Bug ID: 90232
Summary: Master document does not parses a sub master document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Use the following was an example of a fairly complex master document that
unifies several other documents and master documents. It's basic structure is
something like this:
everything (master document)
introduction (writer document)
other stuff (writer document)
chapters (master document)
chapter 1 (master document)
chapter 1 theme (writer document)
chapter 1 development (writer document)
...
chapter N (master document)
chapter N theme (writer document)
chapter N development (writer document)
conclusion (writer document)
index
Regardless of the "why" for such a document, this structure was working very
well. However, when I upgraded my LibreOffice to 4.4.1.2 the document stopped
to work properly, specifically, LibreOffice says that it cannot find the .odm
files inside the parent master document, but if I try to edit one of them it
opens it without a problem:
everything (master document) -> Opens, does not show sub documents of type .odm
[...]
chapters (master document) -> appears on the list of sub-documents, is not
found by the parent master document, but right-click->Edit opens it
chapter 1 (master document) -> appears on the list of sub-documents, is
not found by the parent master document, but right-click->Edit opens it
chapter 1 theme (writer document)
chapter 1 development (writer document)
[...]
At first I thought that it was some missing configuration and made a request
for assistance on ask.libreoffice.org
(http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/47932/my-master-document-does-not-parses-a-sub-master-document/),
however user 'oweng' demonstrated that it was actually an inconsistent
behaviour from LibreOffice:
"Ok. That explains what I am seeing under v4.2. I have now tested behaviour
under versions: 3.3.41, 3.4.6.2, 3.5.7.2, 3.6.7.2, 4.0.6.2, 4.1.6.2, 4.2.8.2,
4.3.5.2, and 4.4.1.2. Only the 3.6, 4.0, and 4.1 series allow insertion of an
ODM into an ODM. It would be worth raising a bug report to get the behaviour
clarified.

The insertion of an ODM into another ODM is a quite useful functionality, and I
am uncertain if it is and error of those previous versions of LibreOffice or
from the more recent ones. Please notice that no warning is raised on those
ODM's, actually on LibreOffice 4.4 I can select an ODM to insert into my master
document but then LibreOffice does nothing at all, not even warns about such a
action not being possible/permited.
