HTML document with linked graphic

When saving an HTML document which includes a linked graphic, Writer embeds the graphic in the document. When it reopens the document, Writer does not display the graphic but instead displays the ASCII coding of the graphic file.

This can make it very difficult to edit the document.

To demonstrate these problems:

1. Use a web browser to copy the web page http://grapevine.net.au/~mccluskeyarundell/LSMember.html to your local disk.

2. Note that the file size is 6.5 kB.

3. Open the file in Writer. Note that it displays the graphic http://grapevine.net.au/~mccluskeyarundell/LivingStreetsLogo.jpg

4. Save the file as HTML Document (Writer).

5. Note that the file size has increased from 6.5 MB to 176 kB (because the linked graphic has become an embedded graphic).

6. Open the newly-saved file in Writer. Instead of displaying the graphic, Writer displays many pages of apparently random characters.

It seems this reopening problem has been fixed in a recent version. The fix appears to have been made to bug 50763.

The forced embedding is dealt in bug 48887.
