I’ve written about it here typical/working command line inputs for MGCB?
What i want:
read a file from an absolute path and output the processed files in a output folder.
What happens:
If the absolute path of the source is on a different partition the generated .xnb file will be in the source folder
If the absolute path of the source is on the same partition the generated .xnb file will be in some new folder which, and now comes the great part, will generate a new folder somewhere above the working directory with a relative path from the last path that working and source directory share. I thought i was going crazy.
Example:
My program executes from here:
C:\Users\Me\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\HelperSuite\HelperSuite\bin\Windows\x86\Debug
if I process the file
C:\Users\Me\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\DeferredCascadedShadowMaps\GameThumbnail.png
The resulting processed file will be created here
C:\Users\Me\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\HelperSuite\HelperSuite\bin\DeferredCascadedShadowMaps\GameThumbnail.xnb
