In the new scheme, relative paths would be generated every time the document is saved, relative to some base directory. My question is whether we should always use the home directory as a base directory, or always use the .bib as a base directory (or always use the papers folder), regardless of whether we save it with dotted directory notation or a tilde. adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
