Then I could launch this app_name.exe, it will refer the app_name.shim path as a relative to the drive where this exe is located, so any drive change name will be ignored
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual rename of the paths, but that's tedious / doesn't survive udpates. Lnk files as far as I know don't support any relative paths
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to launch scoop apps from a drive that might have a different drive letter depending on a system it's used in
Describe the solution you'd like
Make the
app_name.shim
record relative pathspath = "\App\scoop\apps\app_name\current\app_name.exe"
instead ofpath = "D:\App\scoop\apps\app_name\current\app_name.exe"
Then I could launch this
app_name.exe
, it will refer theapp_name.shim
path as a relative to the drive where this exe is located, so any drive change name will be ignoredDescribe alternatives you've considered

There is a similar issue, but think it only covers the
.ps1
files, not the.shim
files that the exe shims use https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/issues/427
