I think this is a problem similar to #104. I haven't had the time to look into it, but this week will be OSS week, :-) I'll have a look

Hi Sandro.

I think this is a problem similar to #104.

My gut says, similar maybe, but not exactly the same. #104 describes a problem in META-INF/manifest.xml. However, when I compare the contents of my report.odt (which Word dislikes) with my report_rezipped.odt (which Word likes) there is no difference in manifest.xml.

unzip -vl report.odt 
 Length   Method    Size  Cmpr    Date    Time   CRC-32   Name
--------  ------  ------- ---- ---------- ----- --------  ----
...
     962  Defl:N      266  72% 04-27-2020 20:30 7f41a5b1  META-INF/manifest.xml
...
unzip -vl report_rezipped.odt 
...
     962  Defl:N      266  72% 04-27-2020 20:30 7f41a5b1  META-INF/manifest.xml
...

Note the identical CRC-32 checksum.

I suspect we're using rubyzip incorrectly, but don't have more details yet.

Thanks, and please let me know if I can help in any way.

Well, I couldn't find any obvious culprits. I'm doing the same rubyzip handling I always did, except editing the MANIFEST.XML for the repeated images.

I still think #104 is related. Altough the OP find a diference in MANIFEST.XML, he removed the "\n" at the end and had to rezip the file. I suspect the reziping solved the problem, not the removal.

I'm gonna try to find a windows machine to run some tests (i'm a mac user).

Could #67 be related also?

Yeah, it's possible the newline is a red herring.

Actually, in my steps-to-reproduce above, I was using Word for Mac. So, you can reproduce this on a mac.

Could #67 be related also?

I'll try the binread patch and see if I can still reproduce the issue.

After applying this patch, I'm still able to reproduce this issue. Probably, the patch didn't help because I have no images in my template file. 🤦

I think I nailed it. Will be releasing 0.7.2 shortly

0.7.2 seems to work for me. I can remove my Rezipper class 🎉 Thanks Sandro.
