| Summary | 0013505: Enhancement: PFILE Attribute for PAGEOBJECT be Configurable to Relative or Abosolute Path | ||||
| Description | Currently, when an image file is imported, the file's location is saved in the PAGEOBJECT element's PFILE attribute. The value is a relative path, e.g. in Windows "../../../Temp/EVE0001.TIF". It would be desirable to have the PFILE value be an absolute path, e.g. in Windows "D:/Temp/EVE0001.TIF", instead of a relative path, configurable by an option. Having absolute paths allows the Scribus file to be copied and moved about within the file system, e.g. having copies for testing, without breaking links. The default setting for the option could be relative to preserve current functionality, but switchable to absolute paths. | ||||
| Additional Information | I suppose the result could be achieved using a Plugin that visits each object and changes relative to absolute paths. | ||||

Wouldn't this be an issue if you wanted to share your SLA via 'collect for output' ? |
|
|
I do not know what you mean by "share your SLA via "collect for output"'? |
|
|
Also, I was thinking Python Script, not Plugin when I used the words Plugin in the initial comment. |
|
|
OP, when you want to open this SLA on another machine with a different directory tree ? How will an absolute path help in any way ? |
|
|
Here's my strategy: All images are stored on a Linux server ("image server"), they are exposed on the Windows machine through a mount to P: So I have my Scribus file ("sla") import the images using absolute paths, e.g. P:\music\brahms\sym1\2P4H\P1\EVE001.TIF. The sla file can be anywhere on my Windows system, e.g. D:\projects\brahms88.sla, or D:\Temp\brahms88.sla, and the images will always appear (provided Scribus does not convert absolute paths to relative paths). Then I can have the same file, brahms88.sla, on a Linux box, say in /home/jlpoole/work/music/brahms/sym1/2P4H/brahms88.sla and I have in that same directory a soft link named "P:" which points to a mounted share /P which, in turn mounts to the image server. I can move my brahms88.sla around anywhere on the Linux tree, I just have to have in the directory where it exists a soft link "P:". Under this scenario, my brahms88.sla file can be free to be placed anywhere on either operating system tree and my images will always resolve. |

I fixed this and uploaded a diff file in related bug 0006518. This is the first time I have contributed to the project and do not know the procedure to having the fix evaluated and considered. Is there anything else I should do? |
