Bug Description
Zim-Version: 0.57 (Windows installer)
OS: Windows 7 64bit
=== Scenario ===
* A page "Page1" contains attachments, e.g. a graphic "image.png"
* A page "Page2" contains
- A link [path/to/
- The image file inline {{path/
- A link [:path:to:Page1] to the other page.
=== Observed Behaviour ===
When Page1 is renamed or moved
* The link [:path:to:Page1] is updated.
* The link [path/to/
* The image inclusion {{path/
Hence Page2 is broken without warning.
When Page1 is deleted, Page2 is also broken without warning.
=== Expected Behaviour ===
* When an attachment folder is moved or renamed, links to this folder should be updated.
* When an attachment folder needed by other pages is deleted, a warning should be given.
=== How it might be done / Notes ===
* This probably implies, that attachments, that are linked to, should be indexed (if it isn't done already).
* Note that attachment folders may have subfolders, that don't correspond to zim pages.
* Can be considered related to https:/
=== Wishful Thinking ===
* When an attachment folder is deleted, but some files are still needed by other pages, the user might be offered to relocate those files to a different page's attachment folder.
* If such a function was implemented, moving attachments between pages should be easy to implement for the Attachment Browser plugin.
