There have been many reports of OpenOffice files Writer and Impress (not sure
about Calc), of all versions, suddenly losing pictures, and leaving only a
blank frame.
I use the Xubuntu LTS versions, running usually the latest Apache OpenOffice,
more recently the 4.5.0 nightlies. I have not used Windows since 2007/8, so
cannot say if the following remarks have relevance to that version
LibreOffice have fixed the problem of picture loss, at a cost (from memory) of
44,000 euro.
I regularly make and re-edit Impress presentations, some of considerable size
(~100+ slides, for later selection) and some of 10/12 years of age, and have
found a method that seems to overcome the picture loss.
My files are stored on a network addressed storage; I have disabled "Save
Autorecovery every n seconds" (entering 0); in more than 9 years of using that
setting in OpenOffice, both in the creation and editing of large Impress presentations of
100+ slides containing images and also of several illustrated booklets, I have never lost
pictures. Prior to disabling the AutoRecovery process, I regularly did lose images.
My guess is that the AutoRecovery process, when it happens, does not correctly
preserve the existing OpenOffice environment, perhaps itself being interrupted
by input keystrokes from the User.
I do not offer this as a sure-fire solution, but merely record my experience
Thank you for sharing your experience!
A memory corruption may be the main problem, but pictures nowadays are
typically much bigger than they were, when OO was designed.
That said, I would like to increase the memory settings at least for
trunk/AOO42X.
Default is now:
Graphics cache: 20 MB, 5.2 MB per object, Remove after 10 minutes. 20
Objects
Opinions?
just in crease the settings. What about 100 MB and 10 MB for each object?
