Upgrade StorageI suggest that zotero to support setting local relative path.
SUGGESTION：
I suggest that zotero to support setting local relative path.
For example, I have two PCs, A and B. A is running windows, on which my papers(pdf files) locate at D:\Dropbox\papers. While, B is running linux, on which my papers locate at /home/myname/Dropbox/papers. Initially, I link my papers on windows with path D:\Dropbox\papers\.... Then I sync my zotero config to server then to my linux machine B, but the at this time, all papers still link to D:\.... which is not a accessible path. If I change the path to the linux path, then my windows will get unaccessible path either.
So. I urgently hope that I can set a "root path" for all linked files, and all file paths stored in zotero use relative path to the "root path". Then, I can only set the root path to "D:\Dropbox\papers" on windows and to "/home/myname/Dropbox/papers" on linux and keep synced links work on both platforms.
