Description sztejkat 2003-02-19 09:05:42 UTC 
I have inserted a .bmp file, via Insert->Graphics->From File->Link to file.
Then, from time to time (I'm not able to reproduce it on requested, but i 
happened about 5 times up to now) when I open an .sxw document and save it, 
paths to image files are not resolved properly. Once saved, wrong relative 
paths are stored. 
 Ex:
  files: c:/../manual/pp/chapter1.sxw
         c:/../manual/main.sxg
         c:/../manual/pp/image.bmp
  proper path: ../image.bmp 
  improper path, after bug happens : ../pp/image.bmp

It happens only, if I use main document (.sxg) and double click in navigator to 
open end edit chapter file (propably because chapter document and main document 
are in different directories).
 Workaround:
  Thanks to hml format OpenOffice uses it is easy to unsip .sxw, open 
content.xml in text editor and automatically replace improper paths with proper 
one.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.

Can you reproduce this problem consistently in 1.0.3.1?

Please reopen, this still occurs in OOo 2.2rc3.

Last time I noticed it was after I had system crash in my computer and had to
recover the Writer document. After recovery, all images had "/home/magi"
replaced with "..".

My default path is "/home/magi/texts/", so maybe the ".." is an attempt to
change to a path relative to that. I get many paths such as
"file:///../texts/image.png".

For example, original path:
  file:///home/magi/data/oo-web/fi/www/kuvat/ooo2.0-half.png

After crash and recovery:
  file:///../data/oo-web/fi/www/kuvat/ooo2.0-half.png

Bug #70310 had similar problems after update.

Opened issue #75705, which is possibly a related problem.
