Relative File/URL Links
I found a different workaround to hide the Resources tab that also does not require Javascript.
You need to have Resources turned on in the Player, but then you can do a Select All of your entire project (all the slides) and then under Slide Properties > Player Features, change the dropdown from "Player defaults" to "Custom for the selected slides." Then uncheck the Resources box (which will hide it from every slide). I tested this for multiple projects and it worked. When I preview the project in Player, it still shows the Resources tab, but when we put the file in our LMS (Absorb) it correctly hides the Resources tab from every slide.
This entire thread has been invaluable. We had been struggling for so long with this problem of broken links when passing files between developers, and the suggested workaround worked really well for us.
The same problem occurs because Storyline stores the the absolute path of the published file.
Unfortunately, none of the above workarounds will help if we want to show the Resources tab and exclude the hidden external file from the Resources list.
Like all others above have said, when we get the .story file from our source code control after it has been checked in by someone else, we have to find all the broken links and re-import them.
Storing absolute paths is the worst design decision ever.
This should now be fixed, Storyline has been storing resources inside the file for the last few versions
If I add a trigger action to open a file then browse to a file, the file is not stored in the .story file. An absolute path to the file is stored instead. When another author opens the .story file, Storyline can't find the file because the absolute path on another user's computer isn't valid.
