      Hi guys,

      I am trying to organise my plugins folder. As a result of this I have moved the location of some cursor files into a subfolder. Hence the code snipet below is no longer valid.

      
       c = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "clinetool_cursor.png")
       ltcursor = UI;;create_cursor(c, 1, 30)
      
      

      The cursor file is now stored in a folder with this path: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\CBG'
      How can I adapt the code to the new path?

      My thoughts were:

      
      c = File.join(File.dirname("/CBG"),"clinetool_cursor.png")
      ltcursor = UI;;create_cursor(c, 1, 30)
      
      

      Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am sure the solution is very simple!

      Ross

        Initial / at the beginning of a path means the root of the harddrive.

        To correct it:
        c = File.join( File.dirname(__FILE__), 'CBG', 'clinetool_cursor.png' )
