            Bug ID: 133860
           Summary: INSERT SECTION as LINK -- for displaying "File name"
                    in "Edit sections panel", relative PATH would be GREAT
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.8.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

to my surprise, it works!

that is, you insert a section on one of your machines into a document...
and you open that document on another machine, where the PATH displayed in the
"edit sections"  window will be INVALID...

still, it works!
the linked section will be there intact on the other machine, too! (so great!)
thanks, very probably, to a smart mix of using relative and absolute paths..

the only thing left is to inform users about this great thing! :)

if the "file name" field would display the relative PATH, users would
intuitively understand that their document will work on their other machines,
too...
including other people's machines and their other machines :):)


if a relative PATH were displayed here, it'd be a already GREAT!...

but...
given that sophisticated cooperative work with numerous versions of documents
can get pretty complex...
seeing the "file name" clearly would be super-duper great!

like showing "someones_text_on
that_very_interesting_subject-v-32-corrected-by-editor-A.odt" separately, too
(as an informative text on the panel, not as the text in the file field), would
mean a great convenience!! 

as opposed to "file:///home/editors_name/docx-dir/project-dir/someones_text_on
that_very_interesting_subject-v-32-corrected-by-editor-A.odt"

PLUS...

say this already works...
that is, 
the filename 

is already being displayed as plain informative, non-editable text in the
panel, 
as a next great thing, 
the PATH also could be displayed like this... 
just above the filename... 


PERHAPS, if this saves work, the "file name field", as it is now, could even be
left like this...
cause it would be used only to select the file...

and the info of the selected file would be displayed independently...
as described above...
using the RELATIVE PATH...
which would already inform the intuitive user that cloud work is absolutely
path safe :)



Sorry for the length!! :)
