I'm having trouble figuring out why you need a symbolic link ..... Our survey data is stored something like this
./cavename contains svx files ./cavename/notes scans of notes ./cavename/segments scraps cut from notes Here I am a little unsure what the other Philip has done ./cavename/therion contains files for therion I believe that the other Philip's problem is that therion does not like it when you refer to scraps like this ../segment/file.png, but I am not 100% certain of this. So he creates a symbolic link to work around the original problem. Philip Stacho Mudrak wrote: > We would like to keep files portable.
