------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 9 16:47:51 -0800 2006 ------- Several times, I have ended up with OOo Impress files that could not be opened because OOo would crash when loading them. That sort of thing is very seriously and makes Impress nearly unusable for preparing presentations: a user can't use a presentation tool if he has to fear that making even a small change will result in a presentation file that cannot be loaded or displayed. Somehow, this needs to get fixed. Frankly, I don't have much confidence that a huge C/C++ project like this is ever going to catch all the bugs that cause the application to crash. But at least a workaround for these kinds of problems would be good. My suggestion would be to create a robust import function that gives the user more control over what slides get loaded. In particular, it might give the user the following options: -- exclude all embedded images -- exclude all linked images -- exclude all objects -- remove aniations -- exclude specific slides -- remove all theming Such a workaround is less than perfect, but until OOo stops crashing, it's necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
