Hei, the solution in the nightly built is that one will be asked to point to the file location if a file is not found. As far as i remember it also assumes that the other files are at the same position.
but note: this solution is implemented in Openjump and not Jump. Thus if you have done an extension it is still usefull stefan Geoffrey G Roy wrote: >I have found it useful to develop an extension that allows me to move >mapping projects (collections of files) around in my file system.
