Thanks for the answer but the portability goal is not met with your
suggestion. If I change the location where my files are stored (the
location from the point of view of the filsystem) it does no longer
work. And I would have dozens of config files with different picture
paths. The idea with getting the absolute current path while the
script is running with
-f "%ENV/pictures/photo1.jpg")
is working fine. Even if I have to change every script but that can be
done "half" automatically.
Thanks for your help.
