When I read slideshow which contains sounds, then the sound files are stored in ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/ . Could it be stored into ~/.cache/libreoffice/ ?
Discussed with Cloph and he thought this is a valid request. I do not have any LibreOffice stuff in my .cache so apparently it is not used at the moment for anything.

See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html Basically, the backup tools usually exclude the ~/.cache user directory. Moreover, when the user wants to save space, then he/she can delete the ~/.cache user directory but keep his/her user preferences.

I do not see any new file in this directory when reading a slideshow with sound. Tested with LO 5.4.3 from Ubuntu PPA. Best regards. JBF
Did you tried ppt files ?
(In reply to Jérôme from comment #5) > Did you tried ppt files ? No. Do that things exist anymore? If you have one, you should attach it to this bug report as test file. Of course take care to eliminate all personal data from the file. Best regards. JBF
If you download the first pps slideshow here : https://www.crazy-stuff.net/fr/divertissements/diaporamas/noel-pour-les-enfants then you will get a Christmass slideshow with a song in Impress which is extracted into the ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/*.wav file. I noticed the problem with an older LO version too.
This bug still occurs on 5.2.7.2 version.

Confirmed with LO 5.4.4 from Ubuntu PPA. From my point of view, the main problem is that these temporary files are not removed when the slideshow is closed. Best regards. JBF

The problem is that ~/.config and ~/.cache have possibly a different underlying configuration. ~/.cache : usually a local storage, possibly on memory or reused disk ~/.config : on a reliable storage, possibly over the network (latency, ...) The files could be removed automatically but they have first to be stored into the right file directory.
