Is there a way to use relative paths in xnview.ini for 'otherFolder=' and 'dbFolder=' as well as 'OpenWith='

That's again a bad decision for a portable app. Assume I have XnViewMP on an external drive and plug it into a computer. I have no Idea what drive letter it will get assigned.
It is absolutely mandatory to have relative paths so that I can keep accessing my database files regardless of drive letter assignment.
At least relative paths within the XnViewMP app directory should be made possible.

Right, but then I cannot put the user related files like database etc. into a seperate folder within the app directory.
So if "relative" path already exist with that "Program" option. It would be great to be able to specify a custom folder within app dir for organising user files.
