Issue description
Konstantin Dmitriev:

Usually, if you open Synfig file, containing images, and using "Save as" to save it into another place, then all image paths are transformed to correctly point to the new location.

But if you animate Filename parameter of the image layer, then during "Save as" operation the paths are not transformed and you loose your image data.
Steps to reproduce this issue
  1. Download attached file - 39-sample.zip and unpack it
  2. Open 39-ivan-and-morevna.sif in Synfig Studio
  3. Chose "File -> Save As" and save file to _another_ location
  4. Close file and reopen the file you just saved - All images are lost.

Carlos López González:

I've been looking to this request and I don't find any way to solve this easily. The magic that happens when you save a composition with a non animated filename that it is converted to the relative path is due to the fact that the relative and the absolute path are stored in the layer at the time of the filename is set. That allows later to always obtain a relative path when the parameter is retrieved (you know the absolute path of the file source as well as the relative) and so, save it as relative. But when the parameter is animated, only the relative value is stored on the waypoints. With the relative values only is not possible to know what's the new path for each animated filename value because, even knowing your absolute destiny path, you don't know the absolute path for each animated filename value, so it is not possible to convert to relative when saving.

It could be possible to save as absolute when animated to eliminate that problem (when you move the document only and not the file sources) but it would create the problem of the mobility of the whole project to another location (because the paths are not relative, you have to keep the structure on any computer that want to read the document) what is a real regression in my opinion.

So I don't know how solve this bug with a simple solution.
