Re: [Therion] Symbolic links.

[Philip Balister]

So the problem is that when you use the the finder thingy, the absolute 
path is inserted? But you can successfully enter relative paths and 
paths via sym links by hand? Of course entering this by hand is painful 
I suspect ....

I have a subversion repo I keep saurvey data in and the other Philip is 
workin on a map in this repo. So if he enters absolute paths into the 
therion map, I cannot check out his work and compile it on my machine 
without changing the paths.

Hopefully this is a very clear statement of the problem.
