------- Additional comments from cia...@openoffice.org Mon Jul 6 10:11:41 +0000 2009 ------- Here i am. Sorry for the late reply but i have been busy and far from my usual activity. Thanks to everyone for the interest come out for this issue. I hope it can be fixed. @kohei Yes, the linked file (let's call it "B") actually exists. If I open file "A" (the one that has links to file "B") it starts to hang before i can reach to the window asking "This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?" If i rename file "B" to intentionally make it not accessible then file "A" opens correctly and i reach to the windows asking for links update. Whichever of two i choose file "A" opens correctly (showing "#RIF" error where links are present and not updated. Regarding tracing OOo activity during opening file i'm sorry but i shouldn't know how to do. Trying with different drive letter and drive mount Introduction: In the working environment both files (A and B) are on M:\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\folder5 M: is a drive that mounts \\pdc\[ref_folder] I tried this: 1) I mounted \\pdc\[ref_folder] on Z: In this situation every file is left where it is and nothing is really moved, only the drive letter changes. Result: file A does not open, hangs as always and do not come to the "This file contains links..." window 2) I mounted another network drive (Z:) on another folder (\\pdc\folder_x) and copied here only file A. Result: file A does not open (hangs) Note: i didn't copy file B because links in file A point to M:\...\ so it is useless to copy file B on a new folder unless changing links in A to make them point to a new URL. 3) I copied both A and B on the new mounted drive (Z:) and modified manually all links in file A making them pointing to Z:\ instead of M:\ To make this I opened the .ods file with 7zip and substituted every recurrence of "M:/folder1/folder2/... into "Z:/" in content.xml. I used Notepad++ for this to be sure that any formatting attribute wouldn't be applied to the code and to preserve the UTF8 encoding. Result: file A does not open (hangs) I was confident that last try would have been successfully, but that didn't go as expected. Pratically, file A opens only if links destination files are disabled (renamed or deleted). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
