Bitmap relative path

[wxfbint]

Migrating this bug from the old bug tracker.

I have my source located in a directory called "Source", my final executable builds to a directory called "Bin", and images are found in "Bin/Data/Images"; this means that any paths in the automatically generated code look like "../Bin/Data/Icons/" due to it exporting the paths relative to the code export location.

This actually works ok providing that the executable is ALWAYS in a directory called "Bin", my suggestion would have been to have two paths, one for where you wanted the exported code to be sent (in my case "Source"), and another for your executables working directory (in my case "Bin"),

Then the exported code could use wxTheApp->GetPath() followed by the image location relative to the working directory set.

Example:
working path = Bin/
image path = Bin/Data/Images/add.png
Exported code: wxTheApp->GetPath() + wxT("/Data/Images/add.png")

I'm going to raise the priority of this if you don't mind. The original bug was raised over a year ago now, and this problem continues to cause me issues when working with images. I really can't imagine it being that hard to fix.

Bumping and raising priority again. Was this ever addressed?

Note that there are two other bugs about this same issue: 3142680, 3142799.
