So, I wondered what was the French translation for "file path", and it
seems to be "Chemin d'accès au fichier", so adding an adjective seems ok...

I will go for "types dépendant du chemin de définition", but I hope I
won't have to write it too many times.

Cheers,

I'm not the best person to ask, but I would note that graph theory in
French uses a simple "chemin" with no adjective:

Yes, I don't know why in that context, it doesn't sound strange...
Perhaps just because I'm used to "chemin" for path in graph due to year
of hearing respectful teacher talking about it, and that it is just not
the case for types...

I will write 1000 times "types dépendants du chemin" and see how I feel
after that :) But now, I really want to ask "but the path from where to
where ?".
