Summary: embedding movies in libre office
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: dav1dblunk...@hotmail.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Presentation
Product: LibreOffice
When inserting movies into l;ibre office the default is to link them unless the
tickbox "link" is unchecked <every> time.
There appears to be no way to "uncheck" link once the movies has been inserted
(actaully for me there appears to be no way to do anything with the movie once
inserted at all except play it during presentation mode).
This appears to be a bug or significant ommision since the only way to test if
it is embedded or linked is to save it and transfer it to another machine
without the movies and load it again to see if they are there.
I understand that automatically embedding "movies" is probablty a bad idea but
my experience of using this I think reflects the mainstream in that I always
want to embed the movies and never link them because the disk storage penalty
is trivial compared with the embarrasement of turning up at a conference and
discovering 1/2 my presentation is missing.
(1) please provide a few more "this is what the file is, this is where it is
stored" typr controls for these objects
(2) please allow the "link" option to be uncheck once the movie is inserted -
it is really annoying to have to delete the move and reinsert it to fix this
and (feature request coming)
(3) please put a "save with all media embedded" option into "save" which will
allow people like me to work with linked media on my desktop and then easily
save to a stick or laptop without fear of half my content being absent when I
give the talk.
Should I have missed these features in 3.5 then change my bug report to "none
of these options are at all obvious"!
Thanks!
