I have done a complete rewrite of relative and absolute path support in OpenShot, to work as the JSON is read and write. It uses regex to quickly find all mentions of "path": or "image": , and converts the paths as needed: absolute when loading a project, and relative when saving. Even better, it also catches all paths in the undo/redo history, and fully supports @transitions relative paths.
I've done quite a bit of testing on Linux, and this seems to work much better than the previous approach. I need to now test on Windows and Mac, to verify this has no OS dependencies.
