--- Comment #63 from Sebastian Hölz <[email protected]> ---
Hi,

I just experienced a similar problem and found a way to fix it.

Problem
=======
Win 7, LibreOffice 4.1, Impress, large presentation
(D:/Dokumente/Dokumente/Report_Phase1/report.odp, ~100 slides) with lots of
linked images. Everything worked just fine until this morning. I think the
program just knew that today is my deadline ... when I opened up the file: all
links broken, no images displayed anymore.

I noticed on funny thing: In the "missing file frame", the link was pointing to
the some target e.g.:
file:///D:/Dokumente/Dokumente/Report_Phase1/Figures/CSEM/image.png

At a first glance this looked OK, but looking closer I noticed the
"Dokumente/Dokumente", which is incorrect. In fact, the true path should have
been something like:
file:///D:/Dokumente/Report_Phase1/Figures/CSEM/image.png

TRACKING DOWN THE PROBLEM
=========================
I opened a new file (odp) and copied one slide containing a broken image link
from the original presentation to the new test file. On a second slide I used
the dialog (Insert -> Picture -> from File) to again link to that same image.

I then saved the presentation and re-opened it with the result that the link on
the first page was still broken, but the second link worked just fine. I then
unzipped the odp-file and took a look at the content.xml file. The two links
looked as follows:
../../../../Dokumente/Report_Phase1/Figures/CSEM/image.png (broken link)
../Figures/CSEM/image.png (new working link).

NOTE: the actual paths were much longer, I have shortened them a bit for this
post.

BUG FIX
=======
I used "find & replace" (../../../../Dokumente/Report_Phase1/Figures ->
../Figures) to replace the incorrect links in the content.xml file and
re-integrated this file into the unzipped odp-file ... problem solved.

OK, neither do I know, if this bug fully relates to the ones described above
nor do I don't know, why Impress is doing this to us, but at least I found a
way to fix this problem for me.

Hope this is helpful to track down the problem, because this is REALLY
annoying.

Cheers

Sebastian
