Using relative paths for assets?

What is the best way to use relative paths for the assets I use in Pixel Composer projects (or is it even currently possible?) ? I typically work on a couple of different workstations and would like for my projects to be portable.

You can use relative path just by renaming the path property (see how the image is saved in getting started project for example). Pixel Composer will search for the same directory of the project first, then search for the entire device.

Unfortunately you can’t change the path property of an image array. In the current version (v1.0.9) you have to edit the save file by opening the .pxc file in a text editor and replace the path manually.

The save file is simply a single line .json file, in vscode, you can use beautify to format it and search for absolute paths.

Excellent! Thank you for the explanation!
