Hello Nicolas and Jambunathan,

Many thanks, to you both, for such quick and detailed responses!

I look forward to checking things out later today.

And yes, +1 to Bastien for recommending!


Regarding your notes on image and file paths:

The "g:/" is a Windows artifact, indicating the  drive. On Unix
systems, root "/" is unique; on Windows there can be many drives
indicated by letters at the root (c:/, d:/, .. z:/). The most common
default for first hard disk is "c:/", but other letters are often used.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment

I think that it would be generally useful to be able to remove
the drive letter, so that c:/ or g:/ is transposed into just /
so that when the link-string is passed to a publishing system,
such as Drupal, it can easily digest it for further processing.

Thanks again for all your work on this!
