Imported bitmap file reference

Postby Grobe » Mon Mar 08, 2010 8:24 am

Hi.

I have a svg file that include a png picture.

I have a copy of my working directory so that I can work with my drawing on another computer. Now, the problem here is that the location of working directory isn't the same as for the computer that it was saved from (file path and drive letter differs). As a result, the picture (link to external png file) isn't valig anymore.

Solution on this problem is if user could choose "relative link" for any imported (linked) images.
:lol:

There was a little discussion of relative versus absolute image links on the dev list over the last two or three days in the thread Very simple fix for the image embedding problem.
