[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 122750] Why was SVM removed from Export?
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122750 Frank Zimmerman changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |WORKSFORME Status|NEW |RESOLVED --- Comment #4 from Frank Zimmerman --- Regina, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have tested out the options you mention, and they DO work. Probably the best step in my case is to do: 1. In LO Draw: Ctrl-A to select the whole drawing 2. Right-click, Convert->to Metafile 3. Ctrl-C to copy the drawing 4. In LO Writer: Ctrl-V to paste the drawing. This transfers the SVM file (created in Step 2) into the Writer document, and saves me all the export/import to/from non-perfect formats. And, by unzipping the Draw file resulting from Step 2, or the Writer file resulting from Step 4, I can get to the SVM if I need it. So thanks very much for the solution. I have to say though, that in the bug you mentioned, removing SVM was not part of the original proposition, but added by someone as a side-comment. It's a shame it was not kept, as it is a reliable format for transferring between LO components. I also question the philosophy of your statement, "Format SVM is a undocumented, proprietary format, and such should not be used for storing." We, the end-user, should not use it, but the program uses it internally? Why shouldn't we use it, if it works better than any other export format? It may not be apparent to all end-users that you can do the "convert to metafile, copy/paste, instead". Why shouldn't there be more than one way to "skin a cat"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122750 Regina Henschel changed: What|Removed |Added CC||rb.hensc...@t-online.de --- Comment #3 from Regina Henschel --- It was removed in bug 92925 from the UI, but it is still used as internal format. Format SVM is a undocumented, proprietary format, and such should not be used for storing. Workarounds in case you need a stored svm-file: 1) Open the file in LO5.1.6, that has still export to SVM and is available as portable. 2) Copy the drawing to clipboard and import it as "GDI" into a Writer document. That produces a png-file and a SVM-file. To get access to them, unzip the Writer document and open the subfolder "Pictures". Besides some different header bytes it is the same as the old SVM export. 3) Make a copy of the odg-file, open it and convert the drawing to "Metafile". Save the file, then same as 2) So, in case you do not need a stored svm-file, copy as "GDI" should give the desired result. Unfortunately paste with "Drawing format" is currently very buggy. I have not searched whether your special text problems have already a bug report. SVG-export has currently the problem, that there is no special SVG-export for drawings, but all the stuff needed for a slide show is added and makes the SVG unusable for drawings. But that is a different issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122750 --- Comment #2 from Frank Zimmerman --- Created attachment 148444 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=148444=edit rotated drawing If you really want to have fun, try exporting this rotated ODG diagram to SVG. The text gets really messed up. However, it will export to EMF just fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
