"Not all attributes could be read"

[kingfisher]

Beginning today, I am getting the message "not all attributes could be read" whenever I open a spreadsheet. I press OK and the spreadsheet opens. What is causing the message and how do I stop it appearing?

- File type? (.ods, .xls, .xlsx or other?)
- Can you upload a sample file here?

This is a known bug which also appeared in Libreoffice but seems to have been fixed: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho ... i?id=72781
So you might try that. It also has a lot of other improvements.

Thanks for the replies. The software was installed in April 2022 and, as I said, the problem first occurred two days ago.

I tried replacing the settings with an old backup and the same error occurred.

It occurs with all my spreadsheets. I attach an example.

No warning with LO 24.8.5.2 portable on Windows 11.
Here is the file saved as, with no change at all.

...and no warning with AOO 4.1.15 portable on Windows 10.

...but there is missing macro "TryThis", and #ref, #name warning on sheet B in cell A26,

If I recollect correctly, sometimes such messages arise from the storage format in use on the target drive. I think NTFS does not support all attributes; there may be other formats also that do not support all attributes.

Are the files stored on a network or USB drive?

[kingfisher]

Thanks again. The files are stored on the computer drive which is and always has been ext4.

This same problem showed up with an early version of LibreOffice, and then went away, as far as I can judge from the problem report:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho ... i?id=72781

The only investigation I can suggest is a detailed examination of the file/folder/drive permissions on the target drive. It is possible that some of the attributes are relatively trivial, and ignoring them won't cause any harm.

Thanks. I looked through every folder except those for the applications other than Calc in .openoffice/4/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/. Every file and folder had read permission.
