Relative Paths about bulk-ingestron HOT 2 OPEN

Hello @jerrycrosbytt , to my knowledge there is not. A relative path still is ultimately used as an absolute path when something needs to work with it. Being relative just means that a decision is made before using it as an absolute path what the implied root path is, usually based on context. What that implied root path (if any) would be in the context of processing evidence (and whether it would be consistent) is unclear to me.

My guess would be that relative paths (if they don't have errors) would be relative to the Nuix executable as I would imagine that the Nuix process working directory would be assumed as the root of relative paths. I imagine you want it to be relative to the case though, so this wouldn't be that helpful if it worked anyways.

Spitballing a few ideas with the assumption you are looking to make a case and it's data a bit more portable:

• Use stored binary in the case when processed. This would likely be the most straightforward approach if it meets your needs.
• Always place the evidence in a directory like C:\Evidence with a sub directory that clearly associates it with the relevant case. For example if the case is named Matter002A then the evidence for that case could be stored in C:\Evidence\Matter002A. Its not as simple as a single copy operation, but probably keeps it relatively simple still.
