The fix is available in private repository: http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-kjn.git As far as schema validation with .rnc files go, draw:name is an optional attribute of draw:frame. So, I am not sure why LibreOffice is insisting on draw:name to exist and be unique. Due to the above issue, I have also retired the support for short-caption. See my not pertaining to LibreOffice upgrades here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-12/msg00477.html Due to this issue, I proposed that I maintain ox-odt.el right within Emacs bzr repo. Unfortunately, it resulted in some heated exchanges. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00509.html To the people who rely on ODT exporter for their day to day use and want it as part of Emacs 1. Find someone with Copyright Assignment to fix the critical issue(s). 2. Write to Gnu/Linux distributors - Debian, Gentoo etc - and persuade them to apply patches from my private repo before building the org-mode or Emacs deb packages. Download the files. Don't use git. The files relevant to ODT are 1. lisp/ox-odt.el 2. etc/styles 3. etc/schema 4. contrib/lisp/ox-jabref.el (3) above is optional. (4) is needed if you need export citations with JabRef.

This issue is a bit unfortunate. Please don't modify your Org files. I will circulate a fix - if not a fix, atleast a workaround - in another day. Jambunathan K.

Hence I did not follow up the post (IIRC, Christian was also indicating a "no issue".) http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/78579 I am using LibreOffice 4.0.1.2. Tyler says he is using 4.0.4.2. OP is using LibreOffice-4.1.3.2. Is it a problem only with recent LibreOffices? Let me upgrade my LibreOffice and report back.

Indeed, that sounds like a simple all-round fix, and better than one solution for uncaptioned images and a fragile one for captioned ones. Did a quick test replacing the draw:name attributes for captioned images with such generic names, and it didn't seem to cause any problems. > Alternatively, '#+NAME:' seems to be a much better choice than > #+CAPTION. But not a good one, since users do not necessarily name images. Yours, Christian

Why do we need meaningful 'draw:name' values at all? And why use the caption for it? Just adding 'draw:name="Image%u"' and incrementing the index after each use seems to be enough. Alternatively, '#+NAME:' seems to be a much better choice than #+CAPTION. Enrico

Hi, This problem was also reported by Tyler Smith a couple of weeks back. I confirmed it and did a little checking. Unfortunately I also sort of promised a patch, which I never got around to. Instead, let me report what I've found about the syntax: It seems LibreOffice 4.1 now requires that draw:frame elements wrapping images be uniquely named with the draw:name attribute if there's more than one of them. Multiple uncaptioned images fail because Org currently wraps them in frames without these attributes. e.g. a simple document containing [[file:test1.jpg]] [[file:test2.jpg]] results in unnamed image frames, e.g. for the first image of the example: This now results in a read error in LibreOffice 4.1. LibreOffice uses draw:name="graphics1", "graphics2" etc. for the draw:frame element when a picture is inserted, but I think any unique value will do. The problem does not occur if you add captions to the images. Then the draw:frame gets a draw:name attribute containing the caption text. e.g. #+caption: A picture [[file:test1.jpg]] #+caption: Another picture [[file:test2.jpg]] exports without a problem, because it results in draw:frame elements like (for the first picture of the example): ^ However, this only works as long as each caption is unique. If you have more than one image with identical #+captions, even if they have different #+names, you get the read error. So we may need a fix for the corner case of identical captions as well. I haven't checked what other elements may be affected by similar new requirements besides images. Yours, Christian

> 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)] The exporter(s) are re-written. You should be using Org-8.*. Use Elpa M-x list-packages and install the org package. or install from tar file or git. orgmode.org/worg has instructions on how to use the "new exporters". If problem persists with new exporter, let me know. I will be happy to share a fix.
