------- Additional comments from amel...@openoffice.org Thu Aug 19 18:20:03 +0000 2010 ------- @r4zoli I'm afraid it can't be anything to do with Arch Linux -- I have not accessed these files on anything but this one MacBook running 3.2.1! Also, the properties file is already set to 1.8.0: #HSQL Database Engine 1.8.0.10 #Tue Aug 17 15:29:52 PDT 2010 hsqldb.script_format=0 runtime.gc_interval=0 sql.enforce_strict_size=true hsqldb.cache_size_scale=8 readonly=false hsqldb.nio_data_file=false hsqldb.cache_scale=13 version=1.8.0 hsqldb.default_table_type=cached hsqldb.cache_file_scale=1 hsqldb.lock_file=true hsqldb.log_size=10 modified=no hsqldb.cache_version=1.7.0 hsqldb.original_version=1.8.0 hsqldb.compatible_version=1.8.0 I was experimenting with a stand-alone HSQLDB system, version 1.8.1.3, and created a copy of one of my databases on it. But I don't see how that would have affected the files with the embedded databases -- the copy was one-way from embedded to stand-alone, and I used OO to copy the individual tables over. Regardless, I seem to have determined that the problem was a corrupted OpenOffice program file, because (a) any file that got resaved yesterday (while I was opening files to see if they were corrupted), is now corrupted (b) that behaviour stopped once I completely removed my old OO program files and reinstalled a fresh version. I still can't access the databases in the corrupted files (get the same "newer version" message as above), but new files I open and save don't get corrupted. (Note: When I said yesterday that I had re-installed OO, what I had done was copy the original "app" package overtop of my existing app, same as I would do when updating OO. But then I remembered that updates are supposed to preserve custom settings files, so this wouldn't completely wipe clean changes to the program.) I used the Mac Terminal to do a "diff" comparison of the contents of the old and new OpenOffice.org.app packages, and got the following differences: The old (corrupted) version had the extra folder Contents/_CodeSignature containing file CodeResources. The file Contents/MacOS/soffice was different between the two versions. In addition, there was an extra alias file in the Contents folder, which just referenced the CodeResources file, and the difference in the soffice file also showed up in the Contents/program folder, which is just an alias for the MacOS folder. I don't know enough about the inner workings of OO to know if either of those differences might be significant, but just in case I'll attach copies of the two files from the (apparently) corrupted version. In the meantime, I'm just making sure I backup any file before I open it, and being glad that I had duplicate backups from two days ago! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
