This problem has been reported several years ago but it still hasn't been resolved in version 8.1. When I create a new project located in a remote directory (e.g. \\server.us\myHome\myProject), all source files will be created with absolute paths. Here is an example of file properties:

Item
Name: main.cpp
File Path: //server.us/myHome/myProject/main.cpp
Full Path: \\server.us\myHome\myProject\main.cpp
Last Modified: 

As can be seen, "File path" is an absolute path even I have set "Always relative" in Tools -> Options -> C/C++. It causes at least two serious problems for me:

1. You cannot use generated Makefile to build the project remotely since paths in Makefile are absolute paths and don't match the path on the server.

2. The header file cannot be found by code assistance because the statement #include "header.h" indicates a relative path, but we only have a header file with "//server.us/myHome/myProject/header.h".

The correct one should be:

Item
Name: main.cpp
File Path: main.cpp
Full Path: \\server.us\myHome\myProject\main.cpp

Please solve this problem ASAP, or provide an alternative solution.
Thanks.
