I'm running a program in portable mode and need to add a path to skin.jpg. I want it like this: ./themes/skins/skin.jpg. But not exactly like that... c:/portableprogram/themes/skins/skin.jpg. This way the portable program can find the file from any directory or drive letter. The issue is the prompt (dialog box) can't be edited via cut and paste—even with keyboard shortcuts. I have to click the "..." button and manually find the file. Once selected, it changes to what I don’t want: c:/portableprogram/themes/skins/skin.jpg. I’m stuck and need a directory trick so it gets the shortcut path I require. Anyone have any suggestions?

What program are you working with?
I'm curious about the slashes.
Here are some useful links:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/...th-formats
https://www.minitool.com/news/backslash-...slash.html
It seems we need a method to locate the file and its path together.
Powershell can handle this—probably using the Get-ChildItem command.
Finding the path first, then copying as suggested by @Grobe would work.
But more details would be helpful.

So then we assume it's a specific problem with the software, but don't mention the name of the program.
Let's try to infer from there.
So then let's guess - Right click and then paste?
