Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 35650
Unable to determine if given image is linked or embeeded
Last modified: 2009-02-04 15:14:58 UTC
There's no way to determine (i.e. by watching any "properties" or so dialog) if given image is embeeded into OOo document or just linked (and what's the file path for it). There shall be an option to find this out (not to mention that window containing list of document images, with note which one is embeeded and which is linked) would be much helpful. Additionally there shall be and option to to mark all the linked images visually (i.e. small anchor icon, or so in the corner).
You have at least this ways to see it (1) Edit - Links... (2) single-click on graphic, then context or format-graphics, then tab 'Graphics' part 'Link' (3) Navigator. The linked graphic has got a tooltip with path, an embedded graphic doesn't has it.
For other modules than writer see issue 15683.
As for workarounds you gave: "(1) Edit - Links..." - not really useful if more links are in the documents. Imagine 100 *identical* (or very close) images. Some linked, some embeeded. Edit - Links won't help you find out which one is which. "(2) single-click on graphic, then context or format-graphics, then tab 'Graphics' part 'Link'" - Does not show up in Impress (1.1.2 - so I may infos may be outdated). Generally I really mean somethinng image related - an option invokable via image context menu.
TM->BH: This one is more a wish for a feature or an enhancement than a defect. Please have a look.
