Newbie, of course..

I want to rightclick some picture in Windows Explorer, choose "Resize" action (which I added there) thus starting console application that will, obviously, resize the pic.
I made the app and it works.

But the problem is how do I get the full path of the picture. I do get the name of the file (args[0]), but I dont know how to get the path.

Another thing: is there any way I could hide the (annoying) console window which appears when I call the application?

Thanks in advance

Maybe windows can also pass you the "working directory". I've never written anything like what you are doing so I don't know.

Regarding the annoying console window... Can you make the app a windows form app that doesn't display a form? Then it will probably just run and exit without anything displayed.

I hoped there was a better solution..
