Programming and make it possible for

HERE FOR THE SOLUTION |
 When you program in NXT the programs store various
relationships between elements,
particularly MyBlocks, as Windows paths
like this: "C:\ Documents and
Settings\John Doe\My Documents\My
Pictures" However, you do not have
access to these stored paths so if you
do a complex program, and then try to
open it from a back up on another
computer, all the paths are wrong and
the program fails you you have to
painstakingly re-link everything. Move
the files from one computer to another,
open in a different user account, and
everything breaks and even attempts to
re-link file often doesn't work. |
