[OS X TeX] Gotta include problem

[David Arnold]

All my figure files have unique names.

This seems like it may work, although it leaves me with a lot of editing to do.

In /ElemAlgText/chapter1/chapter1.tex, I'll include a \graphicspath{graphics/}. Then I'll go through each of the \include{section1} files and change each occurrence of \includegraphics{graphics/fig1} to \includegraphics{fig1}.

Then in /ElemAlgText/main.tex, I'll include a \graphicspath{{chapter1/graphics/}...{chapter8/graphics/}}. Should work?
