Can't use minted from subfolder

[hagen93]

It looks like minted doesn't recognize that it is being used from within a subfolder, e.g. when importing a file with the import package it looks like pygments is still outputting its processed files to the root directory while the IfFileExists/input commands (minted.sty line 101/102) looks for them under the current directory. See attached tarball for minimum viable example of this bug.

Problem seems to be absent when using the subfiles package instead of import by the way

minted does everything based on the root document directory, so it is incompatible with the import package's starred commands, like the \import*{sub/}{sub.tex} in the sample document. The starred commands only look for input in the subdirectory. However, the unstarred commands (\import{sub/}{sub.tex}) also look for input further up the directory tree. Removing the * allows the document to compile without errors.

I can add a note about this to the minted FAQ, but getting things to work with the starred commands probably won't happen. If import provided a way to locally disable its path modifications, then it would be possible to get things to work (but then the starred commands wouldn't really be limited only to the subdirectory). Trying to get minted to work with anything other than the root document directory would introduce a lot of additional complexity.

Yeah, I suppose just adding a note about it is the best then. As I said above the subfiles package seems to be compatible (as far as I can see), so my solution was to just switch to that one. =)
