I must have inadvertently changed some setting - in libreoffice::write, embedded graphics are no longer being shown. Just empty boxes with the name of item. The same goes for older documents, so I'm guessing it's not a document setting.

Any hints on how to get the regular behaviour back, ie how to make LO show the embedded graphics?

Thanks Per

Hi Per,

View > Images and Charts needs to be checked. :)

Thanks Carl! - I see that option in LO5, but I'm on LO3.6, doesn't seem to have that option, at least not in the View pull-down.

I switched to a different user, embedded graphics are showing just fine, so this is a user setting.

Apparently it is called "Graphics On/off", makes sense. I guess my Alzheimer's is worse than I thought, I simply cannot find that icon or button.

it would surely be something on the config ==> view menu, but doesn't seem to exist on my LO 5.3.3. maybe replaced by hardware acceleration and/or opengl -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

ahhh, enlightment via google: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/42606/some-pictures-show-others-dont...

Thanks Patrick, I found that one too - and it worked! The only mystery that remains is - how did I switch off that option to begin with??

The LO 4.0 guide says "Settings chosen on the pages in the LibreOffice Writer section of the Options dialog determine how your Writer documents look and behave while you are working on them. If the Options dialog is not already open, click Tools > Options. Click the expansion symbol (+ sign or triangle) by LibreOffice Writer on the left-hand side of the dialog. A list of pages drops down.)" Under the View options is a section labeled "Display" and there's a check box labeled "Graphics and objects" Again, this is 4.0 not 3.6 but I thought this might be worth sharing. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> View -> Display -> [X] Graphics and objects

Yes, except it isn't there in LO 3.6. I managed eventually by Tools->Options->Customise - add the "Graphics on/off" item to the View menu, and it works. I really don't understand how it got switched in the first place - when there was no menu or keyboard shortcut. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (25.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
