No big hurry. PBW being down has limited my need for this. I just thought I would try to help point out possible bugs.

But knowing how it works now I can change my directory system no problem. But I imagine everyones system will be different so maybe a way to make it work with all would be nice.

Perhaps if there is a way to make the program check 2 \'s back from the thisgame.gam file name. So in my case it would check "C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires IV Gold\DevnullModGold\Savegame\MOMI.gam"
but it would check the path backwards. I don't know if that is very clear or even if it would work.

I was thinking of taking the most right part of the path to the selected mod and subtract the left that equals the length of the selected SE4.exe path +8 letters,( subtract the rightmost /Savegame/and gamename length that should fix it for everyone.

God geo, thanks for letting me know. I had no way of trying it on a NT machine tonight.
