Description heidi 2015-05-14 19:28:57 UTC
I think it's pretty weird that Impress can't do something basic like insert a link into a slideshow. I'm saving this as a *.pptx file (PowerPoint) for job reasons and, if I can't do this, I'm basically losing money. I'm sure you get the picture. It's all on the latest versions.
Comment 1 Joel Madero 2015-05-14 19:48:45 UTC
Please provide reproducible steps....there is nothing here that tells us what you have tried.

Also - if you're using LibreOffice in an office setting where you are making money...I highly recommend getting paid support and contributing back to the community: http://www.documentfoundation.org/certification/developers/

Marking as NEEDINFO, once you provide reproducible steps of what you have tried, please set it to UNCONFIRMED.

If you are just not sure *how* to insert a hyperlink - I suggest asking on the user forum as that's a user question (and not a bug report).

Thanks for your understanding.
Comment 2 Joel Madero 2015-05-14 19:49:01 UTC
Sorry I meant user mailing list - we don't have a forum :)
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2015-05-14 19:58:35 UTC
Ubuntu 15.04
Ubuntu 4.4.2.2 release

FWIW - I just inserted a hyperlink without a hitch (and I'm not getting paid for this time :) )

1) Start impress;
2) Type some text;
3) highlight said text;
4) ctrl + k OR insert -> Hyperlink

You can also skip typing the text and just:

1) start impress;
2) ctrl + k  OR insert -> hyperlink

type whatever you want, and it'll appear.

If those steps don't work for you, please report back with proper reproducible steps, what you see, and what you expect and then mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 4 Joel Madero 2015-05-14 20:04:33 UTC
Upon further (free) investigation I have identified the bug. Steps below:

1) start impress;
2) insert a hyperlink (ctrl + k)
3) Save file as pptx
4) Close file;
5) Open file

Observed: Link is no longer there;
Expected: Link is maintained

Note: PPT works fine (so to the original reporter, I suggest saving as a ppt instead of a pptx)

@Reporter - we do not give time estimates, a volunteer will have to voluntarily resolve the bug (or like I said, you can pay for support which will get a company to fix it)

I am doing further regression analysis to find out if it's a regression.

        Now a unique id for each page and each shape is generated through the UnoInterfaceToUniqueIdentifierMapper class.
    
        This class is the same used for generating a unique identifier for pages
        and shapes when a presentation is saved in odp format.
        No change to the presentation engine script has been needed.

Please dont just CC random names showing up in a bibisect if you dont know what they mean.
Comment 7 Gerhard Schaber 2015-06-22 08:19:14 UTC
I know what it means, but indeed was not sure how deeply everyone was actually involved. Please remove the irrelevant ones. Thanks.
