Comment 6 for bug 172162

~suv: that's exactly a copy from Adobe's dialog. I don't think it's that good and I don't even think we need it.
As I proposed in my blueprint, there's a more transparent way to do it, using the structure we already have and without the need of adding a new tool (a new window, a new slot in the context window and the menus, etc).
The proposed "image links manager" certainly covers the problems and provides solutions, but it also adds complexity that can be avoided.
I can't see the benefit of having a list of images. The images are already in the document, the broken links have a distinctive "missing image" bitmap that is hard to miss, and a semi-automated replacement method would be enough to repair the links easily.
My proposal covers the same problematic situations that Steren's, but improving an existing tool, not adding a new one (and even moving some features into the same dialog, to reduce the clutter)
