Possibly not - but I'm pleased if I've solved your problem, of course.
Using this little dot in front of the path name really works!
./Bilder/Kapitel 2/Hall_effect_A.png
Like this I am now able to delete the beginnings of the absolute
path names, set the dot in front of the relative part and the
picture will be shown. Great!
However this is certainly not the most elegant way a program should work.
cK correctly said:
I have same problem.
Help says "A relative reference is only possible when both files
exist on the same drive"
(http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Relative_and_Absolute_Links)
Nevertheless, it seems LO turns relative links to absolute links
automatically. And there is no way around.
So I would guess that there is a real bug in LibreOffice concerning that.
I'm not sure that this is true. If you start a path with a slash -
as /Bilder/Kapitel 2/Hall_effect_A.png - it has to be interpreted
relative to *something*, and you are assuming that this will be the
folder containing the parent document. But this appears not to be
so: perhaps instead it is interpreted relative to the path set for
the default folder for documents. Or perhaps the root folder on the
current drive. (I haven't tested this.) The dot forces the starting
folder to be the current one.
