Comment (by mlennert):

 Replying to [ticket:2846 hellik]:
 > it would be nice if there would be an information of the whole path to
 the file which could be copy/paste as input to the r.li.*-modules.

 You should not use the absolute path in the r.li.* modules. Just the file
 name. You can list existing files with g.gui.rlisetup. So, normally, no
 need to see the absolute path.

 However, ascii output files are also stored in the same path, and this is
 a bit more of a nuisance as you then have to navigate there to find the
 file. I imagine (but haven't checked) that this was done to ensure that
 any other r.li.* module can potentially, easily find the ascii output of
 another, but are there many modules that read this kind of output ?

 In any case, though, all modules give the info of the standard path in
 their manual. Ex for r.li.padsd:

 "[...] otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in the folder
 C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or
 $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux)."
