Absolute paths on import

Bugs
1

When I’m using import feature on FBX, TouchDesigner creates the relevant files in “Import” folder next to the project file. I would expect the paths in created OPs to be relative, but they are absolute.

If I move the project folder the OPs won’t be able to find files. Also the project is not macOS/Windows compatibile as the paths are OS specific: “/Volumes/X” vs “X:/”.

Is this a bug? I think the paths should always be relative for imported media.

I’m running experimental 2018.21150.

jup. The importer is not ideal. If you strip everything in front of the “Import/” it will be relative. If you are starting with a new file, be sure to save the toe file first in the desired location.

Sorry about the clunky-ness. As boompje says that is one way to get them relative. We are working on FBX importing overhaul so stay tuned, but for now this is the state of the Import Dialog.
