xml import and export implementation for custom shapes is katastrophic
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:23 UTC
the custom shape import and export implementation does not check namespaces on import, it duplicates strings that should be stored in the xml tokenmap of xmloff. Sven, please contact me for details
Can it be that you looked a little too deep into the wine glass ? I understand many things under the meaning of the term "Katastrophic" but not that strings are doubled and namespaces are not checked. I do not need to tell you that we were a little under time pressure when creating the CustomShapes, so it might be that not everything is well formed and in-depth optimized. Our new CustomShapes are not comparable to the other drawing objects, because not every property is expressed within a single item and the complexity is even higher as everything that is handled in xmloff before, in other words, the xmloff infrastructure did not meet the requirements of a CustomShape during implementation. Whatever, it is not usual to put multiple defects into a single issue, this should be corrected. Maybe the first issue could be named : "doubled strings are used within the XML CustomShape import implementation" and the other "namespaces are not checked by the XML CustomShape import".
