Is it possible to change link paths from absolute to relative?

My company uses Dropbox to synchronize all our design files between all the computers in the designer. Currently our Illustrator files are too large (500 + MB) because we incorporate images. We must maximize save/download time and the space occupied by these files, if we put in place a folder structure that allows us to make a link to the images that we will store them in a folder.

Our structure of folder for the related files: CUSTOMER/PROJECT of NAME NAME/Version/assets/Linked Files/linkedFile.png

Our folder structure for the Illustrator comps: CUSTOMER NAME/PROJECT NAME/Version/Designs/Platform/Device/uiComp.ai

Unfortunately, Illustrator seems to refer to absolute paths for each linked file and each user has a different structure where their Dropbox folder.

Designer 1 Dropbox path: /jessi/user/Dropbox /

Designer 2 Dropbox path: / Volumes/Dropbox / (he holds on an external drive)

Designer 3 Dropbox path: / Users/rusty/Dropbox /

For this reason, if another designer opens a file, all the links are broken. If the paths are relative, it would work.

We all use. Adobe Illustrator CC (2014)

Unfortunately you can not change the paths of the link to relative

Let us know if this works with CC 2014

  • Change all links to the site from absolute to relative

    So I'll try to make an individual link to absolute to relative, however, it is an image file to a favicon. When I change all the links of the site normally makes the link on the page all the "images/favicon.ico', but this does not work for pages not on the root of the site. So, how can I do this correctly?

    I use DW CS4.

    I don't know what you're asking.  But by this root favicon of the site link, you should be fine in all pages.

    Search for "href = images/favicon.ico""and replace with"href="/images/favicon.ico".

  • Is it possible to change the paths of stars in raw with the Ps button?

    I have a nikon d5300 and only nikon 10-24F3, 5 and 50 mmF1, 8

    PS Touch has support for RAW * but * it is a bit limited to import * and * they must be uploaded to cloud any PS and creative touch like that.

    Still, there is no any support RAW/features beyond import, so no settings don't like exposure, reflections, shadows, that sort of thing.

  • is it possible to change the programically application icon?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change an icon from the app itself, IE on the writing of the file of the icon or the change of the. Bar, etc. I know that I don't have write access to the assets ect but is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you

    Hello-

    You cannot change the descriptor of bar or resource assets in bars signed and sealed, except through an update/version of the software.

    An alternative, could by removing & recreate application on the homescreen shortcuts but this is not possible using the current SDK. This may be available on upcoming kits.

    Why do you want to change the icon of the application programmatically?

    Thank you

  • Build a path from scratch?

    Is it possible to generate a path from an expression or a script? A sine wave via "Math.Sin ()" for example.

    As far as I know that it is possible to define a path to the content of another way?

    You can create a path with a script, but not the expression. With a script, you can set the vertex points and tangent handle control points, so you could generate an approximation of a sine wave bezier, for example, but it wouldn't be right.

  • Change the path to the e-mail templates

    Hello

    I'm setting up the electronic part of the store, and I need to change the path models because I changed the path of the store (crs /... no longer exists.) Now it's mystorename /...).
    Everything in searching the files I found a few + .properties that define the templateUrl to e-mails, such as email a friend and a forgotten password email templates.

    Although there are some E-mail templates that does not have the property files defining its functions. So, I looked a bit more and discovered that some of the e-mail templates are defined by scenarios, such as "Order Confirmation", "Shipped" and "abandoned order Promo."

    Their traces of origin are: ATG Commerce reference Store:/emailtemplates/templatename.jsp, which reads as crs/emailtemplates/templatename.jsp. I need to change the "/ src" to "/ mystorename" to find the right path, but when I click on 'choose the model mail... ". "I get the following error:

    Maybe it's because /crs no longer exists... And now I can not select the path to mystore.

    Why does that happen? Is it possible to change the path to the right pair?

    If anyone has a suggestion or a solution please reply as soon as possible.

  • Change the path to the updates from microsoft updates vs. windows

    Fully updated, xp pro, ie8

    When you click Start, all programs, windows update, go to the updates of microsoft with the compatibility view

    which connection online for microsoft updates gets updates microsoft without compatibility view

    can I change the path for my start, all programs, windows updates to be updated from microsoft without view compatibiliy?

    Edit: have reinstalled os with a sp3 slipstreamed cd.

    Edit2: no sites are not listed in my compatibility view settings.

    There is no need to uninstall/reinstall MSE.

    1. open IE (only!) to Microsoft Update . Click change settings in the left pane. Scroll to the bottom of the page. To stop using Microsoft Update. Disable the Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

    1B. Reboot for good measure.

    2. your shortcut on the start menu should now be updated to Windows . [1] use it (not the Tools menu pull-down option) to go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate. Assuming that it does NOT open in compatibility mode...

    3. "Flip" your source of default update appropriate Microsoft update by clicking on the option / link on the main page of Windows Update (IIRC).

    3B. reboot for good measure & test to see if the Microsoft Update shortcut on your Start menu will however open IE8 in compatibility view.

    PS: I don't have a WinXP box handy to test myself, but the last time I used the Microsoft Update shortcut on one of my client computers, it has not opened in compatibility view. As far as I know, MS may have changed something since then so YMMV.

    =============================================================
    [1] If you persevere with Windows Update as a source of update by default, MSE will always be 'auto-update' [even thought that Windows Update will offer more optional updates Defs] but will offer no updates to the ESM (e.g. new versions MSE) program or updates for MS Office, Silverlight, or Skype .

  • Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to Play/Pause/Stop buttons

    Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to play/Pause and the Stop button?
    Because network alone and media buttons can be changed by the software.
    And I'd rather not WMP for my favorite media player.

    Unfortunately, the buttons are configured with WMP (if the CD is inserted) and WinDVD (if the DVD is inserted).
    I guess that you can not use buttons with 3rd party applications.

  • Is it possible to change the language of my computer. From Spanish to English. It's a sony vaio with Windows XP

    It's a sony vaio pcv-w200m. Sold only in Latin America. Bought one and it would be so easy to change the language. Just need to know if I have any hope to convert the language from Spanish to English?

    Hello

    If you have installed Windows XP on your computer and you are using the Spanish version, you can change the operating system to accept the entries of the language of other languages supported, such as English. This will help enter you commands and text in languages other than Spanish, making it easier to use the operating system in your native language.

    (a) click on 'start '. Select the "Control Panel", and then open the section ' Date, time, language and Regional Options ".

    (b) click on the button "Add other languages", click the "Languages" tab and then click on the button "Details".

    (c) change the setting from "Default input language" in English, and then click the OK"" button.

    (d) computer and changing the settings is applied to the computer.

    For example, I need on this page:

    When I click on TLUMIČE - I want the name change of page for: zveropark I tlumiče

    Thank you, Elena

    You would need to change the name of the page or the name of the anchor, if you use the anchor to link to the specific page section.

    I checked the site and it seems that you made the separate pages for each section that works correctly now?

    Thank you
