Chris Laplante added this feature on request of Philipp Weissenbacher about one and a half years ago (I sponsored this feature through freedomsponsors.org back then). However, the feature is not complete yet, because you have to add the palettes by hand at the moment. See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92354 Hopefully this can be finished sometime in the (near?) future.

Hi Charles, I am using Debian GNU/Linux. I am quite sure kdenlive is not part of the standard Live distribution of Debian, but that does not have to be a problem. You could use an USB-stick to install Debian on and install kdenlive after that with a plain "apt-get install kdenlive". More info on how to do this can be read at http://live.debian.net/manual/current/html/live-manual.en.html#the-basics Good luck!

When you want to export the file to a different format you can hide specific layers and export the rest. As far as I know that what is exported is all placed on a single layer, but I haven't tested this extensively, so I might be jumping to conclusions here.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Drawing of triangles in LO
On 2015-03-21 20:41, Daniel wrote: Is there any tutorial of how to draw tutorials (exact degrees) in LO ? Hi Daniel, Are the predefined triangles among the standard shapes of no use to you? You can find them on the Drawing toolbar, left from the shapes that are represented by the smiley. You could of course also draw three lines and then position them exactly as you want. Draw a line and then right-click on it. In the dialog Position and size you can set the position of the starting point of the line and the offset from that point to define the length of the line. Most probably it will be best to first set the length desired by drawing a horizontal or vertical line. That way you don't have to calculate the offsets. In that same dialog there is a Rotation tab that allows you to set the exact angle of the lines. Together this enables you to create any triangle you might want. It is somewhat convoluted, but it works. Once you have the shape you want it might be a good idea to select all three lines and merge them to one shape. That even allows you do apply filling, should you want that.

In that case one of the best things you can do to help yourself with similar problems in the future is to look into vim and especially into regular expressions too. Your replacement needs would have been something that regular expressions would have helped you with a lot. In particular things like postive/negative lookahead/lookback. If vim is not your thing, then Emacs might be more to your liking. Both can be a tremendous help with any problem that has to do with text.

Thanks HdV for confirming! :) I thought i had just done somethign weird when installing Kubuntu. Some additional data I just received from one of the colleagues. This problem also appeared on Windows 7 and 8 clients. But one of the more technically versed persons thought it might have to do with the quality of the network connection. That was because using the same laptop and NAS but connected to another WLAN he did not have these problems. That first network is indeed not constant in speed and sometimes slows down to a crawl (although it doesn't lose its connection altogether).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Impress won't save changes in master slide
Hi Tom, Wrt sponsoring devs to work on key issues affecting your company Many companies employ devs to work directly on LibreOffice. Famously openSuSE and Redhat but also many others such as Canonical also various governments and companies that are not primarily computer-related. Smaller companies can do so on a smaller scale, perhaps just 1 and only part-time. Also very possible to have maybe 2 part-time devs working on a variety of projects (incl the company website's under-laying structure (marketing deals with the surface images and content right?)) but being given specific tasks and priorities as and when a need arises. There are crowd sponsoring sites for specific one off issues but i can't remember any and anyway it looks like this issue is already solved by just upgrading to a newer release in (hopefully) the same branch. Moving to another branch sometimes means surprises and not always good, usually but not always. Staying in the same branch (such as 4.0.4 to 4.0.6 - or 4.1.0 to 4.1.5) is roughly the equivalent of just adding a new Service Pack. Thanks for your answer. I am going to install the latest version to verify this, but I've read somewhere that the problem still persists even in the most recent version. Not sure yet if it does for me. I'll find out. I think I'll try to find a crowd sponsoring site if the issue isn't solved.

[libreoffice-users] Impress won't save changes in master slide

[libreoffice-users] Trouble with disappearing master elements in Impress
Hi all, We use a template for our presentations in Impress. Recently I had someone create a new presentation from that template, but when I received the file back from him I noticed that on most slides (all except the first and last) the footer from the slide master was gone in the actual slides (it is still there though in the master itself). I tried to re-apply the master to those slides, but that did not help. As I noticed that for some slides the layout was changed too I also tried re- applying the layout, hoping that would somehow help. Sadly, it didn't. Anyone had this problem before? If this is a bug, does anyone know of a workaround? As an easy way out I tried to copy the slides from the corrupt version to a new file, but the copied slides in the new file still show the same problem. Does anyone know of a way to paste slides without pasting the master and layout parts? Say a paste text and images only, but not look and feel option?

Re: [libreoffice-users] editing an Impress file
Hai Andrew, Most probably the linespacing is reduced to fit the text in the textbox. If you click somewhere on the text and then press escape you'll see a hatched border (or in some versions only 6 little blue squares) to indicate the textbox your text is a part of. Put the cursor over that border (or one of the squares) and with the right button of your mouse select one of Text..., Size and position... or Paragraph All these dialogs contain settings that might influence this behavoir. I suspect you have a setting in one of those that automatically adjusts the linespacing or another property of the text so that is is made to fit in the textbox. Try fiddling around with those 'til you find one that satisfies your needs. Most descriptions are quite self-explaining, so I suspect you'll find the right one quiet easily.

Re: [libreoffice-users] editing an Impress file
Hi Andrew, Sorry. Forgot the second part of your question. More importantly, how do I stop this odd behaviour, and can I do it globally, or do I have to do it for each presentation that I edit, or worse, for each slide in each presentation? You can change this behavior globally for the document by adjusting the setting in the appropriate styles. Unless there are some very specific things going on in your presentation it should be enough to open the styles menu (F11), select the graphical styles (the lefmost icon with the square, triangle and circle) and after that Default from the list. From there you should see again the familiar option dialogs from my previous mail. If you want to change this for all your presentations, then just edit the template or copy an existing presentation as a new template. See Templates under File in the menubar.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Embedded video in Impress
Hai Malcolm, This has got to be really easy but I can't figure it out :-( How do I embed a video on a slide and then have it only play when you click on it. At the moment it starts playing as soon as I show the slide. Until this bug or missing feature (depends on how you look at it) is fixed you might do what I do: - Capture a picture of the movie in question and put that on a slide. - Through the use of an interaction link to the video and make it start playing when you click on the image. There's one catch though: only the most recent versions allow the use of relative links for embedding external content, making this method not really portable for versions at least up to 3.5. If it doesn't need to be portable, or if you have the same location for your presentation on the machines you use, or if you use 3.6, then this shouldn't be a problem.
