Plugin interface bug/weirdness

[HornetMaX]

Hi Piboso,

dibu just made me discover that when "compatibility=0" in core.ini, then the "char *_szSavePath" passed in the output plugin interface ("Startup" function) is empty.
This is a bit unexpected, maybe it should just be the path to gpbikes directory (something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\GP Bikes beta4b\gpbikes\").

I could code a terrible hack using GetModuleFileName(), but that would really suck ...

What does the plugin get calling "getcwd"?

I more or less solved the issue checking _szSavePath and when it's zero, use ".\\" instead.
Still, it's a bit of a dirty trick.

In theory, no hack should be needed: filepath = _szSavePath + filename
If _szSavePath is empty, the file should automatically be saved in the "gpbikes" directory in the installation folder.

For some reason, it doesn't seem to work. I'm using WritePrivateProfileString to write the .ini and:

• if gpb was not runned as admin, the file gets created in the correct directory but the function is unable to write in the file.
• if gpb was runned as admin, the file gets created in c:/windows

Maybe some microsoft quirk/overcomplicated stuff.

To work around the Microsoft functions, it is possible to use _getcwd if _szSavePath is empty.

Yeah, probably better than my ".\\" hack.
