I'm not going to make any more suggestions at the moment, because that will slow you down...

Think you may have misunderstood; my understanding is that settings go in ~/.liqbase, and one of those settings will be LOCATION_TO_GRAB_IMAGES, and that will typically be /home/user/MyDocs/liqbase (or similar).

Basically, it's portable to have a systemwide directory in /usr/liqbase, it's portable to have a user-local config directory at ~/.<appname>, and settings there specifying a user-local directory, but it's not portable to assume there exists a MyDocs, and hard-code a user-local path in it.
