Hello everybody.
If pcbnew launched with <board_file>.brd as cmd-line argument (just filename,
without absolute path), attempting to load file from current directory, pcbnew
loads settings from kicad.pro in the templates directory instead of
<board_file>.pro in the current directory.
It happens because pcbnew creates wxFileConfig with <board_file>.pro as
local_file constructor argument. According to wxFileConfig documentation it
means that config file location will be transformed to ~/.<board_filename>.pro
which is not exist, and after failing to read values from this wrong location
pcbnew falls back to loading default settings from kicad.pro
In the same launching eeschema correctly detects config file name as
<absolute_path>/<sch_file>.pro
Attached path fixes bug by converting <board_file>.pro to
<absolute_path>/<board_file>.pro in the same way as eeschema does.
