shared name mapping file sometimes uses full path name
Hi,
We have a ProjectSuite with a number of projects, that all share the same name mapping. After moving the complete project tree to another location, I got an error trying to open the project "Unable to create the 'Name Mapping' element, because the ....\NameMapping.tcNM file does not exist."
After a little digging, I found that the <Prp name="relpath"> node in the project .mds file contained the FULL path name to the old location of the NameMapping.tcNM file (not a relative path). After changing to a relative path, the project could be opened.
I have tried to reproduce the problem by creating new projects and adding the same existing name mapping to the new project, but always I get a relative pathname in the mds file.
Is this a known issue or anybody have any idea what could have caused this?
