Reproduction steps

Original issue: https://github.com/shinchiro/mpv-packaging/issues/21 The behaviour shows different with the first time. Now it cannot output at all.

1. install mpv by the bat file
2. write the contents into mpv.conf

 log-file = "~~exe_dir/temp/mpv.log"
 screenshot-directory = "~~exe_dir/temp/"
 sharpen=2
 gpu-shader-cache-dir="~~exe_dir/temp/"

3. open any video (i.e. a file in desktop) with mpv (windows context menu)
4. try to create the screenshot

Expected behavior

The logfile/screenshot/caches should be saved where mpv.exe is located.

Actual behavior

Nothing could be saved.

Log file

In this case it could not output the log.

I changed the log-file = "~~/mpv.log" only to output the log. mpv.log

It works but you have to create the folder you are pointing to first otherwise it errors as shown above.

create the folder you are pointing to

Doesn't work , No diff here.

Old but what's likely happening here is that exe_dir is returning "" for some reason instead of an actual path for you. Looks like a bug.
