Description
qgis works great on opening projects with relative paths to datasources, thanks to https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1211
but then saving the project it converts links back to absolute, even the checkbox "save absolute paths" is turned off. Data (shapefiles) and project are in the same folder. Folder name contains spaces and Cyrillic characters.

Sorry to have to reopen this ticket, but saving with relative paths seems not work any more, at least under Linux (testing under Ubuntu 9.04) with both qgis 1.3 from repos and 1.4 trunk compiled.
Made simple tests with shapefiles and when the "save absolute paths" is not checked the resulting project file has the paths in the form
./path/to/shape.shp
instead of
path/to/shape.shp
so when you try to open the project it misses to find the layers and ask you for the new layer location.

I wonder when this happend. Apparently that never worked on Linux.

if you can check "save absolute paths" you are using something < ed34b139 (SVN r11730). Which should have fixed this issue. Feel free to reopen, if it didn't.
./path/to/shape.shp
instead of
path/to/shape.shp
