There are constant reports of images going missing in OO Writer. The problem is not consistently reproducible, but is there nevertheless. A recent report suggests it might be memory related: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41271&p=353246#p353246
It is also informative to move back along that thread for other instances of the problem. I doubt that we can dismiss all occurrences of this problem as "finger trouble" (i.e., improper user usage). Might it be time to consider increasing the maximum memory allocation for graphics (currently 256 MB) and to review the memory management of the suggested compilers? Also, in case the problem arises from background processing which has not completed on shut down of OO, ought a "please wait" flag be displayed, a flag specifically keyed to any such background process? In these days of large memory 256MB is a very small allocation. Having observed OO's use of memory with large text (not graphics) files I note that its allocation and consumption of memory is increasingly slower as the amount of memory used by it increases. It is most certainly not linear - I have no accurate method of deciding if the increase in slowness is geometric or even exponential. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
