--- Comment #5 from Bernard Gray <[email protected]> 2012-03-25 19:08:35 UTC --- I had a chat with some guys in the LibreOffice irc channel - and got an answer on the problem: The crux of the issue is that from 3.4.6 onwards (ODF format 1.2), they are using an AES256 encryption algorithm for password protection, and previously (ODF format 1.1 and earlier) the blowfish algorithm was used. You can workaround the issue by setting the default save settings to ODF 1.1, under Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General -> ODF Format Version -> "1.0/1.1" Obviously the risk with this workaround is that the older ODF version may not support features in your document, but this could be used as a temporary workaround while transitioning clients to current LOo/OOo versions. I guess this makes it invalid as a bug, but certainly a difficult situation that could potentially be handled differently/better - here's some suggestions: 1. ODF 1.2 to support blowfish AND AES256. If a document has already saved as Blowfish, continue to save it as blowfish, with a warning. 2. Add a more granular setting in the Load/Save options - instead of forcing the entire suite to use odf 1.1 or 1.2, allow a choice of encryption method instead. ie ODF 1.2, blowfish cipher 3. Update the error message so that it is informational, for dealing with future unsupported encryption methods. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
