Export to swf of presentations = useless for uploading to Youtube
Hi there, Apache OpenOffice 4.1 here, WinXP64. (yes, xp64, long story, no I won't upgrade). I created a 64-slides long presentation using AOO. I need this converted to video to upload to Youtube. I read somewhere that you could export to SWF and that Youtube accepts SWF uploads. So I used the Export function and saved the presentation to SWF. Strangely, a 13.5 megabytes big presentation is conveted after the export to... a 903 kbytes swf file (and the export takes a long long time). So, being the Human Magnet for Software Bugs, it seems I've hit the first AOO bug in the export to swf function... ;) When I upload this to Youtube, YT shows me a still frame while processing, warns it couldn't identify the audio codec (my presentation has a mp3 audio embedded), and after a while says done! when you watch the video, it lasts less than half a second. Which explains why a 13.5 MB stills presentation couldn't possible turn into a VIDEO of 903 kbytes... Where can I upload this test document for devs to test?. Thanks in advance.

What is the SWF export good for, then? Just to answer myself... I get it now, export to SWF writes a FLASH SLIDESHOW of the presentation, it´s now SWF video or a Flash video by any means... (Realized that by opening the swf file with a browser, it works, as a slideshow flash object, sans audio). I think this is an usability bug, it should be properly labelled ¨SWF slideshow not just export as swf. Specially when there´s tons of documents talking about uploading swf video to youtube. Confusion might arise... (I know, TECHNICALLY SWF is a container, it could be anything, SWF video, swf slideshow, but if AOO does export as SWF Slideshow and not swf video, then the option should be apropiately labeled ¨SWF Slideshow.

To avoid the text wrap in the sub-green box as long as possible, I've moved the links with icon below the 3 text lines and added the checksum verify link also. IMHO this is the best compromise between avoid text wrapping and don't increase size for fonts and boxes.

Why are master pages renamed when saving as template?
Hi all, when saving a presentation as template, then master pages are renamed to the file name. That has been the case for the first master page since at least OOo1.1.5. Bug 119902 changes, that this renaming is done for all master pages. Now in bug 125015 this behavior comes up as bug report. Does someone know, why master pages of templates are forced to have a name build from file name?
