Hi, Which macros exactly ran automatically ? If your objection is that the PPS launched automatically in slideshow mode, then this is behaviour as designed, i.e. the soffice process is doing what it is supposed to do when it picks up a file bearing the extension PPS. If you do not want it to open the file in presentation mode, then change the extension of your file to PPT. This functionality was introduced into the code by Oracle during OpenOffice.org development (and hence taken up into the LibreOffice code) as a result of many requests by users complaining that their PPS files did not start automatically in presentation mode. The end conclusion is that this is not a bug in the current state of affairs, unless you can show that there are macros in your PPS which run despite the macro security settings being set to disable macro execution. As you have not shown that to be the case by providing one or more examples, I'm setting this to resolved, not a bug. Alex You're right about this - renaming to PPT prevented the automatic slideshow. However this is very counter-intuitive. There seems to be no option "do not auto-run" or similar that would allow someone to open a PPS slideshow in normal "edit" mode. Personally, I would have the slideshow auto-launch if the file is opened in the OS file management application, but if it is opened from soffice's File-Open dialog it should either open in edit mode, or offer an option to do so. This is an Impress issue, therefore changed the 'Component' field appropriately. |
