pasting a bitmap...problem with file reference

Postby macti » Thu Sep 18, 2008 4:55 pm

My workflow:
1. I take a screenshot with a seperate tool and copy it into the clipboard.
2. I paste the screenshot onto the Inkscape canvas.

the problem:
Sometimes the bitmap is automatically linked and stored in the same folder as the inkscape file. (This ist what I want)
However sometimes -and I have no controll over it- the bitmap is linked and stored in a completely different folder.

How can I make Inkcape store and link the pasted bitmap at the same folder.
