Again no takers for this question.

according to Sinclair who posted it in a different thread.

A temporary fix is posted here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33976347/kde4_filter2.patch

All my pictures in all files I opened with OO3.1 in Karmic disappeared. What a disaster! A fix after the fact does not help me with that.





In the latest version of Karmic Open Office is acting strangely.

I spent almost two days writing a chapter of my book, selecting pictures and inserting them into the text.
Saved the file on a memory stick and on a data drive.
this was before I went to a clean install of the latest version of 9.10 Beta.

When I opened the file, the pictures were all there.
I saved in (in ,doc).
Low and behold, when I opened the file again all pictures had disappeared leaving only a nice empty frame or space behind.

Two days of work lost. I saved the repaired file in odt. Now I am hoping that the pictures will be there tomorrow.

Anyone else with a similar experience?
