Hi Martin,

Using the dev Windows version Therion 5.5.7+67fffb0 (2021-02-22) I'm still only able to use absolute paths.  Is this a Windows only issue?

I've also tried using the \savepath method (from thbook) below with no success.

\savepath{mypath1}{../data/picture.png}
\def\maplayout{
\legendbox{100}{80}{NW}{\loadpicture{mypath1}}
}

Thanks for looking at this.

Regards, Henry Bennett

Hi,

it took some time, but now \loadpicture supports both relative and
absolute paths. Check out the devel branch (not yet merged to master):
