Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 111024
Links are modified/destroyed/fucked up after crash and recovery
Last modified: 2010-06-24 17:04:42 UTC
Hello, after crash and recovery, relative links to images are fucked up in an .odp document. This is comparable to issue 107968, but the latter is only stated for the "Spreadsheet" component. I compared the buggy version with a backup working version. I checked the content of the files "content.xml". It appears that the bug makes the following modification : "href=(relative link)" -> "href=../../..(absolute link)". Of course, the last link leads nowhere. Details : Excerpts from "content.xml" of a working version: <draw:image xlink:href="../../../../../lycee/TGMAT/chimie/oxydoreduction/presentationDecoupe/laserPlaque.jpg" <draw:image xlink:href="../../types_de_lasers/cavite_elliptique.png" Excerpts from the "content.xml" after crash/recovery: <draw:image xlink:href="../../../home/me/backup/lycee/TGMAT/chimie/oxydoreduction/presentationDecoupe/laserPlaque.jpg" <draw:image xlink:href="../../../home/me/backup/enst/lasers/cours/types_de_lasers/cavite_elliptique.png" PS: This file was important and I was loosing one day of work (what's the use of the auto-save... ? it did not help at all !). I was able to correct the "content.xml" file (after many hours of python scripting) and saved my work.
Is the crash reproducible and what did you do then? If this is not reproducible we cannot do anything about it.
I think that's a duplicate of Issue 107968, since symptoms are similar accross all OO.o components. No need to reproduce the crash, you only need to trigger recovery (kill -9 will do).
@nalimilan Thank you for your hints how to reproduce! *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107968 ***
