[Bf-funboard] Re: Feature request: relative filenames for linked .blend files

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

For library blocks you cannot edit this yet. What I added is that you  
can use it for new libraries. Changing it later on would be possible  
with a button yes, but that's another code project (probably in  
Oopswindow) that's being worked on.

-Ton-

(the trick you could do; surgery of the .blend file itself. Change the  
filenames with a texteditor in the new ones, now starting with a "//".  
Keep in mind to end strings with a NULL character, and not to change  
the filesize!)
