Run feature Notepad++

I Noticed in Notepad++ that there is a run feature. Well I wanted to make it launch MakeNSIS.exe in my NSIS portable folder. Is there a way to make it so that it will find the exe when the drive letter changes?

It Will

Try before you ask. The Notepad++ Portable launcher updates the settings file with the current drive letter, so you should be fine. If not, just use a relative path.

Automatic

As with many things here, it's automatic. The launcher will update it for you Smile

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Did some experimenting

John there is problem with your switching. It does not move the drive letter over on the run commands. The path to the executable that you want to run is stored in (when notepad++ is not runing) Notepad++Portable\Data\settings\shortcuts.xml. It stores the full path there and then your switcher thing doesn't do the switch.

Edit: I've ran notepad++ two times on this computer in which the my drive letter is E: and the .ini in the same settings directory continues to say last drive J:
