--- Comment #32 from Andy <[email protected]> ---
I am quite surprised by this.
It is true that the main use for the good old html export wizard was to
automatically produce a series of bitmaps of the slides, not necessarily to use
the html format in itself. This said, how on earth do I now get the hundred or
more bitmap files of my slides??? All other filters (It seems to me the SVG as
well) export just ONE single slide at a time!! Or am I missing something???
In fact if I do a search on the web on how to export a whole bunch of slides to
image files, the same advice turns out all the times: export to html and then
pick the images that were produced.
So it is not really a need for the html infrastructure, and if the other export
filters would allow to export multiple slides into multiple bitmap files, it
would probably be as good (maybe better, since some other export filters have
more formatting options). 
However, the point is... the html export wizard was, as far as I know, the ONLY
way to get image files of all slides with no effort! 
So what can we do now? at the moment I am using an old portable LO6 that I have
on an external disk... but why wipe out a somehow useful utility that was
already there, causing no harm to anyone?? who is benefiting from this?
I have also read the above discussion thread, and I must say I found the
reasons for this quite vague and thin... with some comment disagreeing as well.
Especially as there is no alternative!
Anyway, if I am stupid enough not to realize there is another way to produce
bitmap files of your slides automatically, I am more than ready to take the
blame. But otherwise, having to export some 150 slides of a presentation one at
a time is really no serious option.
And, I know the pdf export is there and it is multipage, but you'll agree that
a single pdf file is not always the reasonable solution.
That's it, thank you for listening,
