Bug #75305	Opening Model with Mysql Workbench on console requires full path

Description:
I played around with the console options for workbench and I wonder why is it not possible to open a model with a relative path?

How to repeat:
C:\xampp\htdocs\armonico>MySQLWorkbench -model dbModel.mwb
and
C:\xampp\htdocs\armonico>MySQLWorkbench -model ./dbModel.mwb

gives me the following error:
Cannot open document 'dbModel.mwb'
Could not open file dbModel.mwb: No such file or directory

C:\xampp\htdocs\armonico>MySQLWorkbench -model "C:\xampp\htdocs\armonico\dbModel.mwb"

works fine. 

Suggested fix:
Would it be possible to change that behavior so that opening a model is possible with a relative path, too?

Thank you for the bug report. On Linux works.

I am not able to reproduce it with 6.2.5/6.3.3 GA releases. Please check with latest 6.3.3 and if you are still having issue then provide exact model file and complete error log.

Fixed as of the upcoming Workbench 6.3.9 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Starting MySQL Workbench from the command line with an optional argument
of a script or model file required the absolute (or fully qualified) path
name of the file.

Thank you for the bug report.
