I'm working on a cross-platform app in which we need to store the media
separate from our stack files. There will likely be one standalone and
several separate stack files which will run under it.
Because this is a cross-platform app, it would seem we cannot use full paths
to the files, since Mac uses the volume name to specify the root and Win32
uses the drive label ("D", "E", etc.).
So this leads me to a couple questions:
1. Why does the MC graphics importer use full paths, since we know in
advance those will not work in a shipping app except in the unlikely
occurrence that the drive letter, volume name, and all elements of the path
are exactly the same? Have I missed something here?
2. Wen using a relative path, it seems dependend on the current directory,
rather than the location of the stackfile the media is referenced in. Or is
the path always fixed relative to the MC app/standalone?
