Currently any relative paths in XML read from a string will be interpreted relative to the current working directory of the script that is doing the loading (# file loading fixed in #326), which will likely be different than the location of the original xml file (if there was one). It would be useful for live-editing applications like HaosBuilder or Quantumnik to be able to specify - from where- the paths should be interpreted from when loading a file from a string. Perhaps passing in a root directory as an argument would suffice.
