We're running OpenLP v 2.1.6 across multiple machines. At present the main machines being used are running Linux (Mint XFCE 17.1), but the issue about relative paths seems to be present.
<br>
We sync data between the church system and worship leaders' home systems using a shared Dropbox folder.
<br>
We don't get a problem with service schedules with songs and custom slides. These can be unproblematically saved as a file in a shared folder, and opened from either machine successfully.
<br>
However, presentations, images and media "libraries" (on the leftmost column of the gui) don't seem to be able to be shared between machines, because the path to the file in each case is absolute not relative.
<br>
It sounded as though there was an attempt to allow relative file paths in a version earlier than 2.1.6, so it ought to work for us. But could you possibly advise as to HOW one should specify a file path for (say) an image or a presentation, using a relative path? When one clicks the button to add a presentation or an image, one is simply presented with a window that navigates around the filesystem, and when a file is added, it is given an absolute file path.
<br>
Any advice?
Did the solution not get developed after all for relative file paths?
Or is there some other way of using it?
<br>
Thanks, Jamie
