Is there an option to enable the use of relative paths in the project files?
From the look of get_session_file_string(), no.
I remember such a discussion taking place some time ago. It was not so straightforward - for example, what about the files not under the project directory? Store /var/log/foo as [../]{N times}/var/log/foo? Or, for files in a nearby directory, break them each time you copy the project and open it from the new location? (Well the last operation is dangerous currently - you'll be working on the previous files.)
It would have been nice to store anything under the project directory as relative, and everything outside as absolute, but some of the developers opposed even to that, can't remember why. There was also talk about storing each filename as both relative and absolute, and try to open the relative first. I thought that was implemented, but don't see it anywhere. So, for now, what you see in the title is what you get.
