Subject: libreoffice-common: 'man libreoffice': "--convert-to" available filter
list not described.
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:08:12 -0500
Package: libreoffice-common
Version: 1:3.4.5-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
'man libroffice' mentions converting certain file formats:
% man libreoffice | grep -n "\-\-convert\-to" | tail -n +2
53: --convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name] [-outdir
output_dir]
61: --convert-to pdf *.doc
65: --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export -outdir /home/user
*.doc
...the examples indicate 'pdf' works. 'pdf' is the only output
format cited.
Using a 'ppt' file as input, I've also had success with:
--convert-to odi
--convert-to swf
These should all be documented.
There should also be a way for users to list all possible outputs.
Something like 'mplayer -vo help' would be useful. The output
list might be made context sensitive relative to the input.
Possible syntax, would be something like:
loimpress --convert-to list /tmp/USCarriers.pps
...'list' could show only the formats 'pps' could be partially
or completely converted to. It would not show incompatible formats
such as 'xls'.
loimpress --convert-to list_all /tmp/USCarriers.pps
...'list_all' would show all of the filters. It would show
'xls'.
Hope this helps...
