[Qgis-user] SVG Fill

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
I've used this to style up my data, and it was looking excellent good.
However I then moved the SVG files that were being used as the SVG Markers
for the point fill (they were in a temporary directory on my desktop).
Unfortunately this seems to have resulted in all of the point filled
stylings now not working!

Is this desired behaviour?
I expected the SVG styling information to be stored in the QML file, that
way I could just share the QML files and they'd work. This way it basically
renders QML files useless for sharing - everyone will want to put the SVG
files somewhere different because everyone has a different directory
structure.

If I look into the styling as loaded, the SVG maker is pointing at:
"C:/PROGRA~1/Quantum GIS Lisboa/apps/qgis/svg"
If I move the SVG files into there, they still aren't loaded if I reload
the style.
Any thoughts? Hows this supposed to work?

Jonathan
