Hi, actually I do not want to find dead links to non existing pages but dead links to files. For example, I store quite a lot of PDFs within Zim (papers, bills, etc.). What sometimes happens is that I want to save the record in another page. To do so, I simply copy over the whole text block containing the link to another page -- then, however, the original link is not working anymore as the file links are usually relative and not absolute. Anyway, I will have a look into that and maybe I am able to write a small script for that.
