Summary: project unportable because path to media files ...
Initial Comment:
... is saved as absolute path in the projecy file.
Imagination project, created by TED on his computer, in
/home/TED/show/myproject.osp
which elements as images, sounds, etc... reside on a sub directory like
/home/TED/show/media/
cannot be transferred to another PC.
Let say you copy the whole file structure of "../picture" on a computer which the user is SALLY, thus having a path structure pointing to
/home/SALLY/show/myproject.osp .
Imagination, opening the project, will give error because it will unsuccessfully look for files in
/home/TED/show/media/
because it will trying to retrieve the project elements using the previously stored path.
A Workaround I used is opening the .IMG file in a text editor and search/replace the absolute path
/home/TED/show/
by
./
so that the resulting path for a media file (in the example above) will be:
./media/
Thus I suggest saving in the .IMG file, a relative path to the imported media, this way will give the ability to carry out your project on any PC.
best salutations
