After building up a presentation with about 30 dias and with near 80 photos, I lost all the photos on saving. This happen three times. First most of the photos were copy-past. Second and third time I have all the photos in a map as .jpg files, but the same problem was there. Now I am using an old Power Point version from 2000. There was no problem with text. I have all the dias with text and with empty frames for the photos. The photos were from about 50 kb til 3 Mb typical 100 kb to 300 kb
Please describe more - what type of file - odp, ppt? What type of picture - png, jpg, mixed? Ideally, could you attach the file?

Ah, interesting! > > Is there a limit on size of the jpg pictures? > > AFAIK, there's no limit on the size of ODF files or included files that would be close to the size of a few scanned images. Just for reference, how many MB of media do you think you added to the document? (rough estimate is fine) How big is your graphics cache? (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Memory) If you're working with many large images, bumping up the cache can help speed up LibreOffice for you https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Memory
The problem I see in Libo with slide 34 of the .ppt is that it has white text on white background. In MSO, the bullet text and "Tak for i dag" are black. I confirm that no picture loss happens when saving the ppt as odp in LibO. Win 8.1 32-bit MSO 2013 LibO Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 211c12b9c64facd1c12f637a5229bd6a6feb032a TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-04-18_00:35:20 Locale: fi_FI
I used the odp format in the first three attempt where I lost the pictures
I have later seen that problem, when converting to Power Point at one or two dias black text was converted to white text
It sounds like there are/may be multiple different issues affecting the results here.

This piece seems actionable, however it sounds like something different from the Summary. Assuming y'all agree to my assessment, Leif: Could you please file that as a separate bug report? (and then Beluga can hopefully repro and triage) > > I confirm that no picture loss happens when saving the ppt as odp in LibO. Okay. Sounds like we're still trying to figure out the main gist of this bug report: Pictures going missing from the ODP file.
I would propose to reduce picture sizes before inserting them to the Impress using some bulk resize tool. Usually projector has resolution 1024x768 and there is no point to have larger pictures for screen view. Also using ~85% of JPG quality would be enough for screen view. Would suggest to use JPG as photo file format and nothing else. Using "Tools->Minimize presentation" would also help reduce the presentation size. If still there are problems (e.g. too much pictures to load them all simultaneously as the presentation software does) then I would propose not to use presentation software but just show pictures as separate files with some picture viewing software. Did use that solution several times. When using just picture viewer then one picture will be loaded at a time and there will be no problem with memory.
