Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5503
Impress does not open a readonly MS Powerpoint 97 document
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:54:41 UTC
Impress does not import a Powerpoint 97 document located on a mounted CD-Rom drive. I tried opening the file from KDEs Konqueror - Impress gets started (splash screen) and quits shortly after without failure notice or drawing the main screen. I also started Impress (without parameters) from the console, opened a new presentation and tried to open the file from the file-dialog - again no crash, no failure notice, Impress is completly unimpressed (as if I've done nothing at all). There is no output in the console, too. If I copy the file to a local directory and give me write permissions everything is fine. The problem doesn't show up in the Windows version. OpenOffice Linux version: 1.0.0 precompiled, localized (german) build for glibc 2.2.* and kernel 2.4.* OpenOffice Window version: 1.0.0 precompiled, localized (german) build Linux Version: SuSE Linux 8.0 (kernel 2.4.18, glibc 2.2.5) Windows Version: Windows 98
Reassigned to Christian.
Set to new.
Andreas, if this problem still exists in the latest version of OOo, feel free to post a new issue.
I close the issue.
