------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 16 18:18:50 +0000 2008 ------- I'm afraid you display a distinct lack of understanding of what an Office suite is used for. Sure an office suite user print documents. But that's far from the only or even principal use. Most office documents will never see preprint or even be printed at all (in the impress case). So over-specializing the bitmap export for print-oriented people like you is a bad idea. > I suggest a more pragmatic approach to let users (force them ;-) ) > use the desirable parameters. That's not a pragmatic approach that's making impossible the use-cases you may not care about but other OO.o do need. > In general, when I (or a user) create a work, I will have to decide > beforehand, what is the purpose of this work: > A.) Display it on screen > B.) Print it This is explicit in my proposal > After deciding this, one can establish the target LPI (or PPI): 72 PPI vs > 75-150-200 LPI (for pure BW lineart, one could indeed choose 600 LPI). This is also taken care of in my proposal > Then I decide the dimension of the work (in cm, or in inch, or any valid > measure). This is also possible in my proposal, except it considers pixels a valid dimension unit, because that's the unit most bitmap image users care about (or they wouldn't be using a bitmap format) > Having both PPI and dimensions, will automatically result in the pixels needed > in the raster image. This will work in my proposal > I wouldn't go the other way round: deciding on PPI and/or > image size based on pixels. You wouldn't but others would wich is why it needs to work too > Because Draw is a vector-graphics processing program, pixels don't make much > sense either. When you export to bitmap, pixels are everything. If you don't care about them you don't need to do a bitmap export. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
