My problem was partly addressed in this question. Since I cannot comment yet, I will continue Ulrike Fischer's answer with a new question.

The expample worked on my system as well with pdflatex, but it fails when I use xelatex. Furthermore, even pdflatex only works with absolute directory, not with the other commands from the currfile package.

I extended the example: 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[abspath]{currfile}
\begin{document}
abs dir: \currfileabsdir

dir: \currfiledir

base: \currfilebase

ext: \currfileext

name: \currfilename

path: \currfilepath


jobname: \jobname


\end{document}

The result with xelatex looks like this:

Result with Xelatex

When I use pdflatex, I get almost the same result, only the absolute directory works fine.

Any suggestions?

My setup: TexLive 2015; Mac OS 10.11

    Welcome to TeX.SX! You need to run the engine with the -recorder option in order for currfile to find the required data. – egreg May 24 '16 at 23:15
  • Now I got a pdf with the command xelatex --recorder test.tex and the absolute path is printed. The other paths (dir, path) are not yet printed. -- But I can live with it. Now I am searching for a way to enter the --recorder option into a GUI like TeXShop -- still searching, will come back. – Shinoto May 25 '16 at 04:49
