Missing Images in LO

users
#1

This issue has just appeared. For about 12 months, one of my
regular tasks in LO has been to paste html technical documents
into Libre Office, where images are scaled, text edited
and formatted before exporting to pdf, or on-forwarding to
our translation team.

This week, images from the html files are missing from the
Libre Office paste, but they re-appear in the pdf files. Instead
of images, LO is displaying empty frames with a line of text
showing the image file name. A right click on an image frame
brings up a menu with access to Properties. Select the image
Tab in Properties and the correct image is displayed, I can not
get it display in the LO document.

I can resize the empty image frames in LO so that the final
pdfs are correct. The lack of LO images is preventing the
forwarding of files for translation.

Operating System: MX-Linux Version 16;

Libre Office: Version: 5.2.2.2.0+
                       Build ID: 1:5.2.2~rc2-2~bpo8+1

Have tried all the apparent options without success.

Thanks,

You have somehow disabled the display of graphics: your inserted images are still there, as you can see from Page Preview - or in exported PDF copies, as you suggest. Replace the tick at Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | View | Display | Graphics and objects.

The lack of LO images is preventing the forwarding of files for translation.

This should not be so, as the setting applies to your use of LibreOffice, I think, not to the saved document. Whoever opens the document should see the images even if you cannot.

I trust this helps.
