File paths

Relative paths

The Plugin calculates paths only relative to the project(module) folder, all links to files placed outbound of the zone, will be saved as absolute ones. It is possible to disable saving of relative paths and use only absolute ones through plugin options (facet in IDEA). An Absolute file path has special mark on mind map.
