FlashGot and relative paths

[MaxxSoft]

I use FF 3.5.3 Portable and Free Download Manager Portable on the USB Flash Drive and device drive latter can be various on the different computers.
Answer, please, it's possible to use relative paths in FlashGot settings?

FlashGot does not use any path for Free Download Manager integration.
A problem may be caused, though, if the temporary directory used by Firefox on one system is different from the one used on another system, since it gets persistently cached by FlashGot (that's a bug and will be fixed). If this is the case, you can check and work-around in FlashGot Options|Advanced.
Regarding custom DM definitions, their paths are automatically relocated provided that the portable app and the Firefox profile live in the same drive.

Excuse me, Giorgio, you want to say that if I put in the General page of the FlashGot setting for FDM Portable path H:\FDM\fdm.exe on the one computer (FF Portable is on the same USB Flash drive (H:)), it transforms on the other computer to T:\FDM\fdm.exe (if USB Flash drive letter becomes T:)?

Yes, it should. However the default FDM support doesn't rely on paths, but uses the registered COM interface (it should be registered by portable FDM on startup and unregistered on shutdown, IIRC).

And how it works if FDM isn't started, and I'll choose to download link FDM through FlashGot? Will FlashGot find path to FDM in this case on the other computer?

Nope, that's the downside of portable FDM browser integration (I guess it applies to IE as well).

Is a pity ... And I think it'll be wonderful, if in the setting of FlashGot will be possibility to introduce path %SOME ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE%\FDM\fdm.exe (or other DM) and in that case if I copy FF and FDM in the other location (with the same relative paths) or on the other drive FF will always find FDM (or other DM)...

P.S. Thank you for attention
