Actually this is an issue with relative paths in generally, not only IMCE, and probably due to some wrong setting on my part.
Therefore I'm labeling it a support request.

On my local server, relative paths created by IMCE, and relative paths necessary for other stuff to work as well (e.g. flash plugins etc) is of the form:

/drupal/sites/all/files/...

I don't know why 'drupal' (or whatever one renames the drupal folder to) should be in the path. I would expect it to be relative to the drupal folder, not to htdocs.

When deploying the site to e.g. http://www.example.com, all such paths are broken and need to be modified as follows in order to function (which is a pain):

/sites/all/files/...

Any ideas?

This must have been answered somewhere, as I suspect more than one users have run into this issue, but couldn't determine the phrasing to find an exact search result, so pls bear with me.

Thank you in advance.

I could probably change documentRoot every time I develop a site, so as to force the site to mount to http://localhost, but I guess this is really a matter of IMCE not returning relative, but absolute paths (that initial / should have tipped me off).
