Subject: Forcing absolute paths 2005-07-05 - By Bernard Lebel

Thanks for the tips, Kim.
Well, that's a bit of a problem. The reason is I'm trying to force UNC
paths for every image sources, as the first step of getting rid of
mounted drives from the pipeline. To do this, I have two events that
will rebuild the path from scratch if it finds out it's not an UNC
path.
This is what it used to do, until I found out the script would rebuild
relative paths as well! I modified my script to consider only paths
that use a ":" as the second path character.
But I'd still like to be able to force those UNC paths.
Cheers
Bernard
