Starting a new thread vs "Trivia Question - was: changes for this mailing list". The subject of embedding sound & video with Impress has long been a thorn in OOo's backside for many years. In 2009 I brought up this thread on the OOo users list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/202220 [Impress mobility w/sound & video 13 Nov 2009) Christian Lippka - Sun Microsystems GmbH - Hamburg carried out some work to embed sound & video after bringing this up on the OOo UE list: <http://openoffice.org/projects/ux/lists/discuss/archive/2009-11/message/38> My comments with Christian's msg left complete (on purpose): <http://openoffice.org/projects/ux/lists/discuss/archive/2009-11/message/39> Christian did some work on the issue: <http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16937> <http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16937#c15> <http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=DEV300%2Fimpressmedia01> That work is targeted for OOo3.5. I've no idea whether Christian will take my advise to add a wizard to provide the user the option to embed or unembed etc., but it will be interesting to test. Apparently Christian's code (or some similar) found it's way in to Ubuntu's (go-oo) release around the (U)OOo 3.2.1: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/660807> Reading that bug is somewhat interesting; it shows issues with the content.xml links. Searching: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=LibreOffice&content=impress+links> Also: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33156> [not shown in the former search as LO doesn't have a component tree for bugs, so you need to search in general] shows additional issues that have been filed for LO. Given Oracle's tossing OOo back over the fence, I am not even sure Christian (or anyone) is still working on this issue. But IMO Impress is a critical component of LO, so I would hope so. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
