[Gvsig_english] saving project storing relative path names to layer sources

[Sergio Clark]

Hello Ernesto,

Yes, that is a good idea. We've been discussing about it recently, and 
we're looking for the best solution. Maybe introduce a checkbox with the 
option Absolute or Relative Path when creating a project, in order to 
solve this problem of portability on different workstations.

For the moment (it's not the same but also helps the users ;-)) it has 
been implemented the option for choosing a new path when gvSIG doesn't 
find the original path of a layer, because layer has been moved or we're 
working in a different workstation. With this, users could see, layer by 
layer, which have not been found and introduce the correct new path. 
This new option is implemented for gvSIG future version 1.2.

Regards! And thanks for your suggestion.

Sergio.
