Thanks for the report. Does the second installation of LibreOffice have the same setting in the Options dialog? That might be why the URL does not work. There is an enhancement request in bug 111957 that would make this area more logical if implemented. Please also refer to the help page: https://help.libreoffice.org/24.2/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010200.html Indeed, the tooltip always displays an absolute path (a change is requested in bug 128216) Can you please: - check the settings of the second installation of LibreOffice, to see if they match - install a currently supported version of LibreOffice: 7.6 or 24.2 (bugs have been fixed since 7.3) - if the issue is resolved, let us know if you'd be happy to have this marked as a duplicate of bug 111957 The relative URI feature appears to be completely broken, see also https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/relative-path-changed-to-absolute-on-save/106291 Just create two spreadsheet files, in one (file1.ods) add a Ctrl+K hyperlink to the other (file2.ods), save, verify with Ctrl+Click it opens the second file (if not still opened), close both, move both documents to a different directory, open file1.ods, Ctrl+Click the hyperlink and see it wants to open file2.ods at the old absolute location. This in all versions from 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ and 24.2.4.0.0+ back to 7.4.7 (didn't try earliers).

This in all versions from > 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ and 24.2.4.0.0+ back to 7.4.7 (didn't try earliers). I can't reproduce that issue. I even tried it with saving file1.ods for the first time before vs after creating the hyperlink, as I didn't expect it to work in the after case. But it worked in both cases. With "Save URLs relative to file system" tuned on, and: Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 433d9c2ded56988e8a90e6b2e771ee4e6a5ab2ba CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Do you have more details? Not really.. it seemed to work (once?) when both files were initially created in / saved to the (as per LO settings) My Documents path, but not in another directory. Then the absolute path was saved. Trying to reproduce it failed also with the My Documents path. Something strange going on. |
Created attachment 192628 [details] process notes, comments, screen dumps I have a directory /lecture that contains a geology.odt. I have subdirs /lecture/images /lecture/videos etc I want to use hyperlinks to access eg the images. I want to be able to put /lecture plus subdirs on a USB stick and move to another computer. <read carefully, because this references another bug> But the URL in the hyperlink not only looks the same, it is the same, and so the images are not accessible. (various forums say that even though it looks the same, internally it becomes relative) Ideally I'd like something like ../images/pic.png, so that wherever the .odt was, it could access the files in the subdirs.
