[Solved] Created a slideshow but it keeps losing pictures
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2020 4:40 pm
I'm using OO-Impress v4.1.7 on a Windows 10 Home Edition PC. I installed the PhotoAlbum extension by jnavrati https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/photoalbum I am very much a novice user.
I created a simple (but long) slideshow of family photo's. I created this for my daughters wedding so I REALLY NEED TO MAKE THIS WORK. Each slide is simply an individual photograph and it is 137 slides long and runs for about 6 1/2 minutes. It took me most of the day to create this mostly due to the selecting the photos and then sorting of the slides to get them into the right order. I spent a lot of time with this. Now I'm frustrated beyond measure as I'm basically out of time to make this work.
I have it finished on my home computer and all of the slides are there in the 'Slides' window on the left side. I can run it and it (usually) works perfect with every slide showing. Sometimes it will not load a picture and that slide will show a blank box with only a file path name showing. Usually if I click 'Reload' from the File menu, it will properly load those pictures.
Once I got it working with all of the slides/pictures showing I saved the file to the cloud in the hopes that I would be able to pull it up from there and just run it. The file is 36MB. I'm now on my computer at work (Windows 10 running Impress 4.1.7 also) and pulling up the file from the cloud. It has now lost the most (80+%) pictures in the individual slides. ARGH..... I had also copied it off of my original/home computer onto a USB drive but it has the same issue when I try to run it -missing pictures.
How do I make sure that the photo's are embedded into the file and/or make them show up. HELP.
