Document containing picture inside a shape failing to open
MRU->HBRINKM: could you please have a look if this is valid ODF which is produced by MS Word? When I create a similar document and save it in MS Word using "SUN ODF Plugin for MS Word" it can be opened by OOo without any problem. Just some additional information: - The document is valid ODF according to the odftoolkit validator and the ODF schema allows pictures/frames to be contained in shapes (A drawing object such as a draw:rect contains draw-text, which can e.g. be a regular paragraph containing paragraph-content, i.e. this definition is somwhat recursive) - Word documents with pictures in shapes converted with Sun's ODF Add-in or OOo's .doc import can be opened because the converter simply drops the image (after all they are build from the same code base) - However, both the (only as non-public beta available) MS Word 2007 SP2 converter and the OpenXML/ODF Translator try not to retain the image for full round-tripability, hence the problem with OOo. Sorry, should of course the last point should have been: - However, both the (only as non-public beta available) MS Word 2007 SP2 converter and the OpenXML/ODF Translator try to retain the image for full round-tripability, hence the problem with OOo. "Simply ignoring" is a bad idea. The user should at least get a notification that content couldn't be loaded. So if I understand correctly you are asking for converting the error into a warning, right? did not manage to fix for OOo 3.2 <http://odf-validator.rhcloud.com/> rates reporter's sample INVALID (I don't know whether that's related to reported problem), but of course yes, writer should open the document and simply ignore the invalid or unknown parts. Still Reproducible with reporter's sample document and "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1521488 - 2013-09-11]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile.: 1. Try to open sample document from AOO Start Center File menu Bug: error message "Read error. Error reading file" Additional info: a) Competitors: a1) SoftMaker FreeOffice: opens document without error message, but frame looks empty a2) Calligra: opens document, cat with gun picture in frame a3) LibO 4.0.3: same as AOO b) OOo 2.0.2 crashes when I try ot open c) Also error message with 3.1.1 d) I wonder whether that's a feature what will be used often. If yes, this one would be a major issue Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
