It inserts the relative name if the file is in the same directory (1.3.5cvs, qt, I have no older version anymore). It does not if the file is above, e. g. ../../other/dir/a.eps gets converted to the absolute path, but I believe that this is on purpose. Maybe a checkbox "Use relative path" would be useful for these cases that cannot be decided automatically. Georg
