[Portable Mode] Reference files (i.e. images) near settings.json

[carlos-zamora]

Prior to portable mode, a common heuristic to reference images would be to use ms-appdata:///Local. However, portable mode promises a terminal that is essentially fully encapsulated in a separate folder (i.e. a flash drive). There should be a way to reliably reference images and files in that flash drive.

The issue at hand is that the flash drive may not be reliably set as the D: drive.

For example, I have the following json in a profile:

                "backgroundImage": "ms-appdata:///Local/ubuntu_bg.png",

If the terminal is in portable mode, (I suspect) this won't work.

Ideally, I could store ubuntu_bg.png in the settings folder (next to the settings.json file).

ms-appx:/// resolves to where the wt.exe is stored. So ms-appx:///settings/foo.png should work!
