Description: I'd like to use LibreOffice Writer with git to work with several people on the same document. The idea is to use the fodt file format (plain xml) and linked svg pictures, so everything is smoothly tracked by git without any binary file. However, any linked svg picture is also copied into the fodt file. This raises the file size because of these large binary chunks, and these chunks induces large and unecessary git diffs. AddReplacementImages is not useful here. When set off, one binary chunk per svg picture is present. When set on, two chunks per picture is present (I assume svg+png). This seems to only concern svg picture. Linked png picture are not copied into the fodt file Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new Writer document 2. Insert an SVG picture, linked 3. Save the document as fodt Actual Results: The fodt file contains binary chunk(s) (one or two depending on AddReplacementImages setting) Expected Results: The fodt file has no binary chunks with only linked pictures Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Behavior with PNG pictures is as expected
A similar issue was fixed recently (bug 118879), the fix will be part of 6.1.6 and 6.2.1, the RC1 of 6.2.1 is already available from the following link, could you give that a try? (or wait until it's released in ~3 weeks) https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/
6.2.1.1 is working as expected. Thank you very much. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 118879 ***
