Product: LibreOffice Reporter: sasha.libreoffice

Severity: normal

Description sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-30 02:51:42 UTC
Created attachment 59264 [details]
example document with animation

Steps to reproduce:
0. Open attached file
1. Select square there
2. File->Export, select GIF as type, check "Selection" on bottom, enter filename, press Save
3. Open produced GIF image in viewer
Expected: produced picture is with animation, in this example rotation
Actually: picture without animation

Further information:
Help topic "Exporting Animations in GIF Format":
1. Select an animated object on your slide.
2. Choose File - Export.
3. Select GIF - Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) in the File type list.
4. Click the Selection check box to export the selected object, and not the entire slide.
5. Locate where you want to save the animated GIF, enter a name, and then click Save.

As I can see, or it is a bug in program, exporting works wrong. Or it is bug in Help, and in step 1 should added word GIF:
1. Select an animated GIF object on your slide.
And this means just extracting GIF picture from odp file.
Reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.1 on Fedora 64 bit

All this is about exporting animations made following "Creating Animated GIF Images" Help chapter, not "Animating Objects in Presentation Slides".

reproducible with LO 4.0.0.3 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

The LO Online Help says, as mentioned in the bug report, the possibility to export animated GIFs.  The related LO help topic speaks about "Creating Animated GIF Images" in Impress, therefore it seems to me as it is a bug.
