Error while adding images to documents

Asked by Boris Gorelik

I want to add image to the file generated by POD. I added the following note:

do text
from document(at=img)

In my program I set the img variable to an existing png image, however, when I Render the document and open the resulting file, I get the following error "The file 'result.odt' is corrupt and therefore cannot be loaded". I then select the option to repair the file and after OOo opens it, at the place where I expect to see the image, I see an object with a text in it file:///C:/temp/report/result.odt/C:\temp\report\result.odt.1316422070.069000\unzip\Pictures\f.5.1316422070.210000.png

It is obvious that the text refers to a temporary file that Renderer created during its work, however that file (the entire directrory) is being removed immediately after Renderer completes its job. I tried to set forceOoCall=True during my call to Renderer, but this didn't help. What am I doing wrong?

It seems like a bug with Windows version
I've created a patch, you need to apply it to appy/pod/doc_importers.py
