PAC Display's Relative Path feature does not save files to the correct location

Applies To:

PAC Display Basic
PAC Display Professional

Versions Affected:

Versions affected: R9.4a through Beta build B9.5d
Problem is fixed in version: R9.6a

Resolved In Version:

Problem is fixed in version: R9.6a

Symptoms:

If you select the "Make Path Relative to Project" check box when configuring a folder for files such as SuperTrends, recipes, and historical logs, and then you save the PAC Display project to a different folder, the files are not saved in the relative path. Instead, they are saved to the originally configured location.

For example, a PAC Display project is saved in: C:\proj\
Its historical log files are configured to be saved in: C:\proj\data\
Make Path Relative to Project is checked.
In this example, the relative path is: .\data\

Later, you save the project to: C:\temp\newpproj\
PAC Display should save the historical log files to the relative path: C:\temp\newpproj\data\
However, the files are instead saved to the original path: C:\proj\data\
