------- Additional comments from m...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 23 08:29:22 +0000 2009 ------- First of all, we strictly have to differ between a document loaded into OOo where hyperlinks are accessed by the UI, and hyperlinks stored in ODF. The initial issue said that hyperlinks are stored wrong in ODF. I explained why this is not the case, of cause, by referring to ODF. End users of cause do not have to know that. They insert links to resources. These resources have URIs. These URIs are absolute, but they may be stored relative. Storing them relative requires a so called base URI, which allows to make the URI absolute again. In a new document which has not been stored, there is no such base URI. And even if a document has been stored, it may be stored somewhere else the next time. This would change the meaning of any relative URI. That's exactly the reason why OOo uses absolute URIs internally. If you have loaded a document and save it somewhere else, you probably don't want that embedded hyperlinks reference other files. So, one could see it this way: If you insert a hyperlink, you do not insert a URI, but a link to that resource. The URI is just an implementation detail. Of cause, there are experts like you which would prefer to insert just URIs, including relative URIs. But relative URIs have all the problems I mention above, because they are valid only in stored document (but not in a document in memory which could be stored at an arbitrary place next time), and because they depend on the definitions of the file format that is stored. So, I still would say there is no issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
