Hi,
When I drag an image into Inkscape, the image path is absolute. Is ther a way to make Inskscape using relative path ("../pics/mypic.png") by default? It's useful when I move my working folder on another computer.
thanks

One approach you could use is to embed your images in the svg file. Effects -> Images -> Embed All Images
There are probably other ways to do it too.

Thanks! usefull tip.
I second this! I would love to see relative paths.
A note: if the path is broken but the image is in the same directory where the .svg file is, sometimes inkscape can "see" the image anyway. Not consistently though, I wonder if it works for certain image formats only?

When you first import an image, its xlink:href is indeed absolute. But when you save your SVG, it becomes relative, because it is normalized upon save.

I believe that also avoiding going up in the hierarchy would work currently.
That is, try having your images at the same or child directory of your .svg.
