    Dear Don,

    I do not know what was the intention about functionality of the newly added feature in 4.6:

      7. Add open relative file path from command line feature.

    It is clear, however, that is has spoiled the original command line behaviour that is our main mode of operation.  If I type a command line like this:

      notepad++ foobar.txt

    the program will try to find the foobar.txt file in the folder where the notepad++.exe file is placed, rather than in the current folder which would be the "naturally expected" behaviour :-(

    Will you please comment on this?

      Don,

      Yes, this works.  But anyway, what is the rationale behind changing the the behaviour?  I do not think that storing the data files in the notepad's++ folder might have any sense.  What is the situation where this new feature will make life easier?

      Regards,
