Hi everyone,

I want to file an issue about absolute and relative paths because the 
current implementation does not make much sense to me. Before I do 
that, I'd like some input from others to see if there is a reasoning 
I have missed.

Paths to linked graphics are stored either absolute or relative, 
depending on how they were specified when the graphics was first 
used. But always displayed in absolute format. This seems 
non-sensical, if I used a relative path I want to 
see ../../path/to/file or similar. If I use an absolute path I want 
to see /full/path/to/file (these are Linux paths, modify as necessary 
for Windows platform). I also want to be able to change path type at 
will.

It can't be hard to implement it this way, it also makes sense to the 
user. Have I missed something which explains the reasoning behind the 
actual implementation?

Alan
