Subject: 0.93: Loss of keyboard shortcuts when run from different path
XnView: MP 0.93 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64bit
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Keyboard shortcuts are lost when XNViewMP Portable runs from a different installation path
Effect: There are no keyboard shortcuts on launch
To reproduce:
1. Configure XNViewMP Portable on a certain path use program folder for all files
2. Load a custom keyboard shortcut file from the program folder
3. Move installation folder to a different path
4. Run from new location
Actual behaviour (bug): No keyboard shortcuts work
Expected behaviour: Previously configured keyboard shortcuts should be maintained

I use XnViewMP Portable 0.93 64bits (Jan 31 2019) in two computers, home (Windows 7 64Bits) and work (Windows 10 64Bits) running from a thumb drive with a different file letter.
In the xnview.ini preferences file custom .key keymap files are stored as a full path so it is not found when run from a different location and I have to set it up again on every first run.
My custom key map is store in the program folder, and in Settings > Integration > Paths > Folder for Other Files I have it set Program(XNView) but it doesn't seem to find the file anyway. I also tried manually inserting a relative path in shortcut=MyCustomKeys.keys, but it is not recognized and resets to a full path.
Is it possible to change behavior so program folder is searched on startup for the current key file, or make it accept a relative paths to the file in portable mode?

strange by default .keys use same path as .ini
