Hi folks, The current behavior of the 3D filename resolver is to use an absolute path in instances where a specified path is not a descendant of a path within the aliased paths list (that is, the filename cannot be shortened using an existing alias). This decision was originally made to avoid ambiguous relative paths such as "../../some/path" (what is it relative to?). The obvious down side of course is that absolute paths are not portable and this scheme would be a nuisance to people who want to share their work somehow. Since a number of people seem to be reliant on using the "../" form of relative path to share their work, I'd like to know people's opinions on using such relative paths. If such relative paths are preferred to absolute paths then I can make changes to the code such that the resolver will assign a path relative to the Current Project Directory rather than an absolute path in cases where the file path cannot be shortened via the use of an alias.
