Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102995
Code for inserted http:// located pictures changed to a local reference
Last modified: 2009-07-02 22:44:30 UTC
Hi fellows, I used Oo 3.01 writer/web and updated to V 3.1 where things changed. I inserted pictures like http://www.example.com/picture.jpg which worked in earlier version. This was converted to something like <IMG SRC="http://www.example.com/picture.jpg" Now the link to the picture will be changed to some local reference like <IMG SRC="/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/01KL45OP/o2%5B1%5D.jpg" For what I used writer/web the old behavior was exactly what I wanted and expected. Shouldn't there be at least an opportunity to select how writer should handle this?
Perhaps to clear things up: I used writer/web and saved as html.
How did you exactly "inserted" pictures in your document? The new link looks like a copy/paste of an image from IE. Please attach a sample document which contains an external link and is "converted" to a local link in 3.1
Created attachment 63165 [details] How I inserted the picture
Created attachment 63166 [details] That's the result after inserting the picture & saving
Sorry for the unprecise description. I inserted over the menue Insert/From File See first attachement. Second attachement is the resulting document. As mentioned, I used this way in Version V3.01 and before with the result of an inserted URL http://33kmh.de/public/dies&das/o2.jpg instead of a local reference. Thanks for fast reaction & taking care.
It's because you use the system dialog to insert the hyperlink (compare with OOo dialogs in "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - General - Use OpenOffice.org dialogs "). On Win2000 and XP, the Windows open dialog downloads using IE and links to the IE cache. We cannot change this because it comes from the system. Use the OOo dialogs and the problem does not appear.

I tried your suggestion but sorry to say that it doesn't work. It gives me an error: Non existing objekt. The file doesn't exist. If I copy&paste the URL http://33kmh.de/public/dies&das/o2.jpg into a web browser it shows the photo. So something changed in behavior from 3.01 to V3.1 in handling inserted pictures that are refered via http:// protocol.
Did you really past "http://33kmh.de/public/dies&das/o2.jpg" in the OOo doalog or just "33kmh.de/public/dies&das/o2.jpg"? Do connect to the Internet over a proxy? Did you check your settings then under "Tools - Options - Internet - Proxy"?
I entered complete url incl. protocol http://33kmh.de/public/dies&das/o2.jpg No proxy. To ensure I changed setting from Proxy / "System" to "none". Same result.
Your suggested solution works like you expected but only under V3.01. In V3.1 the mentioned error occurs "Non existing objekt. The file doesn't exist." Bu addionally I tried again in V3.01 and I have to admit that the way I done it only works if I switch to system dialog by OS or by OpenOffice. As you said. A little weird because I always used system dialogs from OS in the past without problems. Nothing is sure, only one thing: everythings keeps changing.....
Then the "Non existing object. The file doesn't exist." would be an other issue (which I can not reproduce). I don't have a Wondows *2000* (only XP and Vista) to check this. Please file a new issue for this. Now you have seen that the OS dialog uses IE as downloader. You have probably used an other method in the past to insert your picture (drag & drop, copy paste...?) A different behavior between 3.0.1 and 3.1 can not be reproduced -> worksforme.
