[feature suggestion] Relative location of image files.

ErikH2000

Myself and an artist shuttle Spine projects back and forth a lot. We both have our own copy. When either of us opens a project from the other, it's necessary to set the image paths each time.

It would be nice if Spine tried a relative path as well. Maybe good logic would be...

If the image path is in or under the path that the spine file is saved...
   Store a relative path from the spine file
Else
  Store an absolute path

Or maybe just store both an absolute and relative path. When the spine file is opened, try the absolute path first and then the relative path.

Or maybe something else. It would just be nice to avoid this little step each time a received Spine file is opened.

Spine supports a relative paths for its images.
What problem are you running into?

Ah, probably it is something we are doing wrong. Presumptuous of me to assume a feature needed to be added.

What problem are you running into?

When I open a project, all the attachments show the image missing graphic. When I look at the image path setting, it is set to some absolute path on the artist's computer (e.g. "D:\somepath\somewhere\spineprojectpath\images"

not a path that exists on mine. The problem is corrected by setting the image path again to path on my computer.

Ah, you can type 'images' in the path textbox and it should work for both of you. (assuming "spineprojectpath" is where the .spine file is)
I hope that fixes it! 🙂
