Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 74723
Starting a presentation from a hidden slide starts from the first slide.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:06:09 UTC
- create a presentation with a few slides - set one slide to hidden (not the first) - Start from the hidden slide - the presentation starts from the first slide.
I think the 3 step should be describe as follows: Open the Slide Show Settings dialog("Slideshow"->"Slide Show Settings"- >"Range"->From;)then set slideshow start from the hidden slide. after this operation, the presentation starts always from the first slide.
confirm the bug.
in the default installation of OOo in 'Tools / Options / OpenOffice.org Impress / General' 'Start presentation / Always with current page' is 'switched on' per default. Therefore there is no need to define a range. It's enough to hide the slide and start the presentation from the hidden slide.
Created attachment 43587 [details] this is the patch file
Issue type should be Patch. A patch is existent. It should be evaluated and integrated if good.
Hello cl, the behaviour in that case (hidden page is start point) is also no specified. I would expect the presentation to start from the slide after the hidden slide, at least it does not make sense to start from slide 1. This is a bug for you.
patch looks ok to fix the given issue but as I noted in issue 74718 there may be problems with jumps to hidden slides later. But that seems to be an unrelated bug that I have to dig into
is there anything left to do for liutao ?
this patch does not work with hidden pages, setting issue back to defect
set target to 3.x according to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
