I'm using LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.
I moved a LibreOffice Calc file from one folder to another in the GUI file manager (Nemo 3.6.5). The file appeared to move from one folder to the other successfully. When I double-click on the file to open it, an error appears
The Link "file.ods" is Broken. Move it to Trash?
If I open LibreOffice Calc from the menu and attempt to open the spreadsheet using File > Recent Documents, I get the error
General input/output error while accessing file.ods
If I examine the folder where I moved the file to using the terminal, the file appears as a link to itself:
~/spreadsheets$ ls -Alh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 48 May 10 08:36 file.ods -> /home/user/spreadsheets/file.ods
The file is not in Trash.
Please help me recover the contents of this file. It is very important, bordering on urgent.
Edit Many programs keep a cache of the content of recently-accessed files. If either LibreOffice or Ubuntu do this, that's the first thing I'd like to know, because it's the first thing to check.
