So I’m having some issues with including an external file as an ole object. This issue has shown up in 7.2.5 (Which I have currently, 7.3.0, and 7.3.1. It never happened in 7.0 or 7.1, which I was running up until about a week ago. I’ve installed 7.1.8 which doesn’t have this issue.
Here’s what happens:
I open a file with OLE objects. In this case, it’s a Writer document with Calc OLE files. If I hit “Yes” to loading any updated info from the linked files, I get a slew of “temp file is locked”. I haven’t counted, but it seems to be one for each of the linked files I have.
It also happens whenever I try to insert a new file. This is either deleting the exisiting OLE object and replacing it with a new one, or inserting a new object from a new or existing file.
I also get this warning box every time I try to do anything to the OLE object, such as change the properties or go in and edit it.
This happens on an empty, new Writer document with a freshly-saved new Calc document with test data, so I doubt it’s outdated files.
Unsurprisingly, if I don’t link the files, it doesn’t object since it’s not trying to re-load them. But re-loading them is precisely what I want it to do so not linking them is a no-go.
I’d like to be able to include OLE objects linked to other files, and also have the more up to date version of Libre Office. Is there something I’m missing here?
