Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/generic path mode

When referencing paths in exported files you may want some control as to the method used since absolute paths may only be correct on you're own system whereas relative paths are more portable but mean you have to keep you're files grouped when moving about on you're local file system.

In some cases the path doesn't matter since the target application will search a set of pre-defined paths anyway so you have the option to strip the path too.

Here are explanations of what the path options do.

• Auto: Uses relative paths for files which are in a subdirectory of the exported location, absolute for any directories outside that.
• Absolute: Uses full paths.
• Relative: Uses relative paths in every case (except when on a different drive on windows).
• Match: Uses relative / absolute paths based on the paths used in blender.
• Strip Path: Only write the filename and omit the path component.
• Copy: Copy the file on exporting and reference it with a relative path.
