Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphicspath question

[Drako]

Hi, im having a problem with the directories in which my images are being stored.

I have several .tex files on different folders but i want to maintain only 1 folder for the images and it should be bellow the .tex folders. Everything would work fine if the images and tex files werent on another computer and being shared so i can access them.

i tried to use the network path, but it doesnt work. If i put the correct path, i get as many errors as the number os images on the tex file. Strangely if i put an incorrect path i get no errors and a pdf file with no images.

im tried the following (the image folder is on D:\BACKUP_GERAL\Kelly-wise\Manuais\figuraslatex or \\kelly\Kelly-wise\Manuais\figuraslatex):

\graphicspath{{//kelly/Kelly-wise/Manuais/figuraslatex}}
\graphicspath{{"D:/BACKUP_GERAL/Kelly-wise/Manuais/figuraslatex"}}
\graphicspath{{"D:/BACKUP\_GERAL/Kelly-wise/Manuais/figuraslatex"}}
\graphicspath{{''D:/BACKUP_GERAL/Kelly-wise/Manuais/figuraslatex''}}


nothing seems to work, is it possible to use network folders for this?

thanks

The problem is probably the underscores in the directory names. Or at least that's one problem. Does it work with files in other directories on the D drive? (Those without underscores? Create some simple sample documents to test if need be...) Are the .tex files saved on the D drive too, and if so, do relative paths work?

Or mac or linux I'd suggest symlinks, but I don't know whether there's an equivalent for Windows. (It might be possible on Vista or Win7...)

I should have asked if you had tried using the grffile package first.

Just tried to use the grffile package, doesnt seem to work.

I not actually able to test other directories because all network folders that im allowed to access are under this one with an underscore.

The tex files are a few directories above the one with the images, on the same drive. Trying to build the tex from my computer with the network address (//kelly/Kelly-wise/Manuais/figuraslatex) does not work either.

I dont think graphicspath works with network folders at all, is there another package for this?
