I am building a plugin that lets you manage all texture files loaded into the project.
Revit saves these paths in various ways. Some paths are saved as absolute paths, but when a path is relative or broken, Revit also checks in a number of user-defined folders (so called "additional render appearance paths", saved in the Revit.ini).
I've successfully extracted these paths from the Revit.ini, but am realizing they are saved as a relative path. For example, this is how that line in my Revit ini looks:
AdditionalRenderAppearancePaths=..\..\..\Users\PSCHIETTECATTE\Desktop\test folder1\|..\..\..\Users\PSCHIETTECATTE\Desktop\test folder2\|..\..\..\temp\
The paths seem to be relative to the Revit.exe.
Does anyone know of a reliable way to convert these to absolute paths. Would I need to read the registry for the Revit.exe location? Or is there a simpler way?
