Summary: Search path on Windows for .manager files
Product: Telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: telepathy-glib
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
On Windows, telepathy-glib searches for .manager files in not so favorable
locations. A typical application like Spicebird would like to ship an
installer/zip that would sit in a directory containing all the data files and
telepathy library dlls. There should be a way for .data files to be found by
tp-glib.
Usually, Free Software ported from Unix like environments to Windows seem to do
this by getting the current dll path and then appending to it "share/APP/DATA".
This would be an ifdefed windows code.
I was wondering if we can have a way to add an additional search path to
tp-glib. This would be helpful for Spicebird like apps that ship as a tarball
(like Firefox) on Unixes and would look for tp-glib to pick up data files from
extracted directory.
