Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 4.2 Proposal.

Hi :)
I wonder if the file is stored in some weird format such as the MS
formats?  The native ODF formats seem to work just fine :)

If it is a case of the format not working properly then it's still worth
posting a bug-report about it.  Part of the bug-reporting process is to see
if there is already a bug-report and if so then you might be able to help
by letting them know version numbers and things that might help pin-point
the problem.  This wiki-guide helps with all that;

Regards from
Tom :)

Indeed. There must be another problem with Gilberts situation.

​I just did the following:
- Started LibreOffice
- Created a new document, typed a few words, then saved it
password-protected
- Closed it to return to the start screen: no preview image, and when
clicked it ask for the password
- Closed libreoffice, started it again: still no preview image​, still
asking for password
I'd say that the start screen doesn't bypass the password protection
mechanism in any way: it doesn't disclose a preview of the document, nor
keep an unencrypted copy anywhere.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't get the problem here.
