Declaration [src]

gchar*
gimp_config_build_data_path (
  const gchar* name

Description [src]

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by gimp_config_build_data_path() includes a directory below the user’s gimp directory and one in the system-wide data directory.

Note that you cannot use this path directly with gimp_path_parse(). As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using gimp_config_path_expand().
