Description:
When reading Catalogs/Collections from files, a user should be able to preserve any relative links e.g. to children. Otherwise, re-saving the Catalog/Collection may produce surprising results (e.g. filesystem-absolute links where previously they were relative, breaking portability).
This is currently a draft PR demonstrating the problem. The fix will likely be adding a
catalog_type
argument tofrom_file
, but we should explore other options as well, since adding a new argument to such a widely used classmethod is not ideal.PR Checklist:
