for all use cases where the xoj and the pdf file are close to each other in the file system (eg, ~/foo/pdfs/bar.pdf and ~/foo/bar.pdf.xoj), relative paths would be useful. possible solutions include
* have a per-document or global (maybe both) option to specify whether to use relative or absolute paths
* store both and fall back from absolute to relative
I agree that this would be a useful feature. I often move directory structures containing PDF's and .xoj files between machines (where I don't always have the same username, etc.), and having to re-point the xournal files when I open them is a pain. Saving the .xoj files in the same directory as the PDF's (with the 'attach' option) would not be a clean solution for my directory structure.
I would also like to be able to send a large batch of PDF's arranged into something like:
Papers/2004/ - lots of PDF's
Papers/2005/ - lots of PDF's
...
Annotations/ - a few .xoj files for the papers we're working on
...to another person, and have the .xoj files work "out of the box" no matter where the recipient extracts that package.
