It would be nice if there's a solution project files also, then we can move the project around where we want.
However:
> Case 1) Resources are inside the project folder (store the relative path)
> Case 2) Resources are outside the project folder (store the absolute path)
This is a personal preference: copy or do not copy the resources. My preference is to *not* the resources, but I guess others do not follow this.
But this is a different subject from the thumbnail problem. If the thumbnail problem is solved by using a relative path in the project file, Openshot will be more flexible than it was, regarding moving project files.
