BSCW can convert path names as shown in the 'Your Position:' field of a folder view into the corresponding BSCW internal addresses. This allows you to use this common format of relative path addresses to define references to objects in a workspace of BSCW, especially from other objects in that workspace.
For example, consider a document Article.html
that contains an image Image.gif and references a second
document Document2.html. The text of Article.html
might then contain the following information:
< img src="Bild.gif">
...
<a
href="Document2.html">Document 2</a>
If the three files Article.html,
Image.gif and Document2.html are located in one
folder, BSCW will convert the references correctly and display the requested
files.
Files in subfolders, in folders further up the folder tree
or in another branch of the folder tree may be addressed in the same way, using
the usual UNIX notation. For example, if the image file Bild.gif is
located in the subfolder Bilder and the second document is located
in a folder Documents of the subfolder weitere, BSCW will convert
the following references correctly:
< img src="Images/picture.gif">
...
<a
href="more/documents/document2.html">Document 2</a>
Likewise, if the document document2.html contains
a reference
<a href="../../article. html">preceding
document</a>
and Article.html is located two folder levels
up relative to Document2.html.
