Created attachment 171889 [details] Example file from PowerPoint Attached PP made file contains slide level header-footer settings, with 3 options enabled and “Don’t show on title slide” disabled. When opened in Impress the 3 options are disabled, “Don’t show on title slide” is enabled in the Header and footer dialog. Despite this, text boxes appear at the bottom of each slides with the date and time, slide number and footer text set in PowerPoint. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached file in Impress 2. Go to Insert – Header and Footer Actual results: The settings on the Header and Footer dialogs Slides tab are disabled, except for Do not show on the first slide, which is enabled. Expected results: The Data and time, Footer, Slide number checkboxes should be enabled, with the date and time format set in PP, and the static footer text too. Do not show on the first slide should be disabled.

Created attachment 173076 [details] The example file in PP and current nightly Looks much better after the patches in bug 59323 Only missing thing is the import of date format. Originally it's "dayname, YYYY. monthname DD." but in Impress it's YYYY.MM.DD.

@Sarper Thanks for your work in this area! I thought you would be interested in solving the remaining problem in comment #3
Hey NISZ LibreOffice Team, yeah I have a patch that I will be sending which addresses problem in comment #3 soon :). But AFAIK that problem is an Impress wide datetime field import problem (meaning it's not only for datetime footers, any datetime textfield imported has that problem)
Sarper Akdemir committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/7ec4a0872d16eb20d790eb8079ba538898fd2ff6 tdf#59323 tdf#142221: fix pptx datetime import export format It will be available in 7.3.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Created attachment 173723 [details] The example file in PP and current nightly Looks much better in todays nightly: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0cda081c9aa3b3dcb363f97bac60c845ce9a13e0 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: hu-HU Calc: CL The date formats are matched to something "close enough" (in this case day name is after the date, not before) - might be that we just need to add some more formats to this list of date formats. But I think that's a separate issue and this fileopen problem can be considered done. Many thanks!
