Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-12-22 11:08:47 UTC
Steps:
1. Insert a linked image: Insert > Image > Link > OK/Open > Keep link
2. Move source file on filesystem to different directory (or delete it)
3. Save and reload the file: image not shown
4. Edit > Hyperlinks

Result: the dialog does not allow easily finding the broken links.

The "Status" column sounds like it would provide this information, but it is about the update method used (automatic or manual). (This could be renamed to "Update method" or something else that clarifies it, but it's a separate issue.)

Expected: There should be an extra column, maybe named "Source found" (other suggestions welcome), which would help finding the broken link more easily, to then fix them with "Modify". The table should be sortable to make it easier to go through all broken links.

Related to this request to make it easier to fix broken links:
- broken links are listed in the Accessibility Check since 24.2, but the solution requested here is supposed to replace that. See commit 0156cba6e34026f8fa0f2912e503378a5ec2208d for bug 158114.
- a broken link indicator was added to the Navigator for images in 24.8. See commit 4c2c900970d6484c6a92900213ece5c415e40f2d for bug 158114 as well.
- bug 43784 requests a fileopen banner, which should ideally link to the Edit Links dialog with a button.

Tested with OOo 3.3 and a recent trunk build at 24.8 alpha0+.
