Hi,
Opening a foo.pro file in the current directory
   kicad foo.pro
gives an error message ("Directory not found").

The reason is simple: calling wxSetWorkingDirectory() with an empty string
causes that problem.
This might be due to version of wxwidgets; I have version 3.0 whatever is
currently on debian testing.
Arguably, that should be fixed in wxwidgets (I'll check out that code later
and look for a solution there).

But for now, a fix for the immediate problem

This is against current head.

Cheers,
