Description ravingdesi 2014-05-10 16:31:44 UTC
Problem description: 
Export of movement animations is working unrealiably. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it only works if opened in office and then saved to pptx.

Attached is a file in which the movement animations are not preserved at all.

Furthermore: The automatic slidechange after the last animation does not occur either.

Thanks for considering.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17406199/Bug4.ppt in impress. Click through the animations
2. Compare to result achieved in Powerpoint (I used powerpoint 2010 as my presentations always look screwed up when opened with 2013)

Current behavior:
No movements when ppt is opened in ms powerpoint (used 2010). They still work if opened with LO.

Expected behavior:
Proper export of movement animations, so they are properly understood by powerpoint

If of any interest, you can download the converted odp from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17406199/Bug4.odp

Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.3.3 release

Hello ravingdesi,

Thank you for filing the bug. I can confirm that the files are not playable correctly in Powerpoint after converting in 4.2.6, 4.3.3 and master.

Thought I'd rescue the file from Dropbox until it is too late.

Reproducible with:

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 399a6472f666ae6c3e20b6f8367f9fd089c15605
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-06-05_17:38:40
Calc: threaded

After saving as PPT and reopening, I could see the movement animations in LibreOffice, but could not see them in Microsoft Office 365 (version 2104). I could only see elements appearing and vanishing, no movement.

Dear ravingdesi,

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
