Demo version can't use path

adallas
Minor problem with the demo version: It looks for license/splash.xml relative to the current working directory, not relative to the directory where prince.exe was run. This means that the full path ("c:\Program Files\Prince\engine\bin") must be specified every time from the command line. It would be nice to be able to add "c:\Program Files\Prince\engine\bin" to the PATH.

It's hard to get excited about bugs that are so nearly feature requests and which only affect the free demo version. I understand.

Ah, this looks like a minor oversight that got carried over from the Linux version of Prince. On Linux, Prince gets called via a script that passes an explicit path; it might be possible for you to do the same thing on Windows using a batch file as a temporary workaround.

I'll see if we can fix this for you in the next maintenance release; thanks for raising the issue! :)

This issue should be fixed in Prince 5.1 rev 3.
