             Bug #: 53412
           Summary: Silent fail on RTFD file open attempt
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mattr at telebody.net


LibreOffice cannot open RTFD files (RTF With File Attachments).
It silently fails when you try to do so.
I discovered this by making a file with Bean (a nice mac editor).
When you just copy and paste, bullets are not preserved.
By opening the rtfd file in TextEdit (mac standard editor) and saving as rtf,
LibreOffice is able to open it.
TextEdit also makes RTFD files, it is needed whenever you paste a photo into a
document. Since this is really, really basic operations on a mac, using the
fundamental editor that comes with the mac (TextEdit) I think it is a critical
bug.
I have tested this also by making a simple rtfd file with TextEdit.
Unfortunately Google Chrome refuses to allow me to upload an rtfd file in the
Attachment area! Arrgh.
