Currently the metadata file stores absolute paths to .flac, .dicom, .TextGrid, cached images, etc.

It would be better if paths were saved as (and reconstructed based on being) relative to the directory the metadata file is in. The primary reason for this is that it will allow tracing to work on multiple systems when the metadata file is tracked by git.
