Provide placeholder for absolute path

[steini86]

All my scripts work with absolute paths and I use something like /var/www/m.js86.de/files/ocdata/"$1" where the first parameter is %n. However, it should be easy to directly provide a placeholder with the absolute path. (If I understand it correctly, %n is created by using the full path and stripping the base).

nope, it's more complicated:

%f should give you the absolute path for files available on local storage. Those from external will be copied to a temp directory.
