Bug #: 51069
Summary: FILEOPEN: REPEATED FAILURE TO OPEN ODT FILES
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Due to my job as a teacher, I use a wide variety of platforms: Windows XP,
Vists, Seven; OpenSuse and Ubuntu with several desktops. During this 2011/2012
term I have found a lot of problems using LibreOffice while opening files:
- Repeatedly, LibreOffice will fail to open odt and ods files and report them
as broken.
- The recovery process is not consistent: sometimes it recovers all data and
formats, sometimes it recovers the data but only part of the formats (failure
in type, size, etc), sometimes the file is lost completely.
- This happens both with old documents created with old versions and documents
created with the latest versions.
- This failure is fairly consistent and widespread enough for me to pinpoint a
particular occurrence. It happens so often that I have had to resort to saving
everything as pdf, which renders the document unusable for further editing.
- The failure is happening ever since the first LibreOffice was released, all
versions are equally prone to produce the failure.
I am a strong advocate of free software and I know how hard The Document
Foundation and the community work on this and other projects, but this bug has
become nearly unbearable. It is extremely annoying, and I keep slowly losing
documents (class documents, papers, exams) that I cannot afford to lose. It has
become so grave that I have had to resort to other solutions.
I have gone through the related bug reports and don't seem able to find any
regarding such a general failure. I hope I am not being very annoying.
Thank you for your excellent work and efforts.
