Description David Schleef 2008-08-21 05:57:12 UTC 
It is apparently common in the windows world to search for data files related to your program by looking at the directory that the program or DLL was loaded from.  The attached patch adds this behavior to add a directory to the search path for GStreamer plugins.

(Imagine that the patch has a comment stating what it does.)

Makes sense IMHO as this is the expected behaviour on Windows...
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2008-09-09 19:55:22 UTC 
Dave, did you want this in? Core freeze is coming up...
Comment 4 David Schleef 2008-09-09 20:21:15 UTC 
I have not tested it, and won't get the chance for at least a week.  It would be nice if someone else could test it and let us know if it works as expected.
