Subject: Re: [Vala] Getting path to my program's directory
Can you read the documentation? It is there for something, in case
of doubt there's always the source code and then the irc.
GtkFileChooser opens in curdir.. So it works if you do ./foo. There
are functions in glib that may help to do it. Just parse argv0 or
even better, just use glib
http://references.valadoc.org/glib-2.0.html
See glib.environment namespace
Are you serious about opening dialogs to get a string representing
the path to the program? I can't believe it srsly

Hi guys.
I need to execute some program which is located in my program's

Is there any API to get the path to my program's directory?
Thanks.
I found an unlikely solution that works for me, although it
requires Gtk
(so it's not Vala specific—can we answer seemingly Vala-specific
questions with non-Vala-specific answers here?)
• Make a Gtk.FileChooserDialog
• Call its get_current_folder method (it's your program directory
by
default, or at least it's mine on Ubuntu 9.10—it'd be nice to know
if it
worked on other operating systems, too, though.
