can't save correctly relative image path

Postby garxina » Thu Dec 05, 2013 8:19 am

Hi,

i'm creating a slideshow presentation using inkscape and jessying (see an example: http://www.transmetent.com/apunts/svg/elcorreu.svg
I like to put images in a separate folder to have a lightweight svg file but when i link images it saves the absolute path of the image, something like: home/Documents/svgfolder/images/imagename.png
I changed the path to a relative in all images just doing it in image propieties: ../images/imagename.png
I save the changes and it works fine but if I close the file, open as new and make some changes, inkscape changes the relative image path to the absolute image path.
I have to change all image path if i want to link it and make it works on my server with a lightweight svg file.

Can somebody explain me how to fix the relative path in inkscape?

Thanks!
