I use a lot of writer docs with many pictures in it. when I review the comment, the auto-save is running and from time to time, it seems to have problem, even if no warning appear. I know there is a problem as all the pictures disappear (only a square remains claiming "reading error" ) Often it affect all the writer document open if they also have even only one pictures (most have at list a logo…)

It is new since libreoffice 3.4 I never had this problem before.

But as it is not a strict and clear bug, I don't know how to qualify it. Moreover it happens only since the recent big update in Linux Mint LMDE (The change includes changing to libreoffice 3.4) So it could be a Linux Mint bug…

I don't think hardware limitation … 4gb of ram + swap

but maybe something with memory options of libreoffice 3.4?

Any comments advices would be welcome.

Can help the options in Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Memory?. Defaults are too lows.

This is stilling happening sometimes, I create 2 photo album-like documents and crashed 3 times.

Besides, it's somewhat difficult to create a photo album-like document.

Improve the image processing?

This is really an egregious bug on what, IMHO, is pretty basic functionality. Can we PLEASE get a fix checked in on this ASAP?

I had the same problem with NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I've just moved to LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 which seems much better in many respects (can create .docx) but images still sometimes disappear (not always, which makes it all the more puzzling). I work around the problem by creating and sending PDFs but it's not really satisfactory.

Like the people above, I'd really appreciate a solution.

Not resolved, I'm using LibreOffice Writer 3.5.6.2 on Windows 7 32-bits, and have the same problem.

Can a developer please help us and provide a fix?

Thank you,

I have exactly the same problem in Impress and it seems to be still there in 3.6.4 under windows XP. It is happening for large presentations and frnakly becoming a show stopper since I prepare university lectures.

Seems the same as bug Bug #: 53227

I am having exactly the same problem. I am trying to make a diary of a vacation, including 90 or so pictures. The pictures are large. However every so often it will autosave, and at that point it will crash and then when I open it up, a bunch of pictures will have disappeared. I wonder if the problem has to do with memory, but I have 16GB of memory and am running Windows 8 64bit, so that doesn't make sense - unless there is a setting somewhere I need to increase.
