That is, they are completely > gone? Not quite correct. The process was: 1 I opened cover.odt. [I assume] This created the folder C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\sv3vbk93.tmp. 2 [I assume] This created sv3vbkgv.tmp (3,056 kB) which is the complete cover.odt file just renamed to sv3vbkgv.tmp. I can unzip this file and see the .odt file folders etc. 3 [I assume] Writer then flushed the 3MB image from memory and wrote sv3vku7z.tmp (3,033 kB). This is the image - I can open it with an image editor. 4 I shrunk the image, moved it, deleted a few words and then went on to the internet 5 I returned 10 minutes later and maximised the Writer window. I saw the error message and the image was gone. 6 I looked in the temporary folder and I saw the two files from (1) and (2) above, namely sv3vbkgv.tmp and sv3vku7z.tmp. 7 I still have the file open and I have not saved it yet. But Writer is not displaying the image. 8 Because the image temporary file sv3vku7z.tmp is still in C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\sv3vbk93.tmp I think this means that the Writer "information held in memory" has already "lost contact" with the image. The error message is not because Writer cannot see the image in the temp folder (which I what I postulated was the problem in my analysys which began this task). The errror message is because "Writer in memory has already lost the image in memory". 9 If I now save the file, I predict (based on what happened last time) that Writer will save just the text, will not save any information calling the image into the document, and therefore the saved .odt will have no reference to the image. When the saved document is opened, Writer will therefore not display an error message because Writer cannot see any information relating to the image - there is no statement in the saved content.xml asking for the image. Nor will there be a Pictures folder with the image file inside it in the .odt file. I can be emailed directly on john.ha24-at-yahoo.co.uk and can talk by phone f that will help. I apologise for reporting this on the metatask. Has a separate issue been raised for image loss? If so I will continue there and perhaps we can move th=ese reports there too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
