Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23154
graphics disapear within documents "Read Error"
Last modified: 2004-02-10 12:15:18 UTC
After inserting a graphic (*.jpg) into a text-document, the graphic will disappear after a while ("Read Error" shows up at the place of the graphik).
document was protected by a password. may be this is important.
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem. Please explain more about your problem, your information is not enough to investigate the problem. Please explain step by step how to reproduce the problem. Thanks
shotlen, this read error mostly appears when the graphic had been inserted with the "link" option enabled. So when the file is moved to a different place on the computer OOo can't find the graphic which had been linked to the file. So could you please check whether you had inserted the graphic with "link" enabled? In case you hadn't we need to have a look at a file with which we could reproduce the problem. So please attach an appropriate file, as utomo asked already. Thanks.
Thanks for assistance so far. In the meantime I found out, that this issue only occurs within password protected files (Writer). As a workarround I could protect the document when it's creation process is finished. I could reproduce the effect, so I'm nearly shure that the password protection feature causes the problem.
I have tried to reproduce the problem with inserting linked and nonlinked jpgs before saving with a password and linked and nonlinked jpgs after saving with a password. Reopened, all jpgs are there. What do you mean with "after a while"? One hour, after having worked on the file for one hour? After having opened and reopened the file several times? Are you sure that your graphics aren't linked? Check here: Righclick on (present or not present) graphic area > Graphics > Graphics, does the field "Link" contain a path to the graphics file?
yes I'm sure, thet the jpg s aren't linked. I've reproduced this issue with my newest project-document. Same issue. 1) created the document with .jpg graphics in the text and in the footer 2) saved without password 3) reopened -> no problem 4) saved as another filename for testing 5) saved with password 6) changed the size of a .jpg graphic 7) error something like : "...graphic can not be displayed" 8) saved again (clicked the disk-button in the menue-bar) 9) closed 10) reopened 11) some .jpg graphics are completly dissappeared, some are still there I'll try to upload the document. Thanks !!!
Tried to reproduce following your instructions. I can't. Could it be an OS related Issue? Waiting for your bugdoc.

Thanks for providing the bugdoc. Actually, I can't find any traces of any jpgs. No "Read Error", nothing. It looks as if there have never been any graphics in there (except the OLE graphics from Calc). Could you tell me on which pages to look for graphics? There are large empty areas which follow hard page breaks. Some have red circles, are the graphics missing there? Could you please attach a file not being saved with a password yet, which still contains and displays the jpgs? I could try to reproduce your problem with this new bugdoc.
There were graphics in the footer (a gull) and yes, were you saw the red circles, there was an jpeg too. I will upload another Doc. with all the correct jpeg s without an password, for comparison. Thanks for asistance!

see issue 16297, this is not realy your issue, but your issue is related to this, also to internal bug 112192. the disappearence of the images depends on the password. this will be fixed in OOo1.1.1 final. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 16297 ***
