freemind uses relative path to look for files

[Johannes Lips]

Hello,

I recently received the following bug against freemind.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800769

One working solution is to just add cd /usr/share/freemind into the startup
script but I just wanted to know if that is possible
and also why the current definition of the working directory in the startup
script is not working.
The current startup script looks like this:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=freemind.git;a=blob;f=freemind.sh...

Hope we could find an easy solution since it will really fix the Export
problems we have with freemind.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Johannes

Ok, so since there are no objections so far against the workaround. I am
going to push the changes to the freemind startup script later this week.
If anyone doesn't want me to do this, just let me know and we could work on
a better solution.
I also filed it as a bug upstream but didn't receive any response so far.

If you have a look in the original start script shipped by upstream,
you'll notice they do quite a few more things in the script. I'd suggest
actually using the upstream script in some way (probably placing it in
/usr/share/freemind, and then executing it in another simple shell
script placed in /usr/bin/. This will probably solve other bug(s) as
well and be more future-proof.
