I find it best if referencing to a subdirectory off of where the
OvPro file is to have a reference for each picture such as:
{filepath}.^.subdirectory.picture/jpg
Once all referenced pictures are setup like this, this method has the
advantage of being able to move the OvPro file and subdirectory of
pictures to another directory or computer (RISC OS or Windows) without
alteration.
