Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1621
cant's open file after crash
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
After a unrecoverable error in startwriter, the document can't be opened again. To not be able to open a previous document is very serious, is there a tool that can show the error in the file and then correct it? This has happend on both Solaris and Linux versions of 6.38 and Staroffice 5.2 so there is something strange! /michael

This vague description looks like "not reproducible" so far. In general, file recovery used to work in SO5.2 so there is some more description needed to sort out what happene with your OO. You are right when saying that file recovery is important and we know this as well as we know that it gets dark after sunset ;-) Make it reproducible somehow (with a step-by-step description or with a file). Otherwise it must be closed. Please comment. Thank you.
The submitter told me in a direct mail that the file already made its way to the developer and that he said this problem will be fixed in the next build. I wonder how this could happen without being mentioned here, but fixed is fixed...
Test: Set to issue to verified.
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details.
