Short description of error
when using a preset folder that is on a different drive then blender i get a relative path
*//......!MaterialPresets* (D:\GDrive\CG!MaterialPresets)
blender installation folder: C:\Blender

this then results in a error in the node template menu

if i manually add the absolute path (D:\GDrive\CG!MaterialPresets) i can load the presets.

Possibly because if that path is pointing to a different drive than the one where Blender is installed, you cannot use relative paths but only absolute.
