Please, is there any way to automatically detect all (or a significant portion of) corrupted .odt files (= LibreOffice reports that they can´t be opened after trying to do so / LibreOffice crashes after trying to open them without finally opening them etc.) within any folder and its subfolders? Or the best I can do is to open them manually? Thank you.
Without the operating system known, a general direction could be: create a shell script (because a macro won’t work, we know in advance that LibreOffice will crash) that would iterate the files, and run soffice --cat path/to/file.odt. For each call, check the process returned value (it will be non-0 for crashes), and cerr output (it will be “Error: source file could not be loaded” for those that couldn’t be loaded).

It is probably possible to do this directly in LibreOffice if you call another instance of LO to check the file using the -env:UserInstallation parameter.

right, using LibreOffice as a shell is also an option
I’ll try now.
You can use the TestOdtFiles macro.
An optional parameter is the folder for testing. If you do not specify it when calling the macro, the user will be prompted for it.
