I just did the following: - Started LibreOffice - Created a new document, typed a few words, then saved it password-protected - Closed it to return to the start screen: no preview image, and when clicked it ask for the password - Closed libreoffice, started it again: still no preview image, still asking for password I'd say that the start screen doesn't bypass the password protection mechanism in any way: it doesn't disclose a preview of the document, nor keep an unencrypted copy anywhere. Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't get the problem here. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
