I checked the PDF plugin again as this was never broken on Windows

that the exact same fix we recently found we needed to do to other
plugins
was already present in the PDF plugin.
Thorsten committed this change back in February 18th [1] with the
log
message of 'making resources usable from other plugins' .

Yeah, actually if we want to reuse resources from other plugins the
relative path does not work in the lm for plugins.
The solution to add as fallback the absolute location will work for
all
plugin as I understand it and brings the benefit of usability of the
resources.

However, if the above fix is useful in general for making reusable
resources
available by default then it doesn't feel so bad. Combine that with
talk of
future and markably different direction(s) for Forrest as a whole
then it
might just be acceptable.

Thorsten and I talked about the solution for reusing resources some
time ago. The result was his commit you refer to.
A side effect that fixes a weird bug on a single platform is a plus.
It is well documented thanks to your work and the discussion here and
on the JIRA issue. I'd just make the patch and be done with it.
If it bites us in the ass in the future we can revisit.
