Reproduce this in XML Notepad 2.9.0.15 by saving XSD settings in C:\TEMP\XSD and opening an XML file from C:\TEMP\XML; compare the Error List with GoTo definition. Start from the Schemas... dialog and schema-loading path, and consider it done when the configured schema loads without using the XML file's folder.

Description

I try to use The XML Notepad 2.9.0.15. Thanks for this instrument!
In the "Schemas..." dialog I saved the settings for xsd-files which are in the folder C:\TEMP\XSD.
I am opening the xml-file located in another folder C:\TEMP\XML.
Error List shows the error "Error loading schema ..." (the hint shows the path to the shema to the current folder C:\TEMP\XML).
At the same time when pressing "GoTo definition" the xsd-schema is successfully opening from C:\TEMP\XSD.
What's wrong?
If the xsd-files are located in the same folder everything is fine.

Best regards,
Dmitrii
