Created attachment 198237 [details] Writer 25.8 showing placeholder instead of rendered SVG Consider the SVG file in attachment 198233 [details]. Reproduction instructions: 1. Start a new Writer document 2. On the menus, choose Insert > Image... 3. Choose the SVG file from attachment 198233 [details] (which you've saved as a file beforehand) Expected results: You should see the rendered SVG on the new document's first page. Actual results: You see a placeholder rectangle, empty, with an icon reprenting an image, at a top corner. See screenshot. Note: If you open the SVG in Draw, it does render (although we have bug 164434). I _do_ see this with a recent nightly: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2f5e75ed134cfd0224e03411ca9d7d81f319c91b CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US but _don't_ see this with: Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I should also mention that LO 24.8.3.2 gets very sluggish after loading the document.
Created attachment 198241 [details] Screenshot showing the svg image.
Created attachment 198242 [details] screenshot Bad rendering but it is still something.

(In reply to m_a_riosv from comment #1) > Created attachment 198241 [details] > Screenshot showing the svg image. Fair enough, so - let's say "not rendered under some circumstances". I will say that this is consistent on my system. I can always try updating to a newer nightly I suppose.
(In reply to BogdanB from comment #2) > Bad rendering but it is still something. I believe that is bug 164434.
Works for me in this version: Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 480(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+wayland) Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8); UI: es-ES Calc: threaded
(In reply to Raúl Osuna from comment #5) > Works for me in this version: That works for me as well. I see the problem with recent nightlies. Still seeing it with: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2305fe302e12c4256e452589e2533772d4213e59 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US downloaded just a short while ago.
Created attachment 198420 [details] Non-SVG images in attachment 197788 [details] fail to render with LO Writer 25.8 nightly I see this bug with non-SVG images as well. Opening attachment 197788 [details] with a recent nightly - images don't render, I get placeholders instead. Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2305fe302e12c4256e452589e2533772d4213e59 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US
Is View - Images and Charts activated or not?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #8) > Is View - Images and Charts activated or not? ... WTF? No, it wasn't! We added an option, that's off by default, for viewing images and charts? That's insane! When I turn it on, images now render.

Calm the fuck down, the option has existed basically forever and no, it's *not* off by default, you accidentally unchecked it. I checked that it's in the View menu already in 5.2, while in 3.5 it is found in Tools - Options - Writer - View.

I didn't even realize it existed. You can verify by running `libreoffice --safe-mode` that the option is active by default. It would indeed be completely insane to not show images by default. I suppose the reason for the feature is to work around performance issues in heavy documents.
