Description: I've just upgraded to this version and when editing a document written with a slightly older version (I don't know the version but ~12 month old) which worked on a range of devices with older versions of libreoffice all the eps graphics are borked. My only hope was to save them but if I select them soffice says "metafile selected" and right-click:save and right-click:edit_external opttoins are available but don't do anything. Mostly the eps images are mostly blank but one or two are distorted (wrong aspect ratio and low res). I suspect I'm seeing poor rendering of the encapsulated preview rather than the true eps file. Steps to Reproduce: Try to use a file with and eps image Actual Results: image screwed up Expected Results: image renders nicely Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice]Locale: en-GBModule: PresentationDocument[Information guessed from browser]OS: Linux (All)OS is 64bit: yes User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Can you attach a sample file?
Created attachment 139140 [details] odp file demonstrating problem This renders incorrectly in 5.4.2.2 but renders correctly in 4.2.8.2
Created attachment 139141 [details] screen shot show in correct rendering in old version
Created attachment 139142 [details] screen shot showing incorrect rendering in new version
I've uploaded an example - This was produced using an "old" version (4.2.8.2 which is older than then original version I was using but it's what I've got available (and the exchange between the original old version and 4.2.8.2 was seamless)). I enclose screen shots of rendering in 4.2.8.2 and 5.4.2.2 showing the incorrect rendering - this example is one of the better examples - the results are often worse than this. I've also done a little investigation - in this example at the rendering does not appear to be the eps-preview - you can zoom without evidence of pixellation. Other examples appear to be a dodgy preview (very low resolution) rather than an attempt to display the postscript. Often the image is scaled incorrectly and the aspect ratio is incorrect. I've also determined that "save" and "edit with external tool" don't work in the older version (menu items available but nothing happens) so this is an older problem. I've also tried importing a fresh eps file into 5.4.2.2 and this also fails to render correctly so I conclude that this is not a problem reading the file but a problem rendering the eps correctly. In some cases I don't have the original eps files and a failure to render correctly or allow extraction is a serious problem (I will have to hack them out of the odp file manually).
I can confirm that the files are embedded in the odp file correctly even after re- saving in the new version. I've unzipped the odp file and recovered my graphics and converted to pngs for reimporting into LO. A faff but at least the stuff is preserved even if LO won't get it for you. This is the practical workaround.
Not reproducible for me with LO 5.4.4 and LO 6.0.1.0+, under Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64 Please could you install the up to date version from 5.4 branch (currently 5.4.4) and try again? Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested informations are provided. Best regards. JBF
