[Qgis-user] Save Paths Relative to the .qgs project file

[Giovanni Manghi]

> The ability to Save Relative Paths was originally promised to be  
> included in QGIS version 1.0. It appears the function of Save  
> Relative Paths is not included in QGIS version 1.2, thus preventing  
> the use of QGIS where the GIS is distributed on DVD-ROMs, and flash  
> drives. We have been waiting two years for the ability to Save  
> Relative Paths. It is unclear if QGIS has any plans to include the  
> ability to Save Relative Paths.
