Hi,
recently, OO 4.1.14 crashed on my Manjaro Linux system while a database
was open with some changes not yet saved. Consequently, the database
could not be repaired by the built-in recovery tool. I found the following:
1. The tables seem all to be in order (I can open them)
2. There are some forms which have either a corrupted styles.xml or
content.xml file. If I open those forms, The database causes OO to
crash. The size of the files is 0 bytes.
3. There are some reports in which either styles.xml, settings.xml or
content.xml are corrupted. Some show 0 bytes, others have a few kB size.
Those have no clear text but some strange characters like
ÂPÐ_{
(that's only a very short excerpt).
My idea is, since I have older copies of the database where the same
forms and reports are included, to copy the files from those older
copies in order to replace the corrupted ones. Is this a possible
approach? I would, of course, have to re-zip the file after this. Or is
it better to remove the corrupted files (or rather forms and reports)
and redo them? I'm not sure if that would work, in case there is
somewhere a list of forms and reports which contains the then missing
ones and would complain or again cause OO to crash.
In case someone wants to suggest to send the database to him or her for
repair, I must decline, because the database contains highly sensitve
data and I would commit a criminal offense if I hand over the file to a
strange person.
Regards,
Martin
