The Slide Show Settings dialog provides an option to disable animations. However, unlike PowerPoint this only disables animated gif images, and not object and text animations. So: how about changing this to disable object and text animations as well? Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attachment 172986 [details] 2. Go to Slide Show – Slide Show Settings 3. Disable the “Animations allowed” box 4. Play the slideshow Actual results: Only the animated gif is not animated during the slide show, the rotating triangle and the bulleted list on the second slide are. Expected results: The triangle shapes and the bulleted lists animation should be disabled as well, similar to PowerPoints behavior.

I think, the behavior of Impress and PowerPoint is contrary: PowerPoint: The option "Show without animation" has only an effect on animations like "Fly in" on objects. It has no effect on animation intrinsic to images. The animated gif always runs its animation. It cannot be disabled with the option "Show without animation". LibreOffice: The option "Animation allowed" has only an effect on animation intrinsic to images. The object animations like "Fly in" cannot be disabled with this option. The option "Animation allowed" reflects directly the attribute "19.392 presentation:animations" with its values "disabled" and "enabled". And the text is clear about the fact, that it does only act on image animations. <quote> The presentation:animations attribute enables or disables the playback of animations that are specified within embedded or linked images during a presentation. </quote> "images" includes animate gif and svg. So you cannot simple let this attribute work on object animation too. Perhaps you might introduce a new attribute to the element "10.9.3.7 <presentation:settings>"? Please copy the template https://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/ProposalTemplate%20ODF%201.4 and fill in as much as possible, when making ODF relevant changes.
