Declaration
void
g_application_set_resource_base_path (
GApplication* application,
const gchar* resource_path
)
Description
Sets (or unsets) the base resource path of application.
The path is used to automatically load various [application resources][gresource] such as menu layouts and action descriptions. The various types of resources will be found at fixed names relative to the given base path.
By default, the resource base path is determined from the application
ID by prefixing ‘/’ and replacing each ‘.’ with ‘/’. This is done at
the time that the GApplication object is constructed. Changes to
the application ID after that point will not have an impact on the
resource base path.
As an example, if the application has an ID of “org.example.app” then
the default resource base path will be “/org/example/app”. If this
is a GtkApplication (and you have not manually changed the path)
then Gtk will then search for the menus of the application at “/org/example/app/gtk/menus.ui”.
See GResource for more information about adding resources to your application.
You can disable automatic resource loading functionality by setting
the path to NULL.
Changing the resource base path once the application is running is
not recommended. The point at which the resource path is consulted
for forming paths for various purposes is unspecified. When writing
a sub-class of GApplication you should either set the
GApplication:resource-base-path property at construction time, or call
this function during the instance initialization. Alternatively, you
can call this function in the GApplicationClass.startup virtual function,
before chaining up to the parent implementation.
