Bug ID: 104674
Summary: Relative file paths for external files in formulas
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When I have two ODS files in the same directory, and a cell formula in file A
refers to a cell in file B, then currently we create absolute paths to denote
file B. (When creating the formula by switching to the other Calc window and
clicking to the cell using the mouse.) This means if the file is checked into
e.g. git, the external references can't be updated on an other machine if the
git checkout has a different path.
Making the path relative would fix this. I'm not sure what is the best
algorithm to decide what to make relative paths, but perhaps a conservative one
would be using relative paths when the relative path would contain no "../"
parts? Just an idea.
