Relative Paths in Property Inspector

[Brian Milby]

Just clarifying that the two are not interchangeable. From the OP, I don’t
think ~/ links would be used at all. I am not saying that we should include
the ./ but that when discussing relative links for assets that the fixed
point should be the stack location and not something anchored to the
profile location. This would mean that all of the Dropbox/Google
Drive/network share stuff would work as expected. You could also zip a
stack with the associated assets and as long as the structure was preserved
another user could unzip and use the stack.
