--- Comment #18 from gmarco <gmmell...@inwind.it> ---
Retested. Summary (01/13/2017):
The question was: having an ODT doc with embedded (linked as DDE) some
connected objects (Spreadsheet Areas), opening it you are asked if you wish
updating YES|NOT. Replying YES every change applied to the Calc sheet will be
reflected into the Writer doc ... but now if you want to save the updated file
getting an ODT rewritten with the mentioned updates, the "SAVE" menu option is
inhibited and also clicking on "X" (the most usual method) the file will not
saved; in order to rewrite an updated ODT file you can only exit by "Save As"
getting a new file with a new name.
Substantially, if I update only the linked objects without applying any change
to the text part of the doc, exiting by "X", Writer closes without asking if I
want save it YES|NOT and does not rewrite the ODT file without we have
awareness of that.
I do not think it's of trivial importance.
Re-testing in LO 5.2.3.3 and updating the issue:
it seems that something has changed, SAVE is no longer inhibited and clicking
on it, the file is rewritten regularly updated.
But, exiting by "X", nothing has yet changed, all is as already said.
A further problem: established that the objects links embedded in the document
are dependent on the drive and folder where the source files were when linked,
if the spreadsheet file source was renamed / moved / deleted (however is not
found from Writer), opening the ODT file a window appears asking "do you want
to edit and update all the connections?" but, answering YES, it does not appear
no warning message about the not found objects and the document opens
(consequently not updated) without we have awareness of that.
I think that a warning about would be more correct (anyway WinWord too had this
problem): were this SW improvement not possible, what you think of a notice, at
least, in the help?
To facilitate the verification of the foregoing I attach two files already
prepared ("LO W-C odssample.ods" and "LO W-C odtsample.odt").
Note: The ODS file must be loaded in D:\ (root), as ODT links point there; if
needed you can open the ODT and change the links drive-id from Edit-Links.
