[BitBucket user: Lenz Hirsch] [BitBucket date: 2016-07-07.11:09:33] Hi, I just noticed a little inconsistency in config path handling: Orthanc itself takes config paths as relative to the location of the config file. OrthancWebviewer takes config paths as relative to the current working directory of Orthanc. So if the location of the configfile is != current working directory Orthanc and OrthancWebviewer interpret the value of StorageDirectory differently. Therfore you end up with two data directories. This can be fixed by using absolute paths in config.

Hi, I just noticed a little inconsistency in config path handling:

Orthanc itself takes config paths as relative to the location of the config file.
OrthancWebviewer takes config paths as relative to the current working directory of Orthanc.

So if the location of the configfile is != current working directory
Orthanc and OrthancWebviewer interpret the value of StorageDirectory differently.
