Bug ID: 152192
Summary: Support output filepath in CLI convert
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Command line interface convert using --convert-to does not support specifying
an output filepath. It supports specifying an output folder --outdir.
This makes using LibreOffice for workflow conversion in foreach loops using
input and output filepaths cumbersome. You need extra code to circumvent for
instance, if you want to rename your output file. This means after conversion
you have to write code to search for the converted file and then rename it, not
really having full control of the workflow.
Adding support for output filepaths would be great!
Actual Results:
At the moment, you can only set an output folder.
Expected Results:
Possibility to set output filepath in LibreOffice CLI.
There should be a check to make sure the extension of output filepath is
identical to set --convert-to extension.
There should be a check to make sure that both output filepath and output
folder is not set at the same time.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Thanks for making it possible to use LibreOffice in CLI mode to convert files.
