------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 29 22:17:42 +0000 2008 ------- I have the following directory structure that worked prior to OpenOffice 3.0. top + images + test I would test edit an OO document that had links to images in the images directory. Occasionally I would rename an image. Then the image doesn't show up in the OO document, and is replaced with an error message containing the full path "/home/.../top/image/image1.png" to where the file was, starting at root, "/". In 3.0, I edited a file in the test directory, linking to images in the images directory, then moved the test.odt file to the "top" directory. Now, when I open test.odt, the images in the document are replaced by error messages with the path to the image altered to "/home/.../top/image1.png". If, as seems to be the case, that storing path names as relative paths is now important, then please include an option to store the path as an absolute path, because it's important to be able to reference a central image repository. Because of this change, it looks like I now have to replace around 100 links to the images...manually! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
