Hello - I just encountered this bug or something like it. Images show as read-error in LO and the xlsx file would not open in Office 2010. I'm using version 3.5.4 using Mac Lion. This is what I did:
1- started docx document in Office 2010 on Windows 7, added text, a few pictures, and table of contents. 2- opened docx in LO 3.5.4 on Mac Lion. Made various edits and added about 13 jpeg photos using Insert > Picture > From File in various places in the document. I did crop one of the images in LO and edited a few with "Edit with External Tool" (Mac Preview rotation) and all seemed okay from those. 3- re-Saved the file as docx and dropboxed it 4- re-opened the docx file at work today and got the following results. MS Office 2010 will not open it now and says it has an error. Libreoffice 3.5.4 on Windows 7 will open it, but there are read-error notices where the pictures should be. I also notice that the file is 4MB, which would be small considering that many pictures. They would have been a few MB each. Also, the few images that were added originally in step 1 are still present and okay. All other images are missing with read-error. Based on the file-size I'm assuming that the file was not saved correctly on the Mac at step 3 and the images were lost at that point. They were visible in the document upon closeing the file on the Mac at step 3. I'm not sure if auto-save is turned on the Mac or not as I'm not at that computer right now, but assume it would be on as default. I assume dropbox did not mangle the file since the other original pictures added at step 1 are okay and the text is readable. Please let me know what other info I can provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157249 Title: [Upstream] [ooo-build] images deleted from file after auto-save occurs Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have opened an existing file for the first time in Gutsy with OOo 2.3. After some modifications brought to this file, I noticed some images had disappeared, but not all images, and an error message was displayed in a frame of the size of the disappeared image indicating a read error. Then, I don't saved it to keep my file in its last correct state, and I made a copy of this file and opened it in parallel. And at this time the images reappeared in my first modified file. So, I saved it and closed. After reopening, all images which had disappeared were not present (not an empty frame, but totally removed this time). After, I opened a new copy of my file and I insert a space and remove it in order to have "save" button enabled and my file not modified, and then I saved it. I wondered why the size increased from 155566 bytes to 159378 with exactly the same content, maybe a new version of ODF used in OOo 2.3 as this file was created with OOo 2.0 and last modified on 2.1??? I have redone the same modifications and this time there was no problem. I noticed that when I had finished to redo the same modifications, automatic saving was triggered, that I didn't see the first time. I say that as this is may be linked to this problem, and the images in the first time disappeared after a duration of the same order, but this is only an hypothesis and I'm not sure at all of that (I will try to made some new tests). I condider this as critical as it leads to a content loss.
