[fixed in mi3.52]?Bug v3.51 - relative links not working

Not sure if this is a bug or not

I have options set to 'relative links whenever possible'

this works fine for links to files. However when I link to a document in a different topic, the hyperlink is NOT relative, but rather points to the specific filepath, including the disk drive letter. As my topics are on a USB key this is going to cause problems!

Of course I could keep all the important stuff in one topic - but my main topic is already v big (2.5megs) - what is the max size I should be looking at for topics?

Thanks

Nick

We will fix the problem with the relative links.

File size of 2.5 MB is pretty normal. Even 10 MB files should work just fine.

Thanks

So why do you suggest people have lots of topics? I seem to remember somewhere in the help file a suggestion that a topic with a hundred or so documents was 'large'. Why not keep everything in a single topic?

It much easier to browse several topics with documents related to the same theme, than to browse in one huge topic.
