On an ubuntu 64 bit system.

Macros scripts that used to work nicely with 3.3.2 now die with "general error" and I cannot understand the reason.

For instance, consider the following snippet


Sub SaveSlidesAsPDF(srcFile)

srcURL = ConvertToURL( srcFile )

dim oPropDoc(0) as New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oPropDoc(0).Name="Hidden"
oPropDoc(0).Value=True

'msgbox(srcURL)

oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( srcURL, "_blank", 0, _
  oPropDoc())

pdfFile=Left(srcFile,Len(srcFile)-4)+".pdf"
pdfURL=ConvertToURL( pdfFile )

Dim oPropPDF(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oPropPDF(0).Name="ExportNotesPages"
oPropPDF(0).Value=true

Dim oProp(3) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oProp(0).Name="Overwrite"
oProp(0).Value=true
oProp(1).Name="FilterName"
oProp(1).Value="impress_pdf_Export"
oProp(2).Name="FilterData"
oProp(2).Value=oPropPDF()

oDoc.storeToURL(pdfURL,oProp())

oDoc.close( True )

End Sub

This used to work just fine with 3.3.2 but now dies at the

oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( srcURL, "_blank", 0, oPropDoc())

with "General Error" that unfortunately is not a very informative error message.
