Bug ID: 125019
Summary: Misleading error message for FODT Write Errors. The
file could not be written.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ongar...@gmail.com
Description:
When FODT and ODT files are saved from old/incorrect documents XML a misleading
error is shown to the user:
- Error in writing sub-document styles.xml
- The file could not be written
- Generic I/O error
The problem has been tracked down to be an XML issue and not a permission
issue.
In the particular case once valid FODT files become invalid in later
LibreOffice versions and require a certain degree of expertise to be fixed or
even to detect the root cause of the problem.
If needed a detailed thread on us...@global.libreoffice.org can be found here:
https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg54342.html
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download http://paste.arn-fai.net/?2874269 and rename it to foo.fodt
2. Open with Writer
3. Save in FODT or ODT
Actual Results:
A misleading error message is shown. The same error is for permission issues,
profile issues and more. In reality it's an XML validity error.
Expected Results:
The UI is not correctly describing what is an XML error and it should prompt a
more specific error message (for example "Cannot save malformed XML") and maybe
a technical detail could be outputted to in the console.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
