Support Inklecate path configuration for multiple developers

[BenjaminLawson]

Currently, the inklecate settings path is shared by all developers for the same project. This is not viable because different developers have different paths to their inklecate binary.

Inkgd solves this by writing the binary paths to a config file that can be kept out of version control: https://github.com/ephread/inkgd#editor

If OS.execute supported relative or res:// paths this could also be solved by putting inklecate right in the project directory. Alas, it does not seem to.

Are there any viable workarounds?

Hey @BenjaminLawson, sorry I did not answer earlier.
I'm still thinking about what would be the best viable solution for this, this is a pretty big and important issue. I don't really like the idea of not using the proper Godot settings and making a separate configuration file though.
At the moment, I pushed a workaround in acea307. Like you suggested in your last comment, the setting is now relative to res:// so everything should at least be usable. I'm not a fan of not permitting to have inklecate outside the project's folder but it'll do for now. This change will be part of the next release.

We have the same issue on our project, and since we have developers using Mac and Windows, this solution helps a little but does not solve all problems (since the inklecate binary is not the same for windows and mac)

I think i'll fork the plugin and have two distinct inklecate path properties : "inklecate-mac" and "inklecate-windows", both relative to res:// so we can version them and avoid conflicts.

Humpf, I didn’t think about that either (seems like I don’t think much these days). If you want to open a PR with what you’re suggesting I’m open to merging it. I feels it is a decent temporary solution while I (or more probably someone else) come up with a really good way of handling this.

As of dde8c31, the setting can be overridden from a file that can be excluded from VCS. This will be available in 0.10.
