I will see what I can do, but for example, I am not sure it is easy to
get the full path, afaik we only record the filename.

About the local database for -R %l , it looks a bit inconsistent with
the rest (there is a local database entry also with -S and -U
operations), but on the other hand we have no filename and no url
there ... So maybe ..

I guess mainly because the code was quite bad, and there was not much
code in common between -U and -S operations
Nagy fixed that in the following patch :
