Bug ID: 146661
Summary: Linked images are missing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.4.1 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: johnsmithbeat...@gmail.com
Description:
I don't know how to reproduced, but I'm really pissed off.
Two days ago I created a document with 5 linked images.
A very simple one, really. One image per page, png/jpg, and a small caption
after it.
Everything worked fine.
Today I opened the document just to see that the first (house.jpg) and third
(boris.png) images are missing.
No, I don't mean that writer show me "image not found" placeholder. They simply
missing.
What the heck.
I really want to use Writer over Word because it have table styles. But I
simply cannot. Writer is actually pre-pre-alpha. How can I use software that
will sinetly, like a Japanese shinobi, kill my data, harm my documents?
This is the worst possible thing the software can do. Silently. Harm. User's.
Files.
I would be OK to pay $500 for S T A B L E Writer. But. If LO if so unstable,
then maybe you should make a public announce that this is just
pre-pre-pre-alpha and nobody should take it seriously unless the version 0.5 is
ready?
The problem is not just missing images. Few years ago there was a similar bug
(now fixed) when Writer silently removed any formatting. That is, you will
notice the missing formatting only when you open the document next time.
Everybody blame Microsoft FUD (Fear, uncertainty, and doubt) "propaganda" about
open-source software. I don't care what Microsoft says, but the bugs like the
ones described above do exactly the same: they make me feel fear, uncertainty,
and doubt. How can I trust the software after this? It's like one night you
awaked and see your wife with a knife near your neck, and she crazy laught. It
would be quite hard to trust her after this, right?
