When I start a program in Dolphin (by double clicking it), it cannot
find files it needs that are in the same directory. Is this a known
bug, intended behavior, or am I doing something wrong?
I think it will use the $HOME directory as the work directory since the
program installation directory is usually not writable and thus not a good
base path.
An application intended to be copied into a data set and run there will
usually get the path itself through using the operating system API for that.
(actually even a program working with separated data can do that if it wants
to read things like default configuration from its installation directory)
Which program are you trying to run and what kind of files doesn't it find?
Cheers,
Kevin
