Re: [libreoffice-users] relative paths to linked graphics do not work

Hi Brian,

you are a genius! :)
Using this little dot in front of the path name really works!
> ./Bilder/Kapitel 2/Hall_effect_A.png

Like this I am now able to delete the beginnings of the absolute path names, set the dot in front 
of the relative part and the picture will be shown. Great!

However this is certainly not the most elegant way a program should work.

So I would guess that there is a real bug in LibreOffice concerning that.

Could anyone tell me how bugs are reported?

Thanks a lot for all your answers!
