Hi!

Can be the value of add_path in the astrometry.cfg configuration file a relative path?

For example is the below valid?

add_path ../path1/data

BR,

Hi!

Yes, in the meantime I did and it seems it only accepts an absolute path.
Just to be sure I am asking whether this is the correct behavior?

BTW is there any other way to define a search path for index files other than the config file?

I just tested and found that it *does* work. It can be a relative path from your cwd (eg not relative to where solve-field or astrometry-engine are installed).

Hi!

OK, I also tried, and yes, a path relative to CWD works! Thanks for the tip!

BR,
