Libreoffice Impress Export as Images extension does not work

Question

Libreoffice Impress Export as Images extension does not work. "Export as Images" Menu is not being added to File Menu.

Link- http://extensions-test.libreoffice.org/extension-center/export-as-images

I am using Libreoffice 3.4. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Answer 1

Quick workaround: start the Export as Images macro manually. It's located under My Macros -> ExportImages -> ExportImages. Look for a macro named ExportAsImages and run it. Once found and started, it works fine :) (i don't know why it doesn't show up in the File menu).

EDIT:

Editing the macro is possible using the built-in IDE: once it's installed, you can access its LibreOffice Basic source using Tools-> Macros -> Organize Macros... -> LibreOffice Basic.

It's also possible to run it from the command line, but in its current form, it requires user interaction to specify the output file name and graphics format. So i assume it isn't possible to run it completely in "headless" mode without modifying the source. To run it from the command line on Linux, converting the file /tmp/mypresentation.odp, use:

$ simpress /tmp/mypresentation.odp "vnd.sun.star.script:ExportImages.ExportImages.ExportAsImages?language=Basic&location=application"
