--- Comment #3 from Frank Reininghaus <frank78ac googlemail com>  2011-05-28 14:56:16 ---
The place in Dolphin where the script gets launched is in
DolphinViewContainer::slotItemTriggered(const KFileItem& item); that function
calls 'item.run()'. Then KFileItem::run(...) uses KRun to execute the script,
where the working directory is set to KGlobalSettings::documentPath() in
KRun::runCommand(...).

It seems that this was done intentionally (see bug 108510). It might be
desirable to set the working directory to 'Documents' in some cases, but IMHO
not for shell (or Perl/Python/...) scripts launched from Dolphin.

One possibility to resolve this would be to implement overloaded functions
KFileItem::run(...) and KRun::KRun(...) that allow to pass the working
directory from DolphinViewContainer.

@David: Do you have a better idea how to resolve this issue?
