posing no risk. Also, it'd need to be really useful to those users. |
