How to default to relative path when importing images

Postby Vectorator » Tue Oct 21, 2014 2:28 pm

Hello,

When you import an image it imports it with an absolute path "e:\folder\folder\image.png" but I need relative paths. I can change them for each image one at a time by using right click >> image properties but this is a bit tedious. Is there a way to set relative paths as the default when importing? Perhaps some config file I can edit somewhere?

Also every time I import an image it asks whether I want to embed or link, is there a way to set it to always link and not prompt with the dialog box for each image imported?

I often have to import many tens of images at a time and if I forget to change even one to relative path it can be a problem later if I reinstall the os or just have the project in a different folder.
