Created attachment 101476 [details] Shows the folder ObjectReplacements in the *.odb-file Open a new database-file, which hasn't any report. Create a new report. Save the report. Execute the report. Save the database-file. Have a look for the size of the file. Close the database-file and reopen it. Open the report for editing. You edit anything, only save the file again. Save the database-file. Have a look for the size of the file. In all tests here the size was bigger tan before. The size would be much bigger if there is an image-control in the report, which reads pictures from outside of the report. I fist detected this with a database and a report, which shows only 3 pictures, which are linked by the table of the database. The database-file blowed up to 16MB. There is a folder "report" inside the database-file, which contains all reports. After editing a report the second time it shows a subfolder "ObjectReplacements" with a file "report". Don't know why, but this file is the big one. You could delete the subfolder "ObjectReplacements" in a packaging-software and the *.odb-file would work without any problems. This subfolder shouldn't be created. It isn't used by the Report-Builder afterwords.
Created attachment 101477 [details] Two databases, one with folder ObjectReplacements, the other without Open the database without ObjectReplacements (6,8kb). Open the report for editing, save the report, save the database-file, close the database-file. Now have a look at the size of the database-file. Would be blown up to over 700kB. Now take a picture of your digital-cam. Replace the picture picture.jpg by the picture of your digital-cam. Rename the picture as picture.jpg so the database would read this new picture. Open the database, open the report for editing, save the report, save the database-file, close the database-file. You would notice LO had something to do - works not as fast as before. Now have a look at the size of the database-file. With tests of a 2,8 MB *.jpg-File here the database-file blows up to 11,2 MB.
I can confirm this bug, tested with Opensuse 13.1 64bit und LIbreOffice Version: 4.3.0.0.beta1 Build ID: 2e39c7e59c8fc8b16a54c3d981dceef27fb0c07f. and set status to NEW
Hello Robert, *, I can confirm this bug with LO Version: 4.1.6.2 Build-ID: 40ff705089295be5be0aae9b15123f687c05b0a, Version 4.2.5.2 Build-ID: 61cb170a04bb1f12e77c884eab9192be736ec5f5 4.3.0.1 Build-ID: 9ed0c4329cf13f882dab0ee8b9ecd7b05e4aafbb, and AOO 4.3.0.1 Build-ID: 9ed0c4329cf13f882dab0ee8b9ecd7b05e4aafbb (all but the first parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel) with installed Germanophone lang- as well as helppack under Debian Testing i686 ... :( It seems, that LO / AOO copies the image into pictures_in_reports_without_ObjectReplacements/reports/Obj11/ObjectReplacements/report instead of only linking it. When I create the report (after I have started LO from command line), I get <snip> org.pentaho.reporting.libraries.base.boot.PackageManager loadModule WARNUNG: Exception while loading module:

On MacOs 10.9.3 with master sources updated today, I just tested first part of comment 1 and reproduced the problem.
