Title: notes field links to external files/images
Post by: Ron Pasquarelli on June 30, 2012, 01:34:39 am

Hello-

In the notes area for elements I'd like to be able to link to a local file with a relative path (i.e. ./Images/image.gif) relative to the folder that the .eap file is in. It appears that when I insert a link to an image in a notes field the full path is used. This is a problem if we move the eap file to another user's machine.

I have also been using the automation interface to add notes and it seems that the full path to the file is necessary with this method too.

Any way to specify a relative path?

Just out of curiosity: how do you create the link? I just tried various variants but none worked. When I drag an image onto the notes it shows the picture but a) does not recognize the operation (Apply is not enabled) and even after adding text b) the changes are lost after a save/open. Trying to insert via context menu worked similarly good (i.e. it did not work!).
