how would you locate your current media folder, if your project is on a memory stick, and on every computer you use it, your stick got a different drive letter?
i would like to keep my editor on my memo stick, put the map files into the media folder and open them from there again.

in windows computer management / data storage management you can assign a drive letter.
(also bei systemsteuerung/verwaltung/computerverwaltung/datenspeicher/datenträgerverwaltung/..)

thanks markus. yes i know that, but i got the case that on different rigs the letters are occupied that are free on other machines. on our office rig for example there are drive letters up to "z" .
i would rather look for a dynamic solution, if its even possible...

you start the editor from stick,true?
this should return the exe path from editor
GetReadPath
then you need set the write folder, instead of appdata ..
SetRawWritePath

or a function FindStick and loop A-Z
CountWindowsDrives
GetWindowsDrive
GetFileExists
