I struggle with the > actual use case: "I want to export my presentation as bitmap but cannot > present it later". Raster graphics just don't support multiple views (well > animated gif could). I believe you have it the wrong way around. The relevant use case is a user looking to export their slide. You're assuming that that they will tell themselves "Well, I know that there is a whole-document command on the file menu for exporting the presentation, and the use case for exporting presentations to raster formats is kind of weak, so I'll assume that the LO developers have done command punning and stuck a slide-related command in there instead." - of course that's not how things work. Also: * Who said export is only into a raster format? It could be an export to HTML (!) or to a sequence of SVGs or EMFs. * Exporting a presentation to a sequence of raster images makes sense if you want a slideshow using an image gallery app with slideshow functionality. * If you want to export more than one slide in raster format, it would make sense to export all slides, then just pick the ones you want. > And I'm strongly against moving Export to a different root menu. Because? > Ultimately this is a duplicate of bug 48015 "Option to export all pages / > slides from Drawing / Presentation modules as bitmap (PNG, JPG...)" meaning > Export does work on all slides (except 'selection only' or 'current slide' > is checked) and produces many files. If this bug only asked for a clarification of the Export... command on the file menu, then it would be a stop-gap measure request until bug 48015 is fixed, rather than a permanent change. But having a slide export function on the Slide menu is definitely not a dupe. But the fact that _that_ bug has been marked NEW makes a stronger case for placing a single-slide export on the Slide menu - because the one on the File menu is slated for conversion into a whole-presentation export function, for real. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
