Bug #: 53643
Summary: LO 3.6 broken external link if "linking" file is
copied / moved to other folder
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.1.1 rc
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Spreadsheet
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
if i create an external link to a source file and move/copy the linked file
(not the source file) to another folder, the link breaks.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create two empty ods-files on your desktop, for example call them
test_link.ods and test_source.ods
2. now open both and create an external link in test_link referencing to
test_source with =...; the result in your cell should be something like
='file:///home/USERNAME/Desktop/test_source.ods'#$Sheet1.A1
3. now close both files, and move (or copy) your test_link.ods to another
folder (e.g. folder "test" on your desktop)
4. now open the "test_link" file in its new location and when asked to update,
click "yes".
5 message that link is broken, because the reference does not exist;
This matters if you create a template file with external links and save a new
file based on this template somewhere else.
