Docset path in portable edition should be relative

[AyrA]

Info

Version: Zeal 0.5.0 Portable x64

Details

The docset path in the portable version should be relative if possible. Right now when zeal.ini doesn't exists, the application will fill in the full docsets path into the settings dialog. If the settings are saved without the user manually changing the path to a relative one, Zeal will save the absolute path which breaks the portability.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create directory Zeal and put the portable application in this directory
2. Launch Zeal, go to "Tools > Preferences" and click "OK", no need to change any setting
3. Install at least one documentation
4. Exit Zeal and rename the Zeal directory to something else
5. Launch Zeal again. The installed documentations are gone until the path is fixed manually or the ini file deleted.

Temporary Fix

Anyone experiencing this issue can fix it temporarily by just typing docsets into the docsets path in the preferences.

Fix

Make sure that the portable version of Zeal uses a relative directory as default instead of an absolute.

Valid observation. I think Zeal should use relative path if docset storage lies inside application directory.
