Hi arthur,
I thought of a similar solution (not overloading the path to me, but
intercepting the call inside a larger handler which defines the location of
resource and results folders for my application). I have tried detecting the
failed path to me and asking the user to locate the file, and I have tried
placing hard coding in. Both of these cause endless support calls when
something works wrong, or, worse, keeps on working, but giving a false path
(as happens with hard coded paths).
