If the export path has a different drive letter/path than the "\_workingpath":
\_workingpath: M:\
export filename: D:\myaudio.xml
\_folderpath\_rel: M:\path\to\folder\
When saving an export file to a directory other than "\_workingpath", the "\_folderpath\_rel" field contains the absolute path (e.g. "M:\path\to\folder").
If the drive letters are the same, i.e. :
\_workingpath: C:\path\to\folder\
export filename: C:\myaudio.xml
\_folderpath\_rel: path\to\folder\
This is using version 2.43
Why isn't "folderpath\_rel" relative to \_workingpath in this case?
Thanks

Note that %\_folderpath\_rel% is relative to Export output file, not necessarily to the current path (%\_workingpath%).
