Currently SIlk Performer stores and searches for data files using absolute paths.

I tend to not like cluttering up the root project directory with a ton of stuff so I put all data files that are project specific in a data subdirectory within the root project directory. This way I am not polluting the default global data directory which the Silk Performer installation creates with project specific files.

Allowing the use of relative paths would also make a big difference when using source control, such as my teams use of Git. Whenever a new person on a project first checks it out from the repository they are forced to update all data files, scripts as well, if they put it someplace other than where the original project was located. This is even a concern if two or more people check out to the same location, yet have different usernames.

Using relative paths would eliminate all of the headaches this brings.
