Hi,

All is in the way you are set.  I work for a team on arcgis and  
relative path, since many user and many data source, doesn't do the  
job... it's more flexible by just having to make the same letters in  
each user.  We try relative paths and it was a mess.

So the best way it's to, like in arcgis, let the user specify  
relative or absolute path for the project.

Also, like I said before, if a tool like xtool paths manager could be  
included in gv_sig, all user could be happy.  Relative or absolute  
path user.
