commonElementsDir(), commonTitleBlockTemplatesDir() and languagesPath()
return the compile-time path verbatim when it is not marked
*_RELATIVE_TO_BINARY_PATH. On Windows those paths are relative
("./elements/", "./titleblocks/", "./lang/"), so they resolve against the
process working directory.
That only holds when QET is started from its own installation folder.
Opening a document from a file manager sets the working directory to the
document's folder, and the data is then looked for next to the user's
file. The shortcuts hide this by passing --common-elements-dir,
--common-tbt-dir and --lang-dir explicitly; anything that launches the
binary without them does not (see #554).
Add resolveConfiguredDataPath(): absolute paths are returned unchanged,
and a relative one is tried against the working directory first (so any
setup relying on the old behaviour keeps working), then next to the
executable, then in its parent -- the layout used by the Windows
packaging, where the binary sits in bin/ with the data beside it. This is
the same fallback the no-compile-option branch already performs for
issue #86, which was unreachable whenever the compile option is set.
The *_RELATIVE_TO_BINARY_PATH defines are left alone; they are only set
for macOS in qelectrotech.pro, and the CMake guard that would set them
tests a variable that is never defined.
