What I meant is the following: If you change your auto-filing preferences from absolute to relative paths and then afterwards select one (or all) paper(s) and choose 'Consolidate Linked Files', then the Local-Url path should IMO be changed from an absolute to a relative one. Even when the location of the file on disk remains the same. Currently the path only gets converted to relative when the location of the file on disk changes.
