Missing Graphics when Importing odt Document into Template
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:19:48 UTC
SUBJECT: Missing Graphics when Importing odt Document into Template PLATFORM: Windows XP BUILD: 680m100 COMPONENT: Writer This particular issue may be reported under other circumstances. However this is how I was able to reproduce the problem consistently. I have included the subject document and template as well as the step-by-step instructions to reproduce the missing graphics problem: 1- Open the Missing_Graphics-Test.odt template 2- From the drop-down menu select Insert > File... 3- Double-click the Subject_Doc.odt This will Insert the contents from the Subject_Doc.odt at the beginning of the Missing_Graphics-Test.odt template, forcing the pre-existing content below the newly-inserted content. As you scroll back toward the top of the document you will notice that several (not all) of the inserted graphics are missing. Most of the missing graphics are subjects that happened to land on, or very near the page break. However, this is certainly not the case with all of the graphics as some are missing from the middle of the page; no where near the page break. ##################### # Additional notes: # ##################### 1- This particular document was ported from version 1.1.4 some time ago. 2- Further, the majority of the graphics were embedded in the document using the Insert > Picture > From File method. I do not know if these details will have any bearing on your verification of the issue. I and my team have a handful of very important issues that occur frequently. Reproducing them consistently is a challenge. ;-) However, we are working on providing as much valuable feedback as possible. Thank you for all of you hard work!

Reassigned to ES.
ES->DVO: as described: some objects are missing (empty frame or showing error). This concerns all OLE objects and some graphics that look like (according to their context menu) Draw object. This only happens doing Insert - File. Loading the document (Subject_Doc.odt) directly doesn't show the problem.
dvo: The missing graphics are indeed draw objects. The 'real' graphics work just fine.
Redistributing dvo's issues.
Yes, we reproduce this problem. It occurs not with "normal" graphics, only with graphics we got from the drawing module. And there's a work-around, you could copy the file content and paste it instead of insert/file. Regarding our resources and criteria for OOo2.0.1 I've to retarget this issues to OOo Later. We have to fix this problem for OOo3.0, of course.
