Description

Dear ScummVM team!

It would be very nice if that could be fixed, as ScummVM is otherwise really good to use in the CommandLine.

Situation: scummvm.exe is in C:\Programme\ScummVM\ I am eg in X:\

This is what I get when running it from X:\

X:\>C:\Programme\ScummVM\scummvm.exe WARNING: Can not find theme config file 'modern.ini'! WARNING: Could not initialize your preferred theme, falling back to classic style!

Please, make it possible to start in new GUI without any additional settings/parameters.

Thanks,

Joachim

Where is the modern theme located in this case?

I assume you want ScummVM to check the directory where 'scummvm.exe' is located, when searching for the theme?

We do have a "themepath" setting, though there currently isn't any GUI for changing it. Perhaps the simplest way would be to add that?

comment:3 by eriktorbjorn, 18 years ago

I'm attaching a (not very well tested) patch to add a global theme path option, to show what I mean.

I quote Kirben here:

In the path were scummvm.exe resides.

Yes.

Please make it possible to start ScummVM from another directory, without the need of specifying anything, if possible.

In addition, of course, a theme-path option would also be nice.

But my main-concern is running it in new GUI without any options from CMD, when running it from a different directory, e.g. always search for the themes in the directory where scummvm.exe is located first.

Thanks

Joachim

Moving to feature requests, as this isn't a bug.

I expect changes would be required in file system backends, to get the correct directory for the executable file (scummvm.exe) on all platforms.
