I want to move a complete project to another subdir. The problem then arises that the references to images and other files are encoded as full path in the administration file. What I would like is to define the references as a relative path. So, for example, not D:\ROCKET\PROJECTEN\QUILT\PICTURES,
but.\PICTURES. In this situation the rootmap, the map that contains the .rcd file, would be
D:\ROCKET\PROJECTEN\QUILT.
Then, after moving, everything will continue to work, since only the rootmap will change, and all other references are still valid. I can achieve this now by manually coding the references as relative, but that has to be done for each reference, and the choicewindows cannot be used.
So it would be nice if a rootmap could be specified, and then the references could be defined as relative to it.

You can probably just use a symlink using the mlink tool to alway have the same folder but point it to somewhere else?

Thank you for your response. It is indeed a solution to make the references to a pseudo address. But then it is still necessary to do this in advance, in my opinion you can't arrange it afterwards, if you have already defined the hardcoded links. But maybe I'm overlooking something. Anyway thanks for thinking with me.
