[libreoffice-users] Re: Moving linked pictures in Impress from one directory to another

Hi Michael,

there is a trick that should work if all your images are in the same
directory.

First load the document and then save it into that directory.
Now close the document.

Move the images directory including the document inside to the
new location.

Open the document at the new location. Links should still work.

Now, if you want to have the document at another place, just save
it to that place.

This should work as OO saves links to images relative if the images
and the document are in the same file system.

Hope that helps,
Christian
