The present Report Generator 'Options' tab allows linking to images in an absolute path for local (c:\..) and web server http:// or network path \\server\.. rather than being copied to that location.

I would like to be able to link to pre-existing photos in a relative path e.g. the default pictures/ or say ../../photos/. This is for two reasons.

 Firstly I generally want to prepare the photos for Web access. I therefore run a GenoPro report generation that collects the photos into one folder, i.e. pictures/ . I then run Irfanview in batch mode on that folder to resize the photos and change jpeg compression to make then suitable for Web access. Having done this once I don't want to run Irfanview again when I next run the report after modifying the data (not photos).

Secondly I want my photos in a relative path rather than an absolute one so that I can easily migrate it from local disc to Web server without changes.

So rather than the present three check boxes in the Report Generator Options tab could there be just one that causes images to be linked to pre-existing files wherever they are, that location being specified by the _pathpictures parameter? Or failing that have a fourth checkbox for relative path?
