Bug ID: 146064
Summary: writer image insertion use relative paths by default
UI
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

It would be helpful if there were a setting such that linked images were stored
as relative paths, rather than absolute paths, by default.
The value is that it would then make it easy to hand someone a usb stick with
the document and its images without any extra work other than copying
directory structure involved.
(I am using Windows; may apply to other OS's, I don't know.)(Also, might apply
to other components; I have not checked.)
Why not embed images? Because:
1. With a lot of images, the document becomes enormous.
2. I have found endless bugs that trash the document if there are too many
embedded images. That was true for me in versions 6.4.3, and 7.2.2.
LO 7.2.3, win 7.
