Another SimpleIDE recommendation

When adding files to project by using the 'Add File Link' context menu, the reference to the file contains the full path name. That makes a project sensitive to the absolute location in the file system and makes it very hard to work on a project on multple computers (for example by versioning the source code but having the root directory different).

Is it possible to make these references relative to the project root, as opposed to absolute?

I'll look at this. Meanwhile the work-around is to use "Save As Project" in the current directory. That will convert fixed path links to relative path links for the new project.

The "Save As" trick works, but it also makes a copy of the file with the 'main' function under the new project's name. Another thing that I realized works is to just edit the .side file by hand.

Thanks!
