Inclusion of external files doesn't work properly

[Gianluca Borello]

Binary package hint: texmaker

When I click on one of the three functions to include a file (Latex Menu/ include-input-includegraphics), a file chooser window is opened, and when I select a file to include its path is not reported correctly, for example:

My master document is ~/projects/document.tex
If i choose to include the image ~/projects/images/picture.png, the program generates the output \includegraphics{picture.png} while the correct string should be \includegraphics{images/picture.png}.
I attached a very simple patch that calculate the relative path between the document and the file being included (I found the algorithm from Kile's sources).

To get your fix included in Ubuntu, try transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submitting it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess).

Setting to In Progress.

Debdiff based on Gianluca's patch + some minor fix. Built, installed and tested.
I am going to open a bug report on Debian too.

I still have this behaviour on jaunty September 2009, graphics are included
with only the filename and no path.
