            Bug ID: 367705
           Summary: Archive function does not switch to relative paths
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: 16.08.0
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Video Display & Export
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
          Reporter: i...@bytehamster.com

In previous versions (one of the 0.9.x releases), I could use the archive
function to transfer the project to another PC. It copied all media files to
sub-folders inside the tar archive ("images", "sounds", "videos") and updated
the project.kdenlive file to reference "$CURRENTPATH/videos/xy" instead of
"/mnt/xy".

Using 16.08.0, the files are still copied to the tar archive, but the paths
inside the project.kdenlive file stay untouched. So if I unpack the file on
another PC and try to open the project, it does not find any of the media files
(it tries to find them on /mnt/xy instead of using a relative path).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new project and add a media file
2. Project->Archive and select "Compressed archive"
3. Move archive to another PC or rename original files
4. Extract and open archived project

Actual Results:  
Kdenlive tries to find media files in the original location

Expected Results:  
Kdenlive should use the copy it created while archiving (using a relative path)
