Tyler says he is using 4.0.4.2. OP is using LibreOffice-4.1.3.2. Is it a problem only with recent LibreOffices? Let me upgrade my LibreOffice and report back.

Hi, This problem was also reported by Tyler Smith a couple of weeks back. I confirmed it and did a little checking. Unfortunately I also sort of promised a patch, which I never got around to. Instead, let me report what I've found about the syntax: It seems LibreOffice 4.1 now requires that draw:frame elements wrapping images be uniquely named with the draw:name attribute if there's more than one of them. Multiple uncaptioned images fail because Org currently wraps them in frames without these attributes. e.g. a simple document containing [[file:test1.jpg]] [[file:test2.jpg]] results in unnamed image frames, e.g. for the first image of the example: draw:frame draw:style-name=OrgDisplayImage svg:width=12.70cm svg:height=12.70cm text:anchor-type=paragraph draw:image xlink:href=Images/0001.jpg xlink:type=simple xlink:show=embed xlink:actuate=onLoad/ /draw:frame This now results in a read error in LibreOffice 4.1. LibreOffice uses draw:name=graphics1, graphics2 etc. for the draw:frame element when a picture is inserted, but I think any unique value will do. The problem does not occur if you add captions to the images. Then the draw:frame gets a draw:name attribute containing the caption text. e.g. #+caption: A picture [[file:test1.jpg]] #+caption: Another picture [[file:test2.jpg]] exports without a problem, because it results in draw:frame elements like (for the first picture of the example): draw:frame draw:style-name=OrgCaptionedImage (...) draw:name=A picture text:anchor-type=paragraph ^ However, this only works as long as each caption is unique. If you have more than one image with identical #+captions, even if they have different #+names, you get the read error. So we may need a fix for the corner case of identical captions as well. I haven't checked what other elements may be affected by similar new requirements besides images. Yours, Christian

Just adding 'draw:name=Image%u' and incrementing the index after each use seems to be enough. Alternatively, '#+NAME:' seems to be a much better choice than #+CAPTION. Enrico

Just adding 'draw:name=Image%u' and incrementing the index after each use seems to be enough. Indeed, that sounds like a simple all-round fix, and better than one solution for uncaptioned images and a fragile one for captioned ones. Did a quick test replacing the draw:name attributes for captioned images with such generic names, and it didn't seem to cause any problems. Alternatively, '#+NAME:' seems to be a much better choice than #+CAPTION. But not a good one, since users do not necessarily name images. Yours, Christian

7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)] The exporter(s) are re-written. You should be using Org-8.*. Use Elpa M-x list-packages and install the org package. or install from tar file or git. orgmode.org/worg has instructions on how to use the new exporters. If problem persists with new exporter, let me know. I will be happy to share a fix.

E.g. running (org-export-as-odt) on test.org --- * Test [[file:s01.png]] [[file:s01.png]] - and trying to open it with 'oowrite test.odt' gives a Read-Error/Error reading file message. ODT created after removing one of the images is ok. It seems that libreoffice requires an unique 'draw:name' attribute for 'draw:frame' tags. This can be set by '#+CAPTION' (and the resulting ODT is working) but this option is not suitable for inline images.
