decision needed: relative paths in playlists

[Johannes W. <ja...@mo...>]

Hey!

Aleksandar_B has pointed out an issue in cmus:
If a playlist contains relative paths, cmus doesn't complete them to the
absolute paths. The only advantage I can think of is that when you save
the playlist again, you still have the relative paths. The problem is,
if you navigate with :cd (or added the playlist using the browser view),
you can't play the files anymore.

I would suggest the following:
1. use the directory containing the playlist as starting point for
   playlist loading (regardless of the current working directory!)
2. make every path absolute (but no relative link resolution!) when
   adding a playlist
3. add an option (-r ?) to :save to save a playlist using relative paths

What do you think?
