Public bug reported:

ie> if I created a project in 
    /home/TED/picture/myproject.osp 
which elements as images, sounds, etc... reside on a sub directory like 
    /home/TED/picture/000 
if I copy the whole file structure of ../picture on a computer which the user is Sally, thus having a path structure pointing to
    /home/SALLY/picture/myproject.osp
Openshot, opening the project will give error because it will unsuccessfully look for /home/TED/picture/000/ trying to retrieve the project elements.

So, please notice that saving in the project file a relative path to the
imported media instead, will give the ability to carry out on any PC
your project.
