John <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from John <[email protected]> --- This is a common fault reported on the forum - search with lost images etc, and you will get many posts including Images disappeared again today at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=80925. I have done some analysis of the problem as a forum volunteer and I believe it may be related to the use of the generic (ie available to all including disk cleaning utilities) C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\ folder for Writer temporary files (Windows 7). Writer creates a FOLDER with a name like ...\Temp\sv1kposb.tmp for its temporary files, and places its temporary files in that folder. Whereas the temporary file for the .odt is protected by being set to OPEN, none of the tmp files for the images are so protected. All images can therefore be deleted by any rogue application on the PC. When the image temporary files are so deleted, the user gets the empty frames plus error message. Images are flushed from memory to the temporary folder after the time set in Tools > Options > OpenOffice > Memory > Graphics cache ..., which is set to 10 minutes by default. Some disk cleaning utilities will delete anything in C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\ which is over 24 hours old - if you hibernate a laptop with an open document the images become EXTREMELY vulnerable when older than 24. The other settings in Tools > Options > OpenOffice > Memory > Graphics cache ..., look very small for today's PCs - only 20 MB for graphics is very small. LibreOffice now defaults to 200 MB and I think even that could be sensibly increased. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
