            Bug ID: 117098
           Summary: insert image relative URL auto-replaced with absolute
                    URLS in the "file name" field (/ properties/image)

a "project folder", containing a document with an image insterted (as relative
URL), from an "image folder" also contained in the "project folder" -- for
illustration puroposes

hello, 

when inserting an image into a document, I totally miss the option to select
what type of path, relative, absolute, or perhaps project-folder-relative...
which, as a matter of fact, MS word had even some 10 years ago, AFAIR...

the problem now is that I set the way of handling image urls... "centrally", 
say, I set it to relative, but for the appearance it will look (it will be
corrected, auto-replaced) absolute... an absolute file path...
which makes two things impossible:

#1 tell if that URL is relative or absolute.. (huge problem)
#2 select the "text", "select/all" and "copy" and "paste" it to a WYSIWYG HTML
editor such as tynimca or Trumbowyg..


 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ why this enhancement should be implemented? _ _ _ _ _ _

IMO, to make it possible to choose from "ABSOLUTE / RELATIVE / Relative to
project folder" is an urgent requirement, but this is also the beginning of a
new approach to handling documents... with focus on flexibly and reliably
handling inserted media... 

The handling of inserted media -- I'm no expert -- seems to me a kind of task
which video editors, namely, KDENLIVE performs at master level... 
Linked media should not be treated as something extra or extraordinary, but as
the most basic and general thing, like typing "hello" -- of course, you know
all about it, way more than I do..

I am practically certain that we all agree that today, when people write books,
collaborate on projects, use cloud, and when images are key thing everywhere... 
the task of inserting images into a document in a transparent and reliable, and
systematically controllable way is a minimum requirement...

thank you for your work, thank you for LibO, especially for Writer ! :)
