No, Rob, you aren't the only one experiencing this. It will be fixed before
1.2 comes out. we're currently trying to do it "right" as opposed to hack a
solution.
The hack is to modify insetgraphics.C, so:
string const InsetGraphics::prepareFile(Buffer const *buf) const
{
...
//
// if it's a zipped one, than let LaTeX do the rest!!!
- string filename_ = params().filename;
+ string filename_ = MakeAbsPath(params().filename, buf->filePath());
bool const zipped = zippedFile(filename_);
That should at least enable you to do some work.
