Subject: changing pathnames in save files.

hi Tom,

a few questions/remark that came up since I started
working with different people on the same assignment
project, and at different locations.

I tried to use relative pathnames in the .save files
because I want to be able to work on the same project
at different locations, where the ucsf files might be
in different paths. So I would usually make a processed_data
directory where I collect softlinks to all the ucsf file
and point the save files to the softlinks. e.g.

pathname Save/../../processed_data/hnca.ucsf

now I find that after saving the project or save-file
the pathname is changed to the full path (but strangely
this doesnt seem to happen always). I dont like this
behaviour because it forces me to change the pathnames by hand
every time I copy savefiles from one location to another.

Is there a way to disable the renaming of the pathnames?
[I have the impression the same behaviour occurs for
the references to the .save files in the .proj files,
I would also like to be able to disable that]

And on a similar note, the peaknumbers are renumbered every time
a peak is deleted. this makes it difficult to easily compare
.save files that have been worked on by different people for
example by using something like (xx)diff. It would also
be nice if this feature could be disabled, or only executed
on demand. I dont have the impression that the peak-nrs are
use for anything anyway....

kind regards,

Eiso
