Bug ID: 153683
Summary: CLI: Show the module which is used in --convert-to
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
URL: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/convert-to-txt-text-enco
ded-utf8-fails/88123
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: difficultyMedium, easyHack, skillCpp
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In command-line interface, --convert-to prints some diagnostics. E.g., this
command:
> soffice --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" myfile
would produce this diagnostic:
> convert /path/to/myfile -> /path/to/myfile.txt using filter : Text
> (encoded):UTF8
If 'myfile' happens to be opened in a module other than Writer (say, it's a PDF
or ODS), then conversion would fail like this:
> Error: Please verify input parameters... (SfxBaseModel::impl_store
> <file:///path/to/myfile.txt> failed: 0xc10(Error Area:Io Class:Write Code:16))
And there is no hint to user, what the problem was. See e.g.
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/convert-to-txt-text-encoded-utf8-fails/88123.
The proposal is to print the module that is used to import the source document,
which defines which export filters are available. This could look like:
> convert /path/to/myfile -> /path/to/myfile.txt as a Draw document
> using filter : Text (encoded):UTF8
and should be done in desktop/source/app/dispatchwatcher.cxx [1] by examining
the implemented service of xModel.
