Description:
Hello,

it is great to see that LibreOffice has Javascript inside but how about an implementation that users can script LibreOffice from other applications f.e.g. Automator/Skripteditor.....? to make it possible to create automation workflows across the whole OS?

This could help to kill the MS Office monster .....

Best regards


Thomas



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to skript LibreOffice from ScriptEditor/ScriptEditor/Automator
2. As far as I know not possible
3. (https://cmddconf.com/2017/videos.html) to see the possibilities

Actual Results:
NOT scriptable from outside

Expected Results:
Maybe like https://iworkautomation.com    


Reproducible: Always

Hello,
You can write your code with any of your favourite IDEs and then launch it from LibreOffice.
