wrestling with referenced graphics pointers

[David Spreadbury]

Ben,
If you change the directory name you have changed the relative path to the
graphics.

The path must stay the same, relative to the source files.

One solution would be to store the graphics in the same tree as the source
files, i.e.,

BookFolder
--|SourceFiles
--|Graphics

Then when the source files look for the graphics, they are at the same
relative level but in a different folder. When you archive, change the date
of the BookFolder, not the SourceFile or Graphics folders.

Hi,

Wondering if folks have thoughts on how adding the date to a document
directory name each time a draft is archived could impact the pathname of
the referenced graphics.

Seems like I've had some cases where the referenced graphics pointers get
lost because the folder name has changed, and other cases where the
referenced graphics pointers remain accurate, or am I imagining this?

For project reasons, the archived copy needs to open without errors, so
re-homing the graphics directory after the fact is not an option.

Thanks for any wisdom from the collective guru!

Ben
