OpenOffice (calc) crashes whenever opening file with graphics

The title says it all. Version is 3.0.0-3.
It doesn't matter the file origins from Excel, is old .ods or OO-3.0 .ods. The only pattern I could see is that files without embedded external graphics work well (regardless WMF, JPG, PNG); other crash after loading. I deleted my .openoffice folder without success.
Anybody experienced anything similar? Any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance!

This time I got some feedback from the terminal:
pure virtual method called
terminate called without an active exception
/usr/bin/soffice: line 152:  6320 Speicherzugriffsfehler  "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
("Speicherzugriffsfehler" means "memory access error")
The weird thing is, I have lots of other computer working fine with the same files and similar installation (Arch64, Gnome...). Is it possible to be related to any dependending software?
I opened one spreadsheet document with a company logo on another computer and saved. Then opened the same file on my computer and it crashed. Then again I opend this file, removed all graphics and saved it. Now it also opens on my computer, but as soon as I try to import a graphic OpenOffice crashes again. So I believe the trigger is known.
So far I couldn't find any similar report at OpenOffice.org

    Has anyone experienced this issue also?
    This is extremely annoying...  why I should pay for software that doesn't work?

    "Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
    The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

  • After an Automatic Adobe Update, Photoshop crashes on opening files

    I just did the automatic adobe update to photoshop (CS3) and now I crash on opening files (file-open....crash!)
    I tried deleting the preferences file, still crashes in the same place
    I have un installed the program, reinstalled from the original program disc (not done the update) and it still is crashing.
    I haave a Macbook pro with 2.33 Intel core 2 Duo processor, and am running 10.5.6
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Carrie

    You really need to be running the updated version of CS3. If its crashing in the new user its probably a system thing.
    I would run Diskwarrior or Apple's Disk Utility from the DVD. then I would update the System to 10.5.7 with the 10.5.7 Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.

  • Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

    Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
    For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
    @import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
    This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
    DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
    Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

    Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
    1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
    2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
    3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
    4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
    If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
    This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
    To reproduce
    Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
    "Solution"
    The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
    Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
    Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
    This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
    Untested in Panther or before and
    Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
    Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

    In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
    You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
    http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
    Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
    (Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

    Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program.
    This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.

    If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
    Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
    Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
    Hope this helps!

  • Developer: How can I let people open files with my program?

    Hello Everyone,
    I just finished my program for the Mac, and decided to make it an application.
    I used Platypus to make my program into an application. Unfortunately when I try to open a file with my program (control + click on file + open with -> other), my application is grayed out and I can't select it. I see it there along with the other applications but I can't select it like I can Mail or TextEdit.
    I read somewhere I had to use XCode to let people open files with my program but I have never used XCode and I have no idea how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    You've posted in the wrong forum. This is the OS X Leopard Installation and Setup forum. You need to post your problem in the Developers forum. Also, since Platypus is not an Apple product, you should visit it's developers forum for assistance. The Apple Discussions is intended to assist users with problems and questions about Apple products only.
    To use XCode Tools you need to install it from the Optional Installs folder on your OS X Installer Disc One. It comes with documentation. More assistance can be found at developer.apple.com.

  • [Flex mobile] Open file with a Filebrowser

    Hi everyone,
    i want to be able to open files with a file browser in my app, but the browse dialog which is opened by the File.browse() method only displays / opens music or image files. Furthermore im not even able to change the Dialog header when running my project on android:
    dir.browseForOpen("Please select a file");
    this doesn't work on android, neither does the next code-block:...
    var dir:File=new File(File.userDirectory.url+ "/geoforms");
    var filter:FileFilter=new FileFilter("Documents","*.txt");
    dir.browseForOpen("Please select a file",[filter]);
    So what do i have to do, to be able to show a decent file select dialog ?

    Nobody any idea?
    i tried it like its described in this article:
    Declaring file type associations
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=File_formats_1.html
    but i can't get it running for my mobile project. The  type associations works fine in my desktop air application but it doesn't work in my mobile app. Is this  type associations stuff supposed to be working on mobile devices / android?

  • Xdg-open is opening files with no extension in wine notepad

    xdg-open is opening files with no extension in wine notepad. This is really annoying. How can I change it?

    Click on "Browse" button at the "Open With" dialog and navigate to the location, where acrord32.exe is located. Preferebly, it should be this location "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" unless you have installed at some customized location.  I'm assuming you have installed Reader 9. Once you add Adobe Reader in the open with list, it would continue to appear next time onwards.
