Description Nicolas Christener 2003-11-13 12:25:51 UTC

Version:           3.1.93 (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:          Linux

I used Openoffice 1.1 (Debian testing) to write a Math-Documentation.
If i try to set Meta Informations for this File using Konqueror, i can't opne the Document any more.
OpenOffice tells me, that it can't read the file.

If i unzip the sxw file BEFORE editing the META Informations, there is only ONE "meta.xml" file in the archiv.
AFTER editing the META Informations, there are TWO "meta.xml" files in the archiv.

Loss of data -> grave; but can't confirm myself.

Comment 2 Pierre Souchay 2003-12-06 00:23:50 UTC

Ok, it is normal to have several meta.xml files in the archive:
See: http://souchay.net1.nerim.net/news,20030504.html

One of these two files is the previous one (I mean, as created by OOo). I let it to allow recovering data in the case of an error and should not be a problem.

You are the first report of such error. Can you send me the file corrupted and try to repeat the problem (please send me the file before and after corruption if possible)

Comment 3 Pierre Souchay 2003-12-08 16:52:40 UTC

Ok, the bug occurs with OOo 1.1.0.
That is because I kept two versions or more of meta.xml in the zip archive (this should not be a problem since it is a «feature» of ZIP files).

OOo 1.0 has not such problem, but since OOo is the future, I will correct it asap.

Comment 4 Pierre Souchay 2003-12-09 04:41:58 UTC

Ok, the bug is fixed, now, the plugin recreates the whole file each time the properties are edited.
It is a bit silly since it's slower.
The correction has been commited in the CVS (v1.6).

Comment 5 Pierre Souchay 2003-12-09 16:31:25 UTC

Ok, after the fix, the reporter was able to read files with his version of OOo.
We can no close the bug.
