HI,

You have two different things:
- working copy
- image directory

The working copy return the folder from which the image was launched.
Most of the time it is the image directory but not all the time.

For example ./pharo-ui ../../test/pharo.image will have the working
directory be the location of the pharo-ui script.

The image directory is what you are looking for.
