Public bug reported:

I tried creating a pto_gen.desktop file for Linux, this would allow a
user to select multiple photos in a file browser and create a .pto
project from the right-click context menu by running pto_gen.

However this results in the .pto project being written to the users
$HOME directory since pto_gen creates the output file in the current
working directory.

e.g. this is the sort of command I need to be able to run:

  pto_gen /home/bruno/photos/P1030156.JPG
/home/bruno/photos/P1030157.JPG /home/bruno/photos/P1030158.JPG

What gets created is this file:

  P1030156-P1030158.pto

What I really need is this, i.e. the output file path needs to be
constructed from the full path of the first file:

  /home/bruno/photos/P1030156-P1030158.pto
