Relative File Paths

I just switched from XMind 8 to Zen.  I setup relative file paths and have a many links in my xmind files.  I don't see how to use relative file paths in Zen.  This is disappointing because I have a lot of paths and need to use Zen on two computers.  I also don't want to have to update all my paths when I install a new computer.  Is there a way to have relative file paths in Zen and if not, can this be added as a feature?  Honestly, why not have this as the default behavior for links to other xmind files?

  Hi.I'm new to XMind (Zen and 8). As you said above, did you mean that XMind 8 support relative file path? I'm also wondering why they use an absolute file link but not a relative one.

  Anyway, there is a workaround to this problem: Use a symbol link that has an absolute path which XMind required but refers to your actual path. On Windows, the command should be looked like: mklink     /D     path/XMind/required    your/actual/path
