--- Comment #5 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Correction to my report. The statement: >(...) > b) could not replicate in on Windows with inserted Writer documents as OLE > objects. (...) is no longer correct. I can replicate it. My confusion was due to the fact that "save" operation doesn't do anything until there is a change in a document text even tough the view of document did change and is apparently saved in document. Currently I can observe, that even with a SINGLE linked view what is seen through linked view after an update reflects what was visible in inserted document during recent save. I may agree that having two views of the same object may be something developers did not thought about. The fact however that information stored inside an odt file about a single view looks like: <draw:object xlink:href="../B.odt" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/> shows that there is absolutely no information about what region of document is to be displayed. This is, I think, conceptually wrong. Sadly I can't see in ODF specs anything what could suggest a kind of "view port" transformation which ought to be applied to object, but I am not an expert in it. I can agree that for <draw:object-ole>, where drawing is fully controlled by an unknown application this may be a problem, but for well known open document objects it should be doable. As it is now there is absolutely no point in using this functionality because it will only produce a confusion. So possibly it is not a programming bug but a conceptual overlook. @m.a.riosv DDE is no-go, because such a document won't be portable open document anymore (docs do say: "windows only"). I agree that I can get to expected goal in many different ways, but I tried to do it using that functionality since it looked ideal for the purpose. With it working as I expected I could have the computing power of Calc with visual elegance of Writer documents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
