Description AnFr 2019-02-13 21:51:41 UTC
Description:
Testing the LibreOffice 6.1.5 for company usage I've seen that formally compact files are getting big, if saved with LibreOffice 6.x.
Specially Files with EMF pictures.
Making a copy of the files to [formername].zip and enter them with an archive browser I've found that the new Libre Office does not compress the EMF files.
With the actually used version 5.3.7 the EMF files in the directory 'Pictures' have a high compression rate.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate an ODT file and import one ore more graphics.
2. Open the file with an older version (e.g. 5.3.7) and SaveAs.
3. Open the file with an actual version (e.g. 6.1.5) and SaveAs.
--> compare the file sizes

Actual Results:
The file saved with 6.1.5 has the size of the uncompressed graphics.
The file saved with 5.3.7 is much smaller.

Expected Results:
the file sizes should be similar.


Reproducible: Always

Hi Experts.
Is there a Expert Configuration Key to activate/deactivate this behavior?

Best Regards,

Comment 4 AnFr 2019-02-25 12:18:51 UTC
Due to the behavior, that files become non E-Mail conform sizes, I think the importance level should be higher than normal.

I don't think so: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg
Higher severities are mostly for crashes and such.

Bibisected with win32-6.2 to https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/4cb1e86e5217f09e1d98e51e46803a06fb72f5ce%5E!/

Adding Cc: to László Németh. Seems like this is a feature rather than a bug?

Hi,

the patch is working for me.
Tested with 'Master~20190306'.

Will be there a Commit to the 6.1.6 too?

Kind Regards,

I would like to push patch to LO 6.1 with review:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/68730/

Unfortunately there is some issue with Windows. I think it is infrastructure and it is not related to this patch.
