Sorry I didn't make my meaning clear. In light of the last paragraph which was snipped (an OPro document with a relative path may also hold a no-longer-valid full path), is it possible to make OPro put in something for a full path (which is valid even though that is not where the referenced pictures are) when creating the new document from the DDL? I mentioned OvationPro$Dir because it will always evaluate to a valid path.
No.It would be a good idea - OP is not too smart at handling missing referenced images.
The folder containing the document and the pictures has a folder called TempCSD and TempCSD is set as the CSD from the filer. The DDL from the document is saved to the same folder as the document and the pictures.
Sorry. It was just an idea.
Are these behaviours the same in the Windows version?
The major point about filepath and DDL will be the same.
Is there an easy way (a global way) to change all pictures in a document from embedded to referenced?
No.
Perhaps an easier fix would be to evaluate the relative path to an absolute path when saving DDL. It might also be useful to solely (I wrote simply but realised it is unlikely to be simple to implement) change the reference to relative if the relative path evaluates to the folder specified in Collect referenced pictures instead of making copies with a new name.
It looks like something I've not thought of some of the problems with. -- David Pilling email: david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.davidpilling.net post: David Pilling P.O. Box 22 Thornton Cleveleys Blackpool. FY5 1LR UK fax: +44(0)870-0520-941
