Description
I'm trying to export a static image in R using orca(), but it ignores the file path and just exports it to the current location of the script that I'm running.
For example, if I run orca(image, "/images/plot1.png") from a script located in /code/script.R, it saves it to /code/plot1.png instead of where I specified.

Research direction
Start at the R implementation of orca() and reproduce the reported call with an absolute output path such as /images/plot1.png from a script in another directory. Trace how the path is passed to the image export process; done means the image is written to the requested path rather than the script's current location.
