I guess the main question is: do you think a user would enter a relative
path in that dialog intending for it to be immediately converted to an
absolute path? The more I think about it, I cannot think of such a case
for any of the fields (although I agree that for some of the fields a
relative path would not makes much sense, like the templates path).
I like the idea. We can have a tooltip explaining how it works.
Do you support allowing relative paths for all the fields in the paths
tab or only working directory?
I only have an opinion for the working directory. Also I do not
understand which path field you are referring to (lost in translation).
If all, then instead of a tool tip since
the behavior would be consistent for all the paths we could put a note
at the top/bottom explaining something like "you may use relative paths
or absolute paths. Relative paths will be expanded with respect to the
directory you start LyX from, and thus could change each LyX session".
I see other paths that do not make much sense as relative directories.
However this could provide a more uniform interface. I already read for
the "TEXINPUTS prefix" tooltip: ". designates the current directory".
What you suggest would be less hidden and more uniform.
