------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 2 05:03:41 -0800 2005 ------- At the moment, when you create a file-based database (such as dBase or Spreadsheet), the URL to the files (let's call it the "data URL") is stored in an absolute manner - that is, something like "file:///c:/foo/bar". As a result, when you move the database document (the .odb file), together with the underlying data, to another machine, you need to either duplicate the file structure on this target machine, or to adjust the settings for the database. Nothing is really funny. It would be nice to (optionally) allow storing the data URL relative to the document URL. For instance, if you have an .odb file in c:\foo\bar.odb, and dBase files in "c:\foo\bar data\*.dbf", then it would be nice if within the .odb file, the data URL would be stored as "bar data" - which, relative to the document URL (file:///c:/foo/bar.odb) would yield a data URL of file:///c:/foo/bar%20data. This behaviour should probably be optionally, with some "Store data path relatively" setting in the "Edit|Database|Advanced settings" dialog. And of course it should be available for file-based databases only. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
