Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71999
Saving an odt-document impossible, without error
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:11 UTC
I've got a 1 MB odt-document containing some tables, pictures, text. Since short time, without having done anything specific, when saving the document, the process indicator stops at about 70 % and thats it, task manager says "no response", no real error message occurs. I'm using the newest writer version 2.0.4 and my RAM is 2 GB. I would make available this document for other guys to help me, but don't know where to upload it. - Is there a way to track the document, to see where exactly in it (at which position or text-element) the problem occurs? Thank you for helping me, Ulli (uscholz)
Created attachment 40923 [details] file which is not savable with writer since short time
Reassigned to ES.
Created attachment 42534 [details] Warning upon opening the document
When trying to open the file Oo displays a message regarding macros being present in this document which might potentially contain viruses. (see attachment) Clicking on "Disable Macros", the document opens with no problems. Clicking on "Enable Macros", the document opens with no problems. Changing some text and saving takes a huge amount of time, but it _does_ save in the end. I did _not_ notice a high amount of CPU usage. RAM allocated to Oo while saving this document hovers around 70MB. Bug not reproducible on my machine (Win XP SP1, 512MB RAM Oo 2.0.4).
I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can confirm the reported effect: save process seems to stop at 75% save progress, but after app. 1/4 hour the save process will come to an end. I checked with "2.2.0 Dev. Snapshot WIN XP: [680m7(Build9118)]" and it still takes a long time to save the document, but not as long as with 2.0.2. Strange observations; When I open 'SzInfosLE.zip' with 2.0.2 the Macro warning box will appear 2 times, the second one 1-2 seconds after the first one. In the Macro dialogues I see listed a Python macro 'C:Programme\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword' The document contains 2 linked contents (pls. test 'Edit > Links') what do not exist, (2. Foil MAD / look at Foil #4?). Currently It seems that the document is damaged, but of course, it should be possible to save it within a normal time.
ES->MBA: I think about a duplicate of issue 7553 but this time while saving. The document contains a lot of hyperlinks (among them, Server or local Windows-like links). Reproduced on Windows. No problem on Linux. Please have a look.
target 3.0
not fixed until code freeze, moved to next possible target
Saving the document takes so long because the export filter tries to check if URLs respect case sensitivity. This requires to get volume information for each and every part of a URL. In case of UNC pathes this is quite expensive (and takes even longer if the path does not exist). There is no simple way to fix that. The right way would be not touching URLs on loading and saving at all. But that would require a lot of other changes in the code to make sure that URLs respect case sensitivity and relative or absolute references. Honestly speaking, I doubt that this will happen soon. The only reason why I set the target to 3.x and not to "OOoLater" is that it might be possible to fix that in our planned effort for better performance.
