[GNC] Definition of document root

[Glenn Fowler]

Hi,

I am in the same scenario in which I have multiple books with linked
documents.

Until your feature request is implemented, what I do is use Linked Location
instead of Linked File and put the filepath there. For Windows that needs
to be: file://C:\Path\MyDocument.pdf
