Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-12-29 17:12:30 UTC
A user on reddit suggested the ability to launch LO in slideshow mode and once it finishes the slideshow that it exits LO. We have a '--show' to launch in slideshow mode, but i dont see any argument to tell it to exit after slideshow finishes.

Do we have a page with a full list of all the commandline arguments, as ( https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters ) seems to be lacking in its list.

Don't know that one either.

Sounds like a valid request. Marking as such.

This would be of big benefit for LO QA, to use scripting for memory use.
