Note: there are others that go 'fuzzy/small' when saved with DEV300M56 94 - 100, 102 - 103, 107 as well. > > Here you will notice that all the pictures up to and including EXACTLY slide > 30 > are gone.

I did a file save as with ttp://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/OO/20090825-BibleSchool-3.2.0-005.odp using DEV300M56 (OOo-Dev_DEV300_m56_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz) and all the slides appear. However several others turned fuzzy/small as well as indicated above. > > One thing that comes to mind is that I used a VERY RECENT build of > GraphicsMagick to resize all 110 photos.

I will get back to you with the results... >From http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104146 that Ganesha pointed out, it appears that this happens if thumbnail previews are saved with the photo. I'll have to do a little more experimenting w/M56 to test, but could it be that when you resized with GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick that the fuzzy/small photos were saved with thumbnail preview? If so that information will be helpful in the bug report. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
