Bug ID: 302286
Severity: minor
Version: 2.0.5
Priority: NOR
Assignee: ***@kde.org
Summary: Add an option to store only relative path in kst file
Classification: Unclassified
OS: MS Windows
Reporter: ***@eurocopter.com
Hardware: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: kst

I work a lot with "generic" kst file, that I generate once. When this template
kst file is ready, I copy it to all the directory where I want to perform the
analysis.

I really wnat to be sure that kst looks only in the current directory, and do
not open file stored elsewhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a kst file, where 2 data file are needed
2. move the kst file to another directory, where only one data file is present
(the other is not present if the records failed for example)
3. open the moved kst file,
Actual Results:
kst will mix data file from the directory of point 2 (normal behavior) and
directory of point 1 (for the file not found in point 1)

Expected Results:
I would appreciate two options under "save as" for instance called "save with
relative" and "save with absolute".
The "save with relative" will store for the "file" tag the same value as the
"fileRelative"
The "save with absolute" will store for the "fileRelative" tag the same value
as the "file"

Today, I edit the kst in an editor to get rid of these absolute reference :)
