I have installed Kile on Windows (using KDE for windows) on both my desktop at uni (running XP) and at home (running 7). I've already written some 80% of my thesis in another editor which has lately become laggy (the reason for trying to switch to Kile), so I created a project for my thesis and added my existing thesis file structure to the project.
Everything worked well on my uni computer. So I saved it, made a copy to the server, and went home. Having gotten home I have downloaded that copy off the server and attempted to open the project, but Kile complains that it expects to see the files in a different path.
The .kilepr file has absolute paths specified for all the files in the project making it impossible to use the project across different computers (or even from a different directory in the same computer).
Is there a way to specify relative paths to .tex files in the .kilepr file?

Re: Kile Projects and Paths
I have found a work around: Manually edit all the paths in the kilepr file to paths relative to the kilepr file.
It works but it is a kludge and I wouldn't call it a solution to this problem.
If anyone has any other suggestions to avoid this in the first place please let me know.
