Description florianP 2011-02-15 14:15:24 UTC
Created attachment 43400 [details]
clean and corrupted otd files, with its template and a text.odt

I think the meta information in my odp file is deleted when using the odt file as an OLE object from writer.

How to reproduce : (zip file included)

 In writer Insert/Object/OLE Object
   create from file 'avec_modeleOK.odt' with LINK TO FILE
   OK
 Modify OLE object :
   double click on OLE
   scroll
   click elsewhere
 Save

Actual results :
 
  File avec_modeleOK.odp has been corrupted into avec_modelePASOK.odp :
    no meta.xml when unzipping the file
    when opened in impress, File/properties : no more link to the template.


Version used :
  LibreOffice 3.3.1    OOO330m19 (Build:7)
  tag libreoffice-3.3.1.1, Debian package 1:3.3.1~rc1-2

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)
