System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 457.30

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-24 16:25, hash: 02948a2cab
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Opening a Blender file from another folder with a relative path changes the relative paths to libraries so that there are too many "../" in the paths.

Opening without a relative path (how should look like): Opening with a relative path:
paths_before.jpg paths_after.jpg

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
For easy recreation of the issue, I uploaded a zip file with a folder structure, an example file and a bat file to execute the .blend file with a relative path.
To start the test:

  • Extract the zip file
  • Edit the execute/launch_test.bat file to point to your blender.exe directory
  • launch execute/launch_test.bat

rel_path_test.zip

I can confirm.
Apparently the problem only happens on Windows.

This has been coming up during Sprite Fright a number of times, and am requesting bumping prio on this.
Animators would report files breaking after using Save As to save the file somewhere else, then reloading the file. The paths end up looking like this:
image.png

And after File->External Data->Find Missing Files, aka the correct paths, should be this:
image.png

So for our case it's actually a case of not enough "../", unlike in the report, but I can only assume it's the same issue.

I've had this reported by an animator in the past who was not working on Windows at the time, so I think it might not be windows-specific, but I certainly cannot reproduce on my Linux machine. I can test later on Windows too though, with the attached .bat file.

@Mets this has nothing really to do with current report, which is a problem at opening a blend file with relative path from command line essentially...

Will fix that one, please make proper report for the issue that is 'super urgent'...
