Description Nicolas Christener 2019-09-20 14:24:11 UTC
Description:
It should be possible to export/save a file to other file formats.

So e.g. if a user edits an "odf" file it should be possible to export/save it as "docx".

I propose to have an item in the "file" menu like we have in online. But instead of "downloading" the file I propose to save the file in the current working directory.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a odt file using the iOS app
2. Open the file with the iOS app
3. Try to save the file as e.g. docx

Actual Results:
It's not possible to save the file in an other file format.

Expected Results:
It should be possible to save the fine in an other file format.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Tor implemented the PDF part in #126968, also see:
https://git.libreoffice.org/online/+/634be102c71305f0f35fe86e980ccabb381ae766%5E%21

It would be good to have a user feedback when the file is saved, see: 127664

Nicolas, should the functionality be "Save a copy as .xxx but continue editing this document" (perhaps even then called "Export as .xxx"), or "Save as .xxx and switch to editing that"?
Comment 4 Nicolas Christener 2019-10-01 12:18:44 UTC
I suggest to keep as simple as possible.

The other apps (e.g. Pages) has an "Export" function that means "Export as .xxx but continue editing this document".

I would follow this route and implement it like that as well.

Did you see #127664? Would make sense to keep that in mind here as well.
