Thus majority of users who rely on linked templates cannot presently use the relative linking in their documents, because that negatively affects their linked templates Yet we close a bug that asks to change the linking of templates to absolute, on which grounds? that those users can configure their linking (as said, this way disabling themselves from using relative linking in their documents). Have I missed something? Current "resolution" makes 100% of users of linked templates unhappy. Both groups - the discussed majority, and the minority, both need to configure their linking according to the needs of templates, and then be unable to use the other way for other uses in document (like linked images); or use the linking mode needed for their contents (images), sacrificing the linked templates. The proposal asked to make the major group happy allowing them to use linked templates, and independent mode for their images; while keeping minority unhappy. The ideal solution could be a separate configuration, also discussed. I honestly cannot see the reason of this "WF".</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
