Description Mateusz 2014-09-28 19:01:12 UTC
Hey

I have many charts in Calc which I must export to any graphic format. The problem is, when I do it, file format is not precised by default. I must do it on my own. I must type "file name + .png", oherwise pictere won't be saved. It would be greate if this stuff could be done autmatic. Personally I think PNG is the best file format, but it could be even JPEG or anything else.

Valid enhancement - make settings for default export format or remember last used format.
Comment 2 Mateusz 2014-10-18 06:59:00 UTC
Interestingly enough, LibreOffice on Windows proposes export chart to SGV - StarDraw 2.0 by default. LO on Linux proposes nothing and we must choose file format intentionally. 

Btw. Why StarDraw 2 and not ODF Grapgic? I thought that developers threw out all old file format (export filters).

Hey

I can't export chart to StarDraw 2.0 file format. It's probably dead function and it should be removed from office to date. Could someone verify this bug, please?
