> I do not understand it
Actually, I _do_ understand. I just was very pissed off. What I _really_ wanted
to say is that:
1. Most people (including myself) have "Save URLs relative to file system"
option enabled. This is OK. Some people disable it. This is OK too.
2. At least for the first group of users, the current way of how the inheriting
works, leads, in some cases, to unexpected and unwanted things.
For example, you saved a document to your desktop on drive C, then you moved it
on drive D, and from this point, the program stops to notify you about
inconsistencies between a template and a document based on it.
It is obvious that in 99% cases we want the absolute path to the template --
regardless of whether "Save URLs relative to file system" option is enabled
(which is the default and my personal preference) or disabled.

What I _really_ wanted to say is that this is an additional pitfall for a user.
I think it should be fixed in one of the following ways:
a) When you create a document from a template by double-clicking it in file
manager, the inheriting should be the same as in the case when you create a
document from this template using File > New > Templates.
b) Or, when you double click a template in file manager and template is opened,
there should be a message that you should not use it in such a way. The message
should inform the user that it is much safer to copy this template into the
directory specified in Tools > Option > LibreOffice > Paths > Templates, and
then used using File > New > Templates
c) Or, such a use should be somehow disabled.
