Closed Bug 216504 Opened 21 years ago Closed 21 years ago

Won't correctly link relative URL's. Instead it will link them as file://directory/directory/picture.jpg. Thus, no one on the www can see the image.

It instead insists on linking the file (image) as a full URL. This prevents everyone outside of your machine from viewing the linked image. When you edit the HTML to the correct format Composer will re-write it for you in full URL. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Choose an image file to be added to a page 2.Check the "URL relative to page location" box 3.Save the .html file Actual Results: Composer re-wrote the html such that the file was linked in a full URL. Anyone on the outside would get a link that looks like this: file://directory/directory/picture.jpg Expected Results: It should have Linked the image as a relative URL such that when anyone viewing the page tried to see the image it would send them to http://www.something.com/pictures/picture.jpg This problem occurs in both Linux and Windows and on more than one computer.

I actually think this bug is invalid but won't reresolve it as such. The reason is, you started with a page that wasn't saved. When you added the image, there was no way for it to be relative at all. If instead you change the steps such that the file is saved before the image is added (and resaved when done), you wouldn't see this bug. verifying dupe (although the bug is really invalid, it is a dupe of other bugs filed)
