image paths in wings3D? - giannis196 - 08-08-2015

I wanted to strip the texture path (to make it filename only) to be short like "textures\TheTexture.JPG"
But i could not find where the path is to change it.

I would simply erase the long texture path, leaving it only from the "textures" and then.
Maybe i would put the prefix "//" so it would be like "//textures\TheTexture.JPG"

So, how i can strip the image paths in Wings3D?

Thanks!

There is no place to define that.
Wings stores the full path to the image location in the project file.

I use to separate the images/textures in a folder under the main project's folder, so I would to prefer it could be stored as a relative path and then I could move the project to another place without have problems with them.

I would prefer in the next versions of wings3D to have a strip texture path option (even for the non-native export forms as and where it is possible)

This option is very userful, what if someone wants to present hes/her project in another room which have got another computer?
(or something similar that is not possible to have got the same directory because the maps will be located at different disc with different paths?)

Thanks!
