Bug Description

Playing around with the new partial panorama feature, I'm creating .paf files for all my panoramas. However, the behavior is somewhat weird. I do put the FQP in the paf file, like
Panorama\ Image=/home/pit/Graph/Panoramas/Burgers_Zoo.jpg

Now, if I start panoglview, and use the 'open project' button to load the paf file, everything is fine, the panorama is displayed as I want it. If I supply the paf file as load argument, things are different. If I am in the same direcory as the paf file, calling it like
  panoglview Burgers_Zoo.paf
things work fine, too, pano is displayed. Now I change one level up
  cd ..
  panoglview PAF/Burgers_Zoo.paf
Now I immediately get the error message popup
  Can't load image from file '': file does not exist.
panoglview keeps running. So when I now use the 'open project' button to load the same file, it's displayed.

Yes I see a similar thing even with .paf files containing just a filename without a path, it only works if started from the same directory as the .paf file.

is anybody maintaining panoglview? maybe the best alternative would be to move to freepv, or soon to vlc media player
