Explicit behavior of Path's IOBox (Absolute and Relative)

I’ve written about this before, but I’ll restate it in a normal post.

IOBox with path is having problems now.

  1. I can’t specify relative paths explicitly.
  2. Relative paths either work or they don’t, it’s implicit.
  3. There are errors when trying to specify relative paths. Specifying “.\” or “..\” expands the path to the right folder. However, re-editing breaks the previously entered text.

This is an old, serious UX problem. It indirectly occurs in many queries but is particularly tedious when working with assets.
