When I want to insert a new image I get an error message.

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. S.

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:

I am sorry, I have wrongly understood original mail. Obviously it is a bug somewhere in xtherion. I will try to check and fix it. Thanks, S. Quoting Philip Balister <philip@balister.org>:

This is what I am doing... ./cavename contains svx files ./cavename/notes scans of notes ./cavename/segments scraps cut from notes ./cavename/therion/ th files ./cavename/therion/th2/ th2 files ./cavename/therion/th2/notes -> ../../notes Symbolic links work inside of th2 files ei manually writing the path in the th2 file. When you try do it in xtherion with the image add, it breaks because the finder uses the absolute path and not the symbolic path. ../../notes also works when manually inputed into the th2 file.

So the problem is that when you use the the finder thingy, the absolute path is inserted? But you can successfully enter relative paths and paths via sym links by hand? Of course entering this by hand is painful I suspect .... I have a subversion repo I keep saurvey data in and the other Philip is workin on a map in this repo. So if he enters absolute paths into the therion map, I cannot check out his work and compile it on my machine without changing the paths. Hopefully this is a very clear statement of the problem.

Symbolic links work inside of th2 files ei manually writing the path in the th2 file. When you try do it in xtherion with the image add, it breaks because the finder uses the absolute path and not the symbolic path.
../../notes also works when manually inputed into the th2 file.

../../notes also works when manually inputed into the th2 file.
I will check, whether we can do something with it. If there will be no other possibility, we can skip the path checking and create ".." references. As far as I understand the problem, it should be still acceptable (until there are no absolute paths). S.
I think creating ".." would be better. The paths will still be relative. I have changed all my th2 to use ".." instead of the symbolic link. On Wednesday 05 April 2006 3:42 pm, Stacho Mudrak wrote:

I have changed xtherion to use ".." references, when inserted picture is outside the current path. I hope, it will not cause some problems. S. Quoting Philip Schuchardt <ohc@vt.edu>:
