Yes, I have. Actually that is what I use currently, my problem is not to
get the relative path eventually but to know if the user wants a relative
or absolute path. The two scenarios that require it are:
1. The user uses an image from the clipart => absolute directory(?)
2. The user has a document in the same directory or under the directory of
the document, I believe I should use a relative directory in case the user
will move the files somewhere else (in the same tree format).
It's rather hard to decide when to use relative dirs and when not to,
currently I use solely relative dirs for ease of implementation, I've
written this as a TODO/PROBLEM thing and will only bother really tackling
it after the I get a version out that replaces InsetFig, this is low
priority.
