Comment (by ollivdl):

 Well, thanks anyway for checking it out, and pointing how useless it seems
 to be.

 As WordPress docs explain what a relative link is, it seems to me it it
 supposed to be used. If people seem also to get explanations on how to
 move their wordpress files into a subdirectory of the webroot, then it can
 be understood that one would like to point out some suggestion as to
 explain different relative links imho.

 What makes sense to one doesn't always make sense to the other. Even
 blogging at all doesn't seem to be something to bother about most of the
 people I know...

 I will point out:

 if you would have two domain names, one linking to a wordpress fatures
 site, and the other to your personal blog, and maybe another one... All
 pointing at the same IP adress, but all residing in different
 subfolders...

 Linking in the blog towards an image in another subfolder of your pictures
 site, to invite people there, would be nice to do like this:

 <img src= "/photo/image.jpg" />
 instead of having to type
 <img src="http://myurlcouldbemediumlong.com/photo/image.jpg">

 Well whatever, Using the library is no go here, none of the uploading ways
 (html/flash) want to crop my images. I know if cropping works, the images
 loose color depth and such...

  I use watermarks and crop them externally to keep colours the way they
 should be. They are uploaded at once into a folder images with a subfolder
 'small' for thumnails and logically 'large' for the linked images. They
 all carry the same name and an index number. couldn't be more easy.

 I edit without seeing the images in the editor now, can jollygood edit all
 I want inside the editor (size, caption, title, name it!)
 And the output is perfect on the site.
