I have filed a link to Bob Treder's message as further comment and that
has drawn the following response from the tester:

I cannot reproduce the problem. Please give a step by step description how you
set the link and - what is more importend - how you have tested, that the link
is absolute. Please remember, you cannot _see_ it, because all links are shown,
as if they where absolute.
I have put the document which contains the link and the document to which the
link refers into the same folder and then moved the folder to a new place. The
link is still working then. I used a picture in an impress-document with an
interaction "jump to document".

Please tell me that the issue has been confirmed.

Since it seems that you are unfamiliar with the process, I have filed
an issue.
I am no expert in the procedure myself, so please feel at liberty to
ignore my issue if it is not to your liking and file another.
In the end, I described it as a defect but, perhaps, enhancement or
feature would be more appropriate.

Hi Terry,
I did not intend my comment to apply to you personally but to the OO
developers in general. Please point me to where I should be
submitting my
comments and I will do that.

Could you perhaps apply your passion to supporting any issue which

Thank you Terry.
I appologize if this is not the forum to express the following
opinion, but
it's a shame that an important feature like this is not working and
apparently has not been for some time. In one of the messages on
this thread a user says he is stuck at 1.1.5 because of it. There
have been many
improvements since then in Impress that I know about.
FYI, I am trying to promote OO in my work office whis is dominated
by MS
software. I find OO Impress much easier to work in than PowerPoint
and have
been developing materials using it. I am now starting a new project
which
will be a richly hyperlinked document with links to help files and
Flash
movies created with Wink to demonstrate GUI operations. It will make it
difficult to promote and use these materials without relative links.
I love what OO stands for and is providing to the software world. I
just wish that features important to the application which may not
be all that
interesting to work on were given a higher priority by those of you
who are
developing the code.
Hoping you will rethink priorities,
Bob <snip>
