Regarding file linking, the documentation website 8.20 "Link to files and folders" has helped quite a bit. However, some questions remain..

 

a)

I understand that IQ will modify the links if a linked file is moved to a different directory only if the linked file is stored in the files directory of the database directory.

 

I think this possibility to move the file and have IQ adjust the link accordingly is brilliant, however I often will not be able to put all linked files within the database directory...;-(

 

And with relative linking outside the database directory, IQ would not adjust the links in case a file is moved, right?

 

This leads me to the question / suggestion:

Would it be possible to have a setting in IQ (i.e. in Data Storage) where the user can define the location of the "files directory"? This would really help as I would not have to change the storage policy, and you could even define a network drive as your files directory where anybody can have access to the files and even though, the user can link those in IQ and have the links update automatically. What do you think, Pierre?

 

b)

How do I tell IQ to do relative linking by default? How do I change absolute links to relative ones without editing each one manually?

 

 

Thanks a lot for your answers!

 

Best regards
