<pre>Description:
When dragging-dropping media, like an mp3-audio or a video onto a slide, it is
*always* linked and never embedded into the presentation, regardless of whether
shift or ctrl (or both) is held down (see also
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/shared/guide/dragdrop.html">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/shared/guide/dragdrop.html</a> ).
However, even if explicitly inserted as link, it does not show up in
Edit->Links to external file.
One way to see that it's not working is to save the presentation and look at
the file-size afterwards. When moving the presentation to another computer or
reanming/deleting the referenced file, the media is thus not available.
If the media is inserted via Insert->Audio or Video it is correctly embedded.
Side note: if inserted via Insert->Audio or Video with the "Insert as
Link"-option checked, it does also *not* appear in Edit->Links to external
file.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag-Drop a media file from a file-manager onto a slide (holding ctrl-button
so the + appears)
2. Save the odp -> note already that the file size stays (too) small
2. Close libreoffice (so the media-file is for sure *not kept open*)
3. Rename the previously inserted media-file
4. Reopen the presentation - the media cannot be played (but there is also no
useful message that the file cannot be found...)
Actual Results:
No media is playing
Expected Results:
If dragged-dropped with the +-sympol the media file should be embedded.
Media files should also appear in Edit->Links to external files
Not found linked media should provide an error message that file x at place y
cannot be found.
When an image is added via Insert/Image with the "Insert as Link"-option
checked it is asked wheter it shall be embedded. Such a question should also be
asked when using Insert->Audio or Video.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
