Relative Path Linking for Resource Files

Post by unklStewy » Fri Jun 05, 2015 11:29 am

Would it not be easier if such materials were linked as relative paths to the project file.
That would make sharing a project more simple.
For Instance: The Background Image for the Canvas
Instead of referencing: C"\users\cannis\documents\OtherWorldMapper\alpha\0.1.7\Revolution\images\resource-file.jpg ... link files that are located in the same directory or subdirectory of the project file ast ../images/resource-file.jpg .

When sharing the file with another user the resource files would not have to be manually linked to the project. Files outside of the project folder could still be linked statically via the full file path.

That sounds good. I'll add it to the list and we'll have it running for the second alpha release. Thanks!
