Converts a localized path ([code]res://[/code]) to a full native OS path.
Returns the absolute, native OS path corresponding to the localized [code]path[/code] (starting with [code]res://[/code] or [code]user://[/code]). The returned path will vary depending on the operating system and user preferences. See [url=https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/io/data_paths.html]File paths in Godot projects[/url] to see what those paths convert to. See also [method localize_path].
[b]Note:[/b] [method globalize_path] with [code]res://[/code] will not work in an exported project. Instead, prepend the executable's base directory to the path when running from an exported project:
[codeblock]
var path = ""
if OS.has_feature("editor"):
# Running from an editor binary.
# `path` will contain the absolute path to `hello.txt` located in the project root.
path = ProjectSettings.globalize_path("res://hello.txt")
else:
# Running from an exported project.
# `path` will contain the absolute path to `hello.txt` next to the executable.
# This is *not* identical to using `ProjectSettings.globalize_path()` with a `res://` path,
# but is close enough in spirit.
path = OS.get_executable_path().get_base_dir().plus_file("hello.txt")
