Don't agree with this: the same file is certainly available in a
different, OS-specific, directory. QGIS normally take into account this,
quite effectively.
What is wrong here IMHO is to store an absolute, OS independent, path,
instead of a variable, OS specific, one, that gets replaced as most
appropriate for each system.

Of course this work, but it’s a hack.

Thanks Harrissou for your opinion.
