            Bug ID: 140507
           Summary: embedded pictures disappear when name changed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: matthias.weisser at gmx.de

I have many Writer texts with very many pictures embedded as links. Embedding
and changing names of pictures worked well using LO5.4.7. Unfortunately there
are problems using LO_6.4.4_Win_x64.msi or LO_7.0.0.1_Win_x64.msi on Win 7 pro
64bit notebooks.

When I double click on the first picture the menu comes up and "Dateiname" will
be shown. When I edit this name from hp214a_bedienfeld.png to
hp214a_bedienfeld2.png which does not exist no picture is shown then - only the
frame with the name inside is shown.

When I change back the name to hp214a_bedienfeld.png unfortunately the original
picture does not show up again. Also using the "Durchsuchen" Button and
choosing the file name hp214a_bedienfeld.png from there does not bring the
picture up again. The picture seems to be lost. 

The frame still will be shown. But no way to get the picture again into this
frame. When LO is closed and reopened the frame is lost. 

Its bad when the frame is lost or has to be deleted because the frame already
had the right size and format. The picture then newly has to be added and all
the format changes have to be done again. 

This loss of format is really time consuming when working on many pictures. One
does not like running through all the menus again. The format should not go
lost this way. This problem was not at all there when using LO5.4.7.

So the above sentence from Bug ID 120372 "Embedded pictures disappear from
Writer when documents are opened." seems to be true in my case. I really hope
this problem can be seen by others and solved.
