JoshYang <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #7 from JoshYang <[email protected]> --- I've upgraded the RAM of my laptop to 32GB. I can confirm the problem has gone away with all the files that produces this issue. But hold your horses, this doesn't mean there isn't an issue with the Libreoffice code: 1) Libreoffice shouldn't copy all of the file to RAM when saving. It makes no sense, work in chunks. Your putting an artifical practical limit of 256GB on file sizes. And let's be real, it will be more like 8-32GB for most users. And being more real, modern OSes, with something running in the background and the OS not allowing a program to use up last remaining gigabyte of RAM (like in my case) means ~6-7GB is already occupied, that leaves only 500-1000MB avilable for LO. That's not a lot and not at all hard to exceed for a large (50+ pages) document with a lot of uncompressed embedded image files. 2) The error message is useless, as we've seen in this discussion and many similar ones over the years about this. It simply tells you where the program couldn't proceed, not why. LO should check the RAM data and be able to provide an actual warning/error. At least put a "Out of RAM?" in the popup window. 3) LibreOffice should be able to use the swap memory for this when the RAM isn't available. I set up 32GB of swap memory and LO refused to use any of it when saving the file and throwing the errror. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
