The difference between the older (1.1.2) and the current version is: at the moment OOo does not show a path for an inserted ( drag and drop) picture in a gallery theme. A path is shown if the picture is added to the theme using right click/properties/files/find files/add. This differentiation makes no sense in my opinion. @ejgrace: if I understand you right you want to ship a theme of self-designed objects to another user. Is that correct? That would be more an enhancement, not a defect. For the path problem I have filed issue i41070. This one here would become an enhancement If I understood you right . Thanks. > if I understand you right you want to ship a theme of self-designed

Not quite, though that is a realated topic and would be useful.
1) My point is more that when an oodraw gallery object is inserted as a link,
the link is not honoured, instead the object is physically *copied* into the
document that is being edited.
2) On the other hand, if the gallery object is an image and it is inserted as a
link, the fact it is a link *is* honoured.
This means that if I then change the underlying gallery source image, all the
source images derived from this in the document being edited can change.
The help pages say you can insert gallery objects as links, so I would expect to
be able to do (2) for oodraw objects as well.
The motivation behind me wanting to do this came from drafting a flowchart. The
idea for this is one can draft up the structure of an image, then when one has
time, work on perfecting the objects. Subsequently all the objects change to
the new versions since they are actually links in the document rather than copies.
