Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46894
The timings set to jump to next slide using Autopilot is considered only for the first slide
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
1) Create a presentation using an Autopilot wizard. 2) In Dialog3 of Autopilot wizard we can set the timing for each silde to jump to next slide and also to restart the slide show. 3) Set Duration of Page: 00:00:05 (5sec) 4) Insert 3 or more slides to the presentation. 5) Run presentation. Actual Result: Notice that only second slide comes automatically after 5sec and rest all the slides are to be manually driven. Which does not serve the purpose of setting it in automatic mode.
Created attachment 24770 [details] When ever a presentation is created in the automatic mode using the presenation wizard, The data enterd by the user in the dialog gets copied only to the first page of the document, This data has to be copied to all pages that are created later. So the p
When building a presentation with the wizard from a template (1st page of Wizard) this works for me. I have to investigate if this is wrong or right to copy the settings from the first slide that results out from the wizard to all others.
The Presentation when created using templates works fine, but manually when we create a presentation using the insert slide option, the time and the mode do not get updated in the slide transition pane from the second slide.
I had a talk with the developer and he said that the feature works as aspected. The problem seems to be now that the wizard promises something that cannot be guaranteed. CJ and I agreed that the wording in the impress wizard should be changed. Reassigned to Elizabeth.
Reassigning to the correct owner - sorry for that.
confirming
What this appears to be about: On page 3 of the initial Presentation Wizard, under "Select the presentation type", under "Automatic" ,you can set the duration of page and duration of pause. CJ and I looked at this and have come to the conclusion that the user expectation can only be that the duration set here is indeed for all slides in the presentation. I cannot change the wording to convey the meaning that the "automatic" duration only applies to the first slide, because this would no longer be correct for the concept "automatic", nor would any setting that only applies to the first slide make sense in the context of a wizard that otherwise applies to all slides. If the original design of the wizard specified that the duration was only for the first to second slides, it was a desgn error. No feature is perfect so there is room for improvement. In the online Help the functionality is described as follows: "Select the presentation type" Determines the timing for the presentation. You can change the settings later under the menu Presentation. "Default" The Default option runs the presentation as a full screen presentation with the specified speed. "Automatic" Runs the presentation automatically, and restarts it again after a break. You can specify related settings in the adjacent spin boxes. "Duration of page" Defines the duration of each presentation page. Reassigning to developer to correct the functionality. If this cannot be done for 2.0.1, please retarget to 2.0.2
This works this way since introducing the autopilot in StarOffice 5 To change this needs a complete new core feature including new UI and file format changes. Thats to much for a .0.x release and this is also no regression so I target it to OOo later
