Using Libreoffice Writer 4.1 (directly from ppa:libreoffice/ppa) on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I tried opening an existing .odt text file with tiff images imported as links. The imported images would not show. Instead only an empty and flickering frame showed up. Also, I could not import new tiff files, either embedded in the document, or as links. When I tried (Insert --> Picture --> From file) I would get a "Filter not found" message. However, other image formats (I tried png and jpg) could be correctly imported. I downgraded to version 4.0 from ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0 and now it all works just fine [Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)]. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice* sudo apt-get autoremove sudo add-apt repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0 sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install libreoffice
Could you please attach an example tiff file which you can't import?
Created attachment 84169 [details] Tiff file that could not be imported
Tiff import of your test file (Insert --> Picture --> From file) works fine on 4.1.0.4 using Win7 64bit. is there any other Linux user who can test?
Thank you for your bug report, I CAN'T reproduce this bug running Version: 4.1.1.2 Build ID: 7e4286b58adc75a14f6d83f53a03b6c11fa2903 on Mac osx 10.8.4. but version: 4.1.0.4 Build ID: 410m0(Build:4) on Linux Mint 15 So it is a Linux only bug & a regression because you said it was working in version 4.0.x. (with I didn't test)
works for me on self built 4.1.0.4 and 4.0.4.2 and master versions Bjoern, seems reporter is using Ubuntu PPA - perhaps a packaging bug?
A quick check with various versions shows: - 4.1 on saucy: "import filter not found" - 4.0 on raring: works - 4.1 on raring: "import filter not found"
Debian is not hit by this in 4.0 and 4.1. Digging further, this seems to be an upstream regression with enable-mergedlibs, which Debian is not using, but Ubuntu does in both 4.0 and 4.1.

Also: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67602 likely has the same root cause.

Hi, This bug has still the NEW status: are these patches only partial, preventing to mark this bug as fixed? Best regards. JBF
it is a Linux specific bug. any Linux user can still confirm this?
Indeed this is now fixed.
In Libreoffice 4.1.3.2 it doesn't seem to be fixed. Just tested with opensuse-factory-build on opensuse 12.3. Same with the original version downloaded from the LO-website. Can we expect a general solution, because this is a real blocker for business needs?
(In reply to comment #17) > In Libreoffice 4.1.3.2 it doesn't seem to be fixed. > Just tested with opensuse-factory-build on opensuse 12.3. > Same with the original version downloaded from the LO-website. i don't know about suse builds but the upstream builds from libreoffice.org definitely do not use --enable-mergelibs so you should file a separate bug if that doesn't work for you.
I'm sorry, it was obviously my fault, because I didn't test it with the example above. This works with both - opensuse and upstream version. My own testimage contained kind of compression, that is incompatible with LO. Might be a task for improvement,but not a bug...
After upgrading to 4.1 (again from ppa:libreoffice/ppa) I can confirm that the problem has been corrected.
