hello
ies files dont work when path is relative. could you please look at this? talking about paths there are two more issues I have already reported, perhaps this could be fixed in one "Schwung"

What’s your OS?
Did you save your scene before loading the ies file?
(macOS/ Corona 6) when you load an ies file, click "yes" on the copy dialog, a "ies" folder gets created in you project directory, and automatically sets the relative path "./ies/somelight.ies"
All TR machines can see the file in the ies folder.

Hi,
I already use textures in relative mode and point to the encompassing folders in file assets paths. Then Cinema just looks into those folders. ies should work in similar way, at least in Arnold they do. I would like to avoid copying ies instances into every projects sub folder as you suggest.
