> Win 10 & Ubuntu 20.02 Gramps 5.1.3 Hello, I would like to store my data on a NAS server and edit them both from Windows and from a Linux computer (Ubuntu). This works fine with the database. As I understand it, each computer actually stores its relative media path locally. On the Windows system this goes, also only with the Ubuntu system I always get an error. In addition, I see under relative media path in the GUI also always the Windows path. What am I doing wrong?
