Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Consistently poor Impress performance in Mac OS X

Hi :)
You are welcome.  I think i would move in 3 directions at roughly the same time.  Hmmm, well maybe 
i wouldn't go for the 3rd option as my coding is probably fairly lousy
1.  Keep using the one that does work, ie Apple Keynote but still use Writer and Calc etc, just not 
Impress except for just playing around
2.  Test the idea about shrinking some of the images (byte-wise not in physical size) using Gimp 
(which is free and OpenSource
3.  Join the Devs Team for a little while and maybe try working on an Easy Hack or 2 and see if i 
could build-up to working on Impress to improve it.  Even if you don't get that far it might 
free-up some time for other devs to look into Impress more.  
4.  Get a couple of mates to join in with the coding idea as a race to see who gets the furthest 
fastest, perhaps make it part of Google's Summer of Code or a college project or something.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hello,

Thanks for your quick replies!

I really don't think my pictures are too big at all! I've made slideshows with Apple Keynote or 
Micro$oft Powerpoint with almost a hundred slides, that were very multimedia heavy (including 
videos, high resolution images in MBs each, etc.), and they run *flawlessly* with transitions, etc.

I also tried installing LibreOffice on other Macs, and get the same problem.  In all cases they 
grind to a halt  as soon as I begin adding things other than pure text/bullet points to the 
slides...

Sounds like this is an issue specific to LibreOffice Impress running on the Mac??? Am I the only 
person experiencing these performance issues? But if so, why did the other Macs I tried this on 
also have the problem?

I think LibreOffice should be built so that it can handle multimedia rich presentations in Impress!

I would really like to find a solution to this, but otherwise I guess I need to stick with Apple 
Keynote for the foreseeable future... :(
