Dear Elena,
I hope you are well. Sorry to reopen this thread, but I just wanted to
check to see if the VDS limitation we previously discussed is still on
track to be addressed in 1.10.2.
Thank you and The HDF Group for this feature, but it would be great if
we could tell HDF5 "please interpret the links in the VDS as being
relative to the VDS file, not the executable reading the file."
Thanks again.
Best,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Yes, we plan to address this limitation in the HDF5 1.10 release
(1.10.2) that will be done by the end of the year.

Hi,
I saw in the 1.10.0-patch1 release notes that:
- VDS feature limitation
Currently, the path to a VDS source file is interpreted as relative to
the directory where the executable program runs and not to the HDF5 file
with the VDS dataset unless a full path to the source file is specified
during the mapping.
Will this restriction be relaxed in the near future? We often access
data from programs executed in different directories than the HDF5
datasets (where the main VDS file resides). When creating the VDS file,
we use relative paths to form the mapping for portability.
Thanks,
Matthew
