Hi Charles, I already suggested this a while ago to Mihai, but he does not want to change the extension. The man page for LO suggests that the -show option should play the slideshow then revert to editing. I tried today, but it only plays the slideshow, then closes the application. In your opinion is this a bug that needs raising? Personally I have no issue with changing the extension, it works :-) Best regards Dave -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
