Link works in PPTX and ODP but not in PPT.
Comment 13 Julien Nabet 2022-09-20 21:25:59 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.

First, since the hyperlink from the ppt seemed to succeed before reopening and failed after reopening, I thought it was import pb (sd/source/filter/ppt/pptin.cxx:410 (aPropItem.Read( aHyperlink.aTarget ))
but in fact it's in export part. I must recognize I don't know why it succeeds before the reloading.

Anyway, with this patch, it works:

Eike: I noticed this commit: 6ad3c553a9bd3b8fb91c45204f0c833f52c52431
impress212: #i97241# added relative links
* found as LGPLv3-only fix at svn rev 1167624 (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1167624)

from 2011 (!!).

I'm afraid to break something here but do you know which use case it would break?
