Re: off-list Re: [libreoffice-users] Serious problems with "Insert Movie and Sound..." on MAC OS X 2 bugs.

I have subscribed to the list again.  I didn't get any responses to the email requesting help with 
inserting Movie and Sound.  I submitted 2 bugs about the subject.  One about the text wrapping 
problem and the other not being able to play videos in OS X Snow Leopard.  The latter is a 
regression from 3.3.

The same things happen in 4.0.0 and also embedding audio doesn't work in 4.0.0 it did in 3.6.5.  
The video situation is just the same.

How do you bump up thread in an email list?

I have had no response to the bugs about inserting Movies and Sound which were sent a week ago.  I 
have had some response about a BUGASSISTANT bug where the BUGASSISTANT won't work in Safari and 
just comes up with a message saying it isn't working pleas try later.  It does work immediately if 
you use Firefox or any other browser.  Someone said they couldn't reproduce it and could people 
running Snow Leopard please try to reproduce it.  Also the bug tittle was corrected by someone with 
the correct working of the message.  But that is all.  Nothing about the Movies and Sound errors, 
that seem serious.

Hi :)
Did you get any good answers to this?  Have the problems been sorted out in the 4.0.0?  (somehow i 
doubt it but it's possibly worth asking).  Perhaps now-ish would be a good time to bump your thread 
on the list?

Regards from 

Tom :)

  Note that graphics wrapping (inserting pictures) works properly and saves the correct wrap option 
e.g. "Though Wrap" is saved correctly for pictures, it just doesn't work for sound or video icons!
