Bug ID: 148298
Summary: Impress won't handle PowerPoint slide hyperlink
containing an executable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.1.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: r...@att.net
Description:
After copying a PowerPoint presentation from my old Windows Office computer to
my new LibreOffice PC, it won't handle hyperlinks of this sort that were built
into the presentation: C:/Program Files/Audacity/Audacity.exe
C:/Users/rsl/Birds/Presentations/NJAS/2018/Week5Sounds/49624.wav
It is intended to open the local program Audacity and display the
audiospectrogram of the local sound file 49624.wav, but, after warning that it
might be dangerous (to open the executable), it says Windows can't find it.
Would be nice if LibreOffice Impress could support such functionality.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Embed hyperlink as described above
2.Run Impress slideshow
3.Click on hyperlink text box on slide
Actual Results:
Warning issued; override warning and continue; Windows cant find....
Expected Results:
Audacity would open up on screen and display the audiospectrogram of the file
that was passed to it in its command line.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
MikeKaganski wrote: "The hyperlinks in LibreOffice are stored as URIs. There is
no built-in mechanism in URIs designed to provide command line arguments to
executables encoded as file: URIs; but it is possible to have a custom
convention on that, e.g. using query part of URI for that. That needs to be
implemented and documented in LibreOffice to work.
You are welcome to file an enhancement request, providing a clear description
of use case, and a sample of a file that works in PowerPoint - which would make
it an interoperability bug, possibly with higher chance to be accepted."
