Regina Henschel <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- I think, such additional shapes could be provided as Gallery theme by an extension. The current set of shapes is based on the shapes used by binary MS Office format. They import and export well with MS Office binary formats. The conversion between these and OOXML preset shapes has improved over time, but has still some short comings. Import and re-export of OOXML preset shapes to OOXML-formats (pptx e.g.) and 'ODF extended' works well. The problem with the requested new shapes is, that they are neither MS binary format nor OOXML preset shapes, but need to use a custom geometry. That works without problem in case of ODF file format. But it has large problems in case of export to OOXML file format, especially with handles and glue points. An export to MS binary format in an editable format is not possible. Thus such shapes will give a bad user experience for those users, who need interoperability with MS Office. Therefore I would not add such shapes to the sub-lists of the drawing toolbar or to the corresponding sub-menus. Nevertheless I think, this is a valid enhancement request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
