Python script

Start libreoffice as following:

$ /usr/bin/libreoffice4.0 "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;"

draw.odg contains some asian text. Let's export it using using GraphicExportFilter. I created a sample python script for this (drawpages.py):

$ cp draw.odg /tmp/
$ python drawpages.py

Now open /tmp/draw.png. Everything is displayed correctly.

Now start libreoffice in headless mode:

/usr/bin/libreoffice4.0 "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" --headless

Repeat steps above. If you open /tmp/draw.png, you will notice that all asian characters are mangled.

For convenience I attached drawpages.py and other documents. For clarity here it is:
--------------------------
import uno

localContext = uno.getComponentContext()
resolver = localContext.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
        "com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", localContext)

context = resolver.resolve("uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002;"
                "urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext")

desktop = context.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
        "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop", context)

url = uno.systemPathToFileUrl('/tmp/draw.odg')
doc = desktop.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, ())

draw_pages = doc.getDrawPages()
page = draw_pages.getByIndex(0)

gf = context.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
        "com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicExportFilter", context)
gf.setSourceDocument(page)

url = uno.systemPathToFileUrl('/tmp/draw.png')
pv1 = uno.createUnoStruct("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue")
pv1.Name, pv1.Value = "URL", url

pv2 = uno.createUnoStruct("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue")
pv2.Name, pv2.Value = "MediaType", "image/png"

args = (pv1, pv2)

gf.filter(args)

Why this complicated reproduction steps? I can reproduce it simply with 'libreoffice --headless --invisible --convert-to png draw.odg'.
Comment 5 Maxim Monastirsky 2013-11-27 09:22:50 UTC
Forgot to mention: LO 4.1.3.2 under Ubuntu 13.10 (64-bit).

That's because I discovered this issue by using UNO.

Also note, that when you use `--convert-to` flag it's not clear how LO does conversion.

But in the the script above it is clear that the problem is in a call to GraphicExportFilter.

Dear Maxim,

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
