Title: Local Paths: where active
Post by: Jan van Mastbergen on April 23, 2009, 11:03:49 pm

Maybe a newbie's question but...

We are working with .eap database files where model elements have attached files. Adding such a file attachment stores the absolute path in the .eap. This is giving us trouble when the .eap and attachment folder are moved.
This makes me wonder:
On what element types and properties do the apply path/expand path commands work.
The general setup shows 'project directory' (default blank) & 'file directory' (default $EAPDIR). How can I use one of these to make an attachment spec independent of the absolute file path?

Confused, Jan

Hi
as I remember (we don't use  it for some time)
$EAPDIR is the directory where EAP file si stored or you can write any directory you want here.
You can write file paths relative to this folder  then ...

But if you have a repository in database this will not help you....
