Bug ID: 172502
Summary: Our mechanism for exporting the selection does not
offer appropriate formats
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When making some selection, in any of our modules, and invoking whatever
command is appropriate for exporting the current selection, say via the context
menu - I should get a selection of relevant options for exporting.
Specifically, if I selected some text, I should get the option to save it as
plain text, and perhaps Markdown (with its formatting), maybe ODT (along with
other options). If I selected some drawing objects, I should be able to export
them as an ODG (even if I'm in Writer or Impress). And so on.
With the current mechanism for exporting - the single Export... command, when
you check the "Selection" dialog - there seems to be a fixed set of export
filters you can apply, independent of what you've selected - and it's missing
the options I indicated above. (Additional options may be missing, I was giving
examples.)
This report follows an observation by Dan Williams in the design meeting on Jun
17th, 2026.
