It would be useful if the path of the Open Project folder could be

determined from within a ULP.

Such a command should reveal the path of the Open project. If none is open

This would enable ULP code efficiencies when determining the folders used

You CAN investigate name memer of the board and schematic. "The name member

returns the full file name, including the directory.".

I dont know if that reflects the output folder, but it might.

that easily and the full path is provided.

Its the path to the Open Project I need, which is not necessarily the same

as the open board as you can open any board. You are not limited to the open

Project folder.

I also need to know when there is no project open.
