Hi,

could you look at this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45233

It's about how to edit Autoplay Presentations (which automatically start and end). At the moment it's not possible to edit them.

I first created a patch [1] that just leaves LibreOffice open at the end of the presentation so you can edit it. This one was rejected. The reasons are in the comment.

Now I created a new patch [2] which does the following:
- If the presentation is played until the end, Impress will be closed, as it is now. - If the presentation is cancelled (ESC or Context Menu->Close), the editor window is shown and you can edit the presentation.

Now a user suggested [3] to copy the behaviour from Microsoft. It means, that you can only edit those files when you open them via File->Open. If you start them by double-clicking, they will autoplay.


Personally, I don't like the last suggestion, because it's just not intuitive. I would not try that if I wanted to edit an Autoplay Presentation. I think that the second suggestion is the best one, because that's the first thing I would try if I wanted to edit such a presentation.

What do you think?

Samuel
