I'm having trouble figuring out why you need a symbolic link ..... Our survey data is stored something like this ./cavename contains svx files ./cavename/notes scans of notes ./cavename/segments scraps cut from notes Here I am a little unsure what the other Philip has done ./cavename/therion contains files for therion I believe that the other Philip's problem is that therion does not like it when you refer to scraps like this ../segment/file.png, but I am not 100% certain of this. So he creates a symbolic link to work around the original problem. Philip Stacho Mudrak wrote:
We would like to keep files portable. If they will refer to images outside current folder, you can not simply pack the folder you want to modify, but you need to pack all the time entire project. Then it is also difficult to split the work between more people.
If you do not like having same images on two places, you can simply use symbolic links on unix-like systems.

Quoting Philip Schuchardt <ohc@vt.edu>:
When I want to insert a new image I get an error message. Why can't therion open images that follow a symbolic link?
notes -> ../../notes
