Sorry for the confusion and late reply.
The problem is that no matter if "Use relative Path" is checked or
unchecked when I create the link or when I open it, MLO always prefixes the
path that it tries to open with the database path. Example: If I select a
file to C:\Temp\2016-07-19_10-28-53.png, MLO creates a link like
"file:C:\Temp\2016-07-19_10-28-53.png" But if I click on it, it shows an
error "Could not execute "T:\Shared
Documents\MyLifeOrganized\C:\Temp\2016-07-19_10-28-53.png" which of course
it can't because it doesn't exist and is invalid. This was with "Use
relative path" unchecked both when the link was created and when it was
executed. See: http://screencast.com/t/DKtvCVco1N for an example of the
error.
It works fine with web links (i.e. http: etc.) but file links do not. I
use screenshots and PDF files a lot and it would be great if MLO would open
the links correctly.
Best regards,
