Using JPEGView mylist.txt (slideshow) across dirs and drives

[slovuj]

It looks like the mylist.txt parameter on the JPEGview command line only looks
for files in the current dir? If I craft a list.txt file like this, with explicit full paths:

D:\Knights.jpg
"C:\20130223.bmp"
C:\de\20150429_185649_HDR.jpg
C:\de\20150501_092308_HDR.jpg
D:\CYMERA_20160808_152626.jpg
E:\test\eva.PNG
D:\DSC_0775.JPG
"E:\CA\Vancouver 1.png"
"D:\examples\python 1.jpg"
"D:\examples\python 2.jpg"

and run JPEGView from a random working directory, say, C:\testing_jpegview:

C:\JPEGView\JPEGView.exe" C:\TEMP\mylist.txt

It tells me "The directory C:\testing_jpegview does not contain
any image files!" Of course it does not, but I gave you
a list to read line by line and display images named there.

I hoped that adding /slideshow would help, but no.

Am I doing something wrong? If not, please improve this feature,
which allows one to generate a list of image files across dirs,
local and network drives...

The readme.html states that the Slide Show Text File...
All text formats must contain one file name per line.
The file names must use paths relative to the folder
of the slide show text file or absolute paths and must
be terminated either with a hyphen ("), with a newline
character or with a < character.
The following examples show possible line formats:
d:\Images\test.jpg
test.jpg
"d:\My Documents\test.jpg"
d:\My Documents\test2.jpg

What am I doing wrong?

I'm going to construct some tests next week to test this behavior... I don't use the slideshow or pre-loaded file lists a whole lot, but let me recreate a test case with multiple directory structures all over the place... if there's a bug it should be relatively easy to find.
