Viewing non-pdf links

Aug 7, 2012 4:27 AM

I get the impression from browsing around that non-pdf files, such as JPG, ought to open in their associated application.  Is that the case and if so, why can't I get it to work here?

 

Thanks for any help.

    What happens instead?

    What kind of link is it and how is it made?

    Up to now I've had an error message:  "Could not open the file ...", where the path given is relative beginning with ./  The path works in the original OpenOffice document and I re-exported (relative path option set) to make sure. In OO the links begin "file:///".

     

    I've just noticed that some links to JPG work (sorry, there are so many and I just didn't find any before) but I can't see any difference in the way they're set up in OO.

     

    The ones that work show alt-text when you hover on them, the ones that work don't (but neither do links to PDF which do work).

     

    There's something I'm not fully appreciating here, I think
