Non abslolute image path option with the collada exporter. - tkbd - 06-14-2020
In currently, Wings3D collada exporter save textures with full path.
For example, As described below by some tags in the dae file...
Quote:<image id="tpng-img" name="png-img"><init_from>/User/user/myhdd/3d_data/texture.png</init_from></image>
But this doesn't work well when move the dae file to another directory or give the file to someone else.
In fact, until now I was replacing the part in the saved dae file by text editor.(Just like below., It work fine.)
Quote:<image id="png-img" name="png-img"><init_from>texture.png</init_from></image>
Would you like to add feature that an option to exclude the absolute file path when dae file export?
(Note: This means doesn't deny saving with an absolute path.Absolute paths ,relative path and filename only have their advantages.)
Best regards

Currently all exporters use to include the file path in the image reference (except by POV-Ray which I made it relative a couple of years ago when I reviewed it
).So, it's something to be evaluated by the main devs.
