Description Jean-Baptiste Faure 2010-12-22 12:08:53 UTC 
When you insert a movie in a slideshow by Insert > Movie and Sound there is a small problem: it is impossible to retrieve the path of the inserted file. It is not listed in Edit > Links...
That is very annoying: for example if you want to move the slideshow to another location you need to move such files too. That may be difficult if you have several files in the directory and if you have forgot which file you inserted.

Please, add this information somewhere.

Best regards. JBF

There's work-in-progress around embedding sound/video files into the ODF container, see here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/tree/patches/dev300/impressmedia-features.diff

Not only a Presentation problem, please see Bug 33156!
Comment 4 Aleksey 2011-04-13 09:47:05 UTC 
I found that video fails to work in presentation only if there's Cyrillic letters in the path to the video. In case when there are only Latin letters video is played normally.

Deleted "Easyhack" from summary.

Apologies for not having gotten around fixing this bug yet; unfortunately in future I'll have even less time at my disposal for this, so I'm freeing up ownership for other volunteers to take over.
Comment 7 Björn Michaelsen 2013-10-04 18:48:00 UTC 
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.

see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing -  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. 

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
Comment 9 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-10-26 08:01:11 UTC 
It is still impossible to retrieve the filename and the path of a video inserted as a link.
It is less uncomfortable when the video is embedded but the problem is the same, once the video has been inserted you can't know where the file comes from.

Tested with the current master. Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 3e2dfde73b46526b901c0c38b1e9b2a4872761ac
