Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by @jrantanen on 10 Dec 2010

Currently you need to edit the import manually and get the paths correct. There are two usecases:

  • import is already in use in some of the opened suites/resources
  • import is not yet in use at all

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to begin with. First map how RIDE currently handles resource and library imports, then investigate both cases described: an import already used in an opened suite or resource, and an import not yet used; done means the import can be added without manually correcting paths.
