--- Comment #13 from John <[email protected]> --- Sorry - it lost my text. I have just lost the images in a 1.5MB .odt file I was editing. I wrote the analysis which lead to this issue being opened where I suggested that images might be being lost because they were unprotected in the \Temp fiolder and were somehow being deleted. This case is different BECAUSE THE TEMPORARY FILES WERE STILL IN THE TEMPORARY FOLDER EVEN THOUGH I WAS GETTING THE READ ERROR ERROR MESSAGE. It seems therefore as though Writer itself "lost contact" with the images while I was editing the document. Then, when I saved the document, even though the images were still in the temporary folder, Writer did not save them. I opened the 1.5MB .odt file and switched on Edit > Changes. I had been working on it for about 5 minutes, and made about 10 changes when I scrolled and noticed the READ ERROR (see uploaded attachment) where there should have been an image. I scrolled through the entire document and every image was showing the error. Note that the attachment shows the THREE error meessages I was getting for the ONE missing image. Other READ ERROR messages seemed to have bits of the diocument text in the brown frames. I immediately went to C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\ and located the temporary folder in use. I was editing just the one document and there was only one temporary folder which was a Writer file being edited. When I opened the folder, I could see the "large" first file - which I believe is the .odt text file itself - and many smaller files which are normally, and I took them to be, the image files. Stupidly, I did not make a copy of the folder and its contents - sorry :-(. I then saved the .odt file. When I re-opened it, it was only 54kB and all the images were lost. I unzipped the .odt and there was no Pictures folder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
