Location: San Diego, CA                When I create a new RS project... I 
usually create a directory on my computer which contains all the resources 
required for a project... That is basically the RBP file and all icons, png 
files etc that are dragged into the project.

Now my "system" consists of multpile computers connected via a LAN.

I have Computer A with the project, and this is where I do 90% of my 
development work.
however on occasion, I need to take an in progress project and move it to 
Computer B (a laptop)

What I do it copy the Project Folder from Computer A to Computer B.... so that 
Computer B has an identical copy (RBP, PNG files etc)

BUT.... When I disconnect Computer B from the LAN and attempt to load the 
Project... it tells me it cannot find ANY of my PNG files, indicating that they 
are located on Computer A (from which I am now disconnected)

Why?  Shouldn't the Project refer to external files via a RELATIVE reference 
and not an Absolute one?

Or is there a method of moving a project (and its resources) from computer to 
computer that I'm not aware of?
