This might be a feature. But to me it's a bug. Reproduce: 1) Write something (writer, calc, whatever) 2) File -> send as... (PDF, excel, other) 3) The mail window pops up with an attachment. It can be opened. All well. 4) For some reason, close libreoffice entirely (haven't tested in windows, so I don't know about quickstart) 5) Try to open the attachment from the mail window again - it's gone. This could be by design, -the attachment should probably be held file-locked by the mail program, and LO check if it's still in use before deleting it (preventing exit, or deciding to just leave the temp file undeleted) -or, the temp attachment should not be deleted upon exit (not my favourite solution) -or <your solution here>
I am pretty sure that I saw an other report for exactly this problem few days ago, but I can not find it.
@ Arno Teigseth Thanks for bugreport Please, verify if in last version of LibreOffice still reproducible And which mail program used?
LibreOffice 3.5.0 Build ID: 4036082-c4051ff-3b66bd0 that build was from git, commit 251c24fed0fd34cec7e699a8af608748e5b9b4bf Date: Wed Feb 22 15:41:27 2012 -0500 Mail program: thunderbird 6.0 on linux mint 11 Still reproducible here with: 1) write "test doc" in a new doc in writer and send as email attachment 2) close writer (and maybe rest of LO windows?) 3) try opening the attachment in the compose mail. No luck, since the temp file was deleted when closing LO (I ASSume) Should this be a thunderbird bug? That thunderbird should cache the attachment? I could agree to that if it's the intended design. Could be a good idea to cache anything handed to thunderbird from /tmp/ anyway.
Thanks for additional testing. I can not reproduce this problem on Fedora using Thunderbird In LibreOffice 3.3.4 when I used File->Send as->Email, then saved this email on disk, then opened mail and saved attachment on disk. It saves ok. In LibreOffice 3.5.0 writes: "LibreOffice was unable to find a working e-mail configuration". And nothing sends. @ Arno Teigseth This problem reproducible on another computer, OS, desktop? This problem reproducible with another Email program? If Thunderbird specific, try ask Thunderbird developers about this, may be they answer more quick than us
[Not reproducible] Works fine with "LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 - Mac OS X 10.5.8 (32bits) Catalan UI"
It is Thunderbird specific bug. Reproducible when working with Thunderbird even without Libreoffice. How to reproduce problem in Thunderbird: 1. create new letter 2. attach several big files so that sending will take several minutes 3. press "Send" button in Thunderbird 4. delete attached files from hard disk Expected: files saved by Thunderbird in it's profile and will send correctly Actually: appears error message after sending first file This bug should send to Thunderbird developers
+1 for Thunderbird-dev. Many files are too temporary for the mail program to rely on them existing until the mail is sent. Changing to INVALID.
Changing status to NotOurBug because it is valid bug of Thunderbird
