Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Presentation slide does not show graphics visible in 'Normal'
Hi :) You might be suffering from an extremely rare and intermittent bug so it would be great if you could post a bug-report about it and let them know what you have tried already that didn't work https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport You might find a few duplicates and 1 might match your case more closely than any of the others. if so please try to add to that instead of creating a fresh new thread. Most of the time if this bug does ever surface then it seems to happen if you have "Auto-backup" or "Auto-save type features on. if you switch them off the bug vanishes Tools - Options - Load/Save - General and untick options such as "Always create back-up copy". I think it's been about a year since we last saw anyone suffering with this bug so it's not an easy one to pin down and fix! Most people using the back-up and auto-saving options are completely fine however much they try to set-up things to reproduce the problem. You might even find that if you switch the options off and then next week switch them back on again that you also find it tough to lose images. Regards from Tom :) From: Paul D.

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects are useful during the design phase, but can be twice the size of a regular image.

In addition to reducing file size, Presentation Minimizer can remove speaker notes and hidden slides so that you don't accidentally publish confidential information.

There is a tick box at the bottom of the "Insert picture" dialogue. If you choose links, there should be no difference if you view the presentation or export it as PDF on the same system, where the images are still available at the same paths. But if access to the image files is no longer available (maybe they were on a removable device which you have removed) they cannot be displayed. And if you move the presentation to another system before displaying or exporting it, the image files will again no longer be available at the same paths. Another possibility, I think, is simply insufficient memory on your system to display the images. What happens if you close other applications? Does that help? Will the presentation display correctly on another system with more memory? You can tinker with memory settings at Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Memory. Does that help? If memory is the problem, could you improve things by reducing the resolution of the images? You may have high-resolution images suitable for printing in large format. But that could be far higher resolution than can be displayed in a presentation. You could pre-process (copies of) your images to reduce the resolution - and therefore file size - to something suitable for display on a screen. Does that help? You could test fairly easily whether the problem is fundamental or related to the number and size of your images. Just make a copy of your presentation and delete all but a very few slides and images. Does a reduced version work correctly, or is the problem deeper? As I say, I'm guessing at all this, so take this with a pinch of salt. I trust this helps.

"Solved" or better: explained: I did it all on my netbook, with 2 GB of RAM, and yet, it seems insufficient to display images added. They are simply scrapped, and they are scrapped when converting into PDF. The same file shows on another system without fail as complete slide. I tried starting Libreoffice after a fresh reboot with nothing else active. So I guess that the problem is not memory but display size. I tried another display, by the way, with the same result. What is still bad, is that it drops the images silently in both cases (Slide Show and PDF-conversion). What I'd expect Libreoffice to do, is to inform me should anything go wrong.
