  • .odm Master Documents in Mageia-7: Problem using libreoffice-6.4.6.2-

    From Maurice@2:250/1 to All on Tue Aug 25 12:55:47 2020
    Subject: .odm Master Documents in Mageia-7: Problem using
    libreoffice-6.4.6.2-1.mga7.src.rpm

    [Have posted this in gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user, but
    no response yet..]

    With LO Writer 6.1 I could open a master document ~/xxxx.odm with:
    "libreoffice ~/xxxx.odm"

    and see the whole set of defined files updated, concatenated, and shown
    as 1 large document, e.g. for search purposes.

    But with the advent of LO Writer 6.4.6 in Mageia-7 the 'Navigator'
    display (now full-screen but can be minimised) cannot now be exited to
    allow the whole composite document to be shown. Only individual
    component .odt files can be examined.
    Instead, closing 'Navigator' cause the whole call of LO Writer to
    close, rather than just closing the 'navigation' info so that the
    composite document is revealed.

    Any.odm users here also find this?

    I've never used master documents in lo.
