Impress loses embedded images
Last modified: 2004-01-29 16:38:58 UTC
Occasionally Impress loses all the embedded images in a file. I have generally noticed this after a save, but can't swear that it never happens in the middle of a session. The presentation shows empty containers, but no images. If somebody will give me a place to submit it, I can upload a file that shows the problem. Sorry, it's an ephemeral problem and I don't know how to reproduce it reliably yet, but feel free to contact me for more information if I can tell you anything useful.
Created attachment 11541 [details] File with lost images
A little more information - I tried replacing the images a couple of times, and they kept getting lost, so I saved as a ppt file and the images stayed where they belonged. I also now have a version of the file with some images in place and others lost - let me know if you need any of these other versions of the file.
Reassigned to Christian.
There are two known bugs about loosing graphics. - The Temp folder is nearly full while saving the document. We are working on this bug and it will be fixed soon. -> Workaround: delete some files from te Temp folder so that tmp has enough space. - graphics disappears when the file is password protected. This bug is fixed in the meantime. The fix will be integrated in OOo1.1.1 -> Workaround: use save as instead of save and make sure that 'Save with password' is deselected.
Christian - thanks, this will give me something to try next time. A quick question though to make sure I understand: is the "temp" folder you're referring to $HOME/.openoffice/user/temp? If so, I'm not sure how it could be full, since I have several gigabytes in my $HOME partition. Is there a size limit set by OpenOffice for that directory? Sorry, but I want to be able to test your explanations next time it happens to make sure this isn't a new bug. Thanks again! Bill.
The Temp folder I mean is the folder which is set in 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/Paths/Temporary files' Normaly it is '/tmp'
utomo > kristanb: Do you already test it ? what is your trial result ? If possible download OOo 1.1.1fix1 (soon will be available, look at release mailing list for announcement) or fix2 when available. Hope this fixed your problem. Thanks
Looks a little like DUP of issue 16297 or issue 18997. Reporter, can you check that? It might be useful to attach a (zipped) folder with - document.sxi _with_ images - document.sxi _with_lost_ images - images separate in the same folder Rainer
Hi Rainer, Looks the same as 16297. I'll see if I can get you a before/after set - the problem has been that it happens infrequently, and after saving, so the "before" gets overwritten by the "after." But I'll try to save changes as new versions for awhile, and maybe I'll get lucky.
Hi, thanks for your quick reply. In issue 16297 (which is fixed) I read that the fix will be included in 1.1.1. So I recommend to wait with those tests until we have 1.1.1! I have an 1.1.1a here, but without a testkit with somewhat reproducibility it will take to much time to test that. If you are _sure_ that this issue is for the same problem as issue 16297, we should close this one as a DUP. Rainer
duplicate *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10101 ***
closing duplicate. As mentioned before one of the reasons is the password-thing that is handled seperately in issue 16297
This issue is duplicate to issue 10101 Issue 10101 is fixed and integrated in OOo 1.1.1 I close this issue. Please reopen it if the bug still occures in OOo1.1.1.
