------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 5 12:23:08 -0800 2006 ------- This is beginning, I regret to say, to look like a service-killer problem. Many of us use OoO from what might be called a "political" choice to use Open Source products rather than proprietary stuff and I will admit, to some extent, to being one of that group. However, I am not a masochist and there are limits beyond which I simply can't go - limits which I suspect many will reach long before I do. The plain fact is that even though Impress is good - in fact, in many ways a vast improvement over things like PowerPoint and even Flash - there is simply a burning need for this path management. No respectable modern presentation, much less a modern application or internet-based web application such as a teaching package which is precisely what made me mention this problem in the first place, can possibly be expected to operate without managable path controls whether handled as a process timeline as in Flash or as an event-model as I understand will be the case with XAML and is definately the case with PowerPoint. We have now all been quietly sitting back and patiently waiting for this now for almost two years. In that time, the world of ineractive applications has moved on a long way and it is now for all practical purposes impossible to manage without this feature. Its time to face the facts that either this gets prioritised as a critical fault issue that is seriously damaging the widespread use of the package, or we accept that Impress is pretty much a dead product. Without this feature, it might as well not exist and people are already moving to other, often also free, alternatives just because we cannot do this apparently simple task within OpenOffice. Sorry guys, but Pancapangrawit has hit the nail on the head here. OoO is now pretty much alone with this problem and is desperately in need of some action. Even I have started to use Flash now rather than Impress and we really do have to move before Google decide they would like to pull the rug out from under us in the realm of presentations as well as spreadsheets and documents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
