Converting paths to absolute paths or "local" paths
---------------------------------------------------
You can use :ref:`ProjectSettings.globalize_path() <class_ProjectSettings_method_globalize_path>`
to convert a "local" path like ``res://path/to/file.txt`` to an absolute OS path.
For example, :ref:`ProjectSettings.globalize_path() <class_ProjectSettings_method_globalize_path>`
can be used to open "local" paths in the OS file manager
using :ref:`OS.shell_open() <class_OS_method_shell_open>` since it only accepts
native OS paths.
To convert an absolute OS path to a "local" path starting with ``res://``, use
:ref:`ProjectSettings.localize_path() <class_ProjectSettings_method_localize_path>`.
