IGV 1.5.30, released October 2010
OK,
Should I expect relative paths to work when a session is opened by URL? Also, I seem to remember that
Should I expect to still have to set relativePath="true" on Resource elements in my session file, as documented in the following:
IGV 1.5.30, released October 2010
- Relative file paths can now be used in session XML files. If the "relativePath" attribute of a Resource element is set to true the resource file path will be interpreted relative to the location of the session file. Note: if relativePath is used the corresponding "Track" elements, if any, for the file will be ignored.
Thanks,

Hi, IGV 2.3.60 was just released with an important change to the treatment of paths in session files. By default all paths are now written in "absolute" form. To enable generation of relative paths you need to check a new user preference under the General category, "Use relative paths in session files." This change was made due to some intractable errors in relative path computation in situations involving certain Linux/Java combinations and symbolic links. If you are not experiencing these problems and prefer to keep using relative paths please select the user preference (View > Preferences > General).
