Description sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-30 02:51:42 UTC 
Created attachment 59264 [details]
example document with animation

Steps to reproduce:
0. Open attached file
1. Select square there
2. File->Export, select GIF as type, check "Selection" on bottom, enter filename, press Save
3. Open produced GIF image in viewer
Expected: produced picture is with animation, in this example rotation
Actually: picture without animation

Further information:
Help topic "Exporting Animations in GIF Format":
1. Select an animated object on your slide.
2. Choose File - Export.
3. Select GIF - Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) in the File type list.
4. Click the Selection check box to export the selected object, and not the entire slide.
5. Locate where you want to save the animated GIF, enter a name, and then click Save.

As I can see, or it is a bug in program, exporting works wrong. Or it is bug in Help, and in step 1 should added word GIF:
1. Select an animated GIF object on your slide.
And this means just extracting GIF picture from odp file.
Reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.1 on Fedora 64 bit

All this is about exporting animations made following "Creating Animated GIF Images" Help chapter, not "Animating Objects in Presentation Slides".
Comment 2 A (Andy) 2013-02-16 20:35:52 UTC 
reproducible with LO 4.0.0.3 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

The LO Online Help says, as mentioned in the bug report, the possibility to export animated GIFs.  The related LO help topic speaks about "Creating Animated GIF Images" in Impress, therefore it seems to me as it is a bug.

The problem with this bug is that we need more information, that the users have been unable to give us. It has affected https://vidmate.bet/ at least 3 different people, which is why I'm reopening and setting to new.

Dear sasha.libreoffice,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
