I'm on beta 7.
When I open the Get Info window on a file, and deselect the "Save as absolute path" checkbox, then close the Get Info window and re-open it, the checkbox is checked again. Is this a known bug/feature? I'm trying to convert all my project references to relative so that I can move the project between different users on my machine.
Best, Erich

I wasn't aware of this, but it seems to be a bug.
The problem seems to be, that if you have once made the path absolute, it's sticky.
Normally, non-absolute is the default.
I don't know how complex your project is, but probably the easiest to do (while this bug exists) is to just create a new one (and don't touch the check box for the new one ;) ).
When you create a new project, it is possible simply to drag files and folders from the old project to the new.
Another option is to edit the .tmproj file. If you open it with the 'tm' tool, it will open as text.

I was using the Xcode project import tool from the repository, and it imported some of my files with absolute paths.

I tried that, but my project uses lots of groups which don't drag over. Could you add group dragging as a feature request?

That's what I ended up doing. Thanks for the help!
