[Gambas-user] Using a relative file path for a WebView URL

[adamnt42 at ...626...]

I am trying to get a WebViewer control in a loaded library to display an html file stored inside the executable archive of a project using that library.
This appears to be not possible ... in the following the main project is calling the library form Run method with a relative path say "../help/html/index.html" (Note the use of the ../ to get the calling programs executable relative path!). The library code is as follows:

Public Sub Run (path As string)
	If Exist(path &/ "index.html") Then 
    	Debug path &/ "index.html exists"
    	wvwPage.URL = path &/ "index.html"
	Debug wvwPage.URL

FHSView.Run.10: ../help/html/index.html exists
FHSView.Run.13: file:///home/ksshare/gb3projects/Tools/help/html/index.html

>From the above debug output it appears that the WebView control is "subverting" the actual path back into an absolute path.
Any comments?

I think I can extract the entire help directory out of the calling program's executable into the /tmp dir, but I think that then I will have to edit every link in the pages to a path relative to the /tmp dir. Painful!

Has anyone got any better ideas?
