Screenshot of Win 8.1 user account pictures

When I upgrade from LibreOffice 4.1.4 to LibreOffice 4.2.2.1 in Windows 8.1, it breaks browse for user account pictures, that is when I want to browse for user account pictures on local computer, the screen looks like the attached screenshot.

I have tried with version 4.2.1.1 and that version also breaks browse for user account pictures.

If I only upgrade to version 4.1.5, there is no problem, so it must be something in the version 4.2 releases, that is the problem.

Mmh, it is broken on my computer (Windows 8.1 also) too. I have 4.1.4 installed, but also a recent master version, so _if_ this is caused by upgrading by LibreOffice, I can't test.

I would not be sure of calling this as a LibreOffice bug (at least directly). LibreOffice is not even a Metro/Modern application, it uses the “official” Windows Installer facility, and Windows 8.1 messes with file associations every time you install or uninstall something — it could be any application installer that could be causing missing thumbnails. Or at least for a few Win 8.1 machines I’ve handled, that’s what I observed.

Cleaning icon cache with CCleaner/TuneUp may help in the meantime.

Uhm, well, this is confirmed on the Dutch mailinglist. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Windows-8-1-met-LibreOffice-4-2-2-probleem-met-Foto-App-td4102346.html
