Description mike.hall 2011-02-07 01:08:22 UTC
This issue is somewhere between 'normal' and 'enhancement'. Because intuitively the interface is very misleading, I have preferred 'normal'.

The PDF export dialogue box in Impress is partly carried over from Writer.

The dialogue should be 'slide' related, not 'page' related.

The following changes are needed:

On general tab, under 'range'

'Pages' should become 'Slides' (change of text only)

'Selection' should be suppressed - this option currently exports selected fields from a single slide. It is an option that makes sense in Writer, but the limited functionality in Impress is of little use (export of selection applies to a single slide and elements from slide Master cannot (I think) be selected for this purpose). 

Alternatively, if the functionality kept, change the interface to make it clear what it does, because, intuitively, users might reasonably assume that 'selection' means the current selection of slides.

Documentation also to be corrected.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4 - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) English UI  [OOO330m19 (build 6 / tag 3.3.0.4)]"

I believe current dialog will not cause real problems.

Same in DRAW dialogs

I remove unrelated "See also"

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 4 mike.hall 2011-12-24 04:27:25 UTC
Identical in 3.5.0b3 so have reverted to NEW
Comment 5 A (Andy) 2013-04-20 21:59:55 UTC
reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Should be an Easy Hack?
Comment 6 Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2013-04-25 15:57:44 UTC
The Print dialog has the right term "Slides" in version 4.0.2.
Only the PDF Export dialog still has "Pages".
Comment 7 Julien Nabet 2013-08-15 14:36:11 UTC
Caolán: Indeed filter/uiconfig/ui/pdfgeneralpage.ui is generic ui for LO apps. Any idea how to include specific parts for each parts?

Comment 9 Caolán McNamara 2013-08-15 19:09:54 UTC
Lets use this bug for the "slides/pages" issue which is now fixed by the above commit and leave bug 33982 for the "selection" issue.
