Description robcole 2009-12-03 20:33:47 UTC
If a picture is added to a slide using the Insert menu, it will show up when the
document is converted to .ppt. If the picture was dragged in from Windows
Explorer, it will show a broken link in the .ppt file even if the .ppt file is
saved to the same directory as the .odp file AND the pictures are in that
directory as well.

Reproduced on 3 computers. One with Windows Vista and two with Windows XP.

messages ...), _every_key_press_and_every_mouse_click_ how to reproduce the
problem, and explain why you believe that your results are unexpected.
That means (for example):

This is only a problem in IMPRESS for you?

Sorry, not reproducible. What I did:
open a new impress file, drag in a picture from the explorer.
Save the file as ppt, reload: everything is fine.
Please give a detailed step by step description. Thanks in advance.

reproducible with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 Build 7600)
[OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]"

1. under open office Impress, created an "Empty presentation"
2. under the menu, Insert-> Picture -> test.jpg
3. inserted the same picture(test.jpg) by dragging in from Windows Explorer.
4. Saved the file.
5. opened the file with another computer has the same config, the picture 
inserted in step 2 was shown, but the picture inserted at step 3 was shown a 
broken link.

follow up test:
 the steps to reveal the problem

1. under open office Impress, created an "Empty presentation"
2. inserted a picture(test.jpg) by dragging in from Windows Explorer.
3. under the menu, Insert-> Picture -> test.jpg
4. save the file
5. rename test.jpg to test0.jpg
6. open the Impress file again, the picture inserted by dragging in was shown 
as a borken link and the picture inserted was shown there, just as expected.

The original report has this problem because he/she thinks dragging in a file 
has the same effect as using "Insert", but it is not the case.

Inserting a file copies the picture into the file whereas dragging in a file 
just copies the LINK of the picture.

hope that helps.
