Description robertdunn 2004-12-14 03:57:57 UTC 
Hope I'm reporting this to the right place....  Under both OO 1.9.m58 & 1.9.m62
I've lost drawing files.  (Upgraded from beta 58 to 62 in hopes this was fixed.)
 In both cases -- and as best I recall -- I attempted to save the drawing by
simple "file save," OO reported "cannot save," I attempted to "save as,"  could
not, and, ultimately hoped that restarting/rebooting would fix.  No such luck. 
Files show up as zero-length files.  Running on W2000 with all current patches.
 (Did not try cutting/pasting to entirely new drawing -- wish that I had thought
to try that before giving up.)

Approx 120 objects across 2 slides can initially be created. (Which has made
attached file "breakage.odg"). Closing OO Draw 1.9.6.5, then re-opening with
this file, you cannot save it again even with only minimum alteration.
Comment 3 snodnipper 2005-01-04 00:39:15 UTC 
I've experienced this problem too. I'd attach the file, only it's gone ;) -
fortunately writer is more stable and has my diagrams.
[Only tried this on an XP Installation; Gentoo requires me to run OO2 as root! :(]
Comment 4 wolframgarten 2005-01-04 10:49:00 UTC 
Reproducible. Open it, change it, save it, close it, open it again, change it,
try to save it: error message.
Comment 5 wolframgarten 2005-01-04 10:49:34 UTC 
Reassinged to Christian. Please have a look.
Comment 6 clippka 2005-01-04 16:02:45 UTC 
There is a problem with the graphics during save.

Since after a failed save to the original document it sometimes happens that the
original document file is broken, I set the priority to 2 because of data loss.
Comment 7 snodnipper 2005-01-04 21:10:47 UTC 
I'm having this problem in writer (1.9.65) too. "Error saving the document
x.odt: General Error. General input/output error."
Comment 8 ooo 2005-01-14 09:23:21 UTC 
investigating
Comment 9 ooo 2005-01-14 12:50:56 UTC 
fixed at least for Draw/Impress files, need to take a further look at Writer
Comment 10 ooo 2005-01-17 16:14:19 UTC 
I also made this fix for Calc, but was not able to find a related bug in Writer;
Writer team and QA will be notified by me to take a closer look.
