Is there a way to create a new merged image with the changes so as not to change the original? - I noticed that images refer to their base image using an absolute path. Is there a way to change an image's base image reference? (for example when the base image is renamed / moved to a different directory) -- David Roberts :) http://kavenc.sf.net/
