Description chjacob 2012-11-10 17:57:11 UTC

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start MS Visio 2007 and create new drawing
2. Draw two rectangles in it
3. Connect the rectangles with a connector
4. Save the drawing and close Visio
5. Open the drawing in LibreOffice Draw
6. Move the rectangles

The result: the connector from MS Visio is not imported as a connector in LibreOffice Draw.

LibreOffice Draw does not inform the user on opening Visio document that such a problem may arise.

For those who don't have MsVisio (like me), could you:
- attach your file
- attach the screenshot of what you get on MsVisio
?
BTW, did you give a try to the newer version 3.6.3?

Yes, I repeated the steps in LibreOffice version 3.6.3.2 and obtained the same result.

screenshot with master sources updated today

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I gave it a try.
It seems a little better but we still don't see the connectors.

Noticed these logs on console:
warn:legacy.osl:8554:1:/home/julien/compile-libreoffice/libo/svx/source/sdr/contact/viewcontactofsdrpathobj.cxx:70: PolyPolygon object without geometry detected, this should not be created (!)

Two rectangles with straight connector

I see a similar problem on import of a presentation. The connector is imported as simple line not as connector.

I hope I found the correct mime type

To give an update (master sources updated yesterday), there's still no connector with first attachment.
I noticed this too:
warn:legacy.osl:14059:1:svx/source/sdr/contact/viewcontactofsdrpathobj.cxx:67: PolyPolygon object without geometry detected, this should not be created (!)

Comment 12 David Tardon 2013-11-11 13:24:47 UTC

Connectors are not supported by the libwpg api libvisio uses (IOW, to import them as lines is the only possibility). This is going to change in near future.
