Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress?
Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress?
I'm a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too.
We are generally happy, but for the video side. When you insert a video in your presentation, there is no way to pause and rewind, look for a point of the video. It is a known issue, open for 10 years, and we were wondering if there is a fundamental reason or obstacle for this feature.
Who's up for implementing it? 😁
I'm sure a lot of people will be infinitely thankful!!
It was probably not a version 1 feature initially and nobody had been sufficiently motivated and skilled enough to fix it since
Why are you posting this here? This is not Linux specific.
Better ask on the bug tracker or on any libreoffice related forum/subreddit/lemmy instance.
Well, if they hadn't posted here, I, for one, would never have become aware of the issue, and I'm glad I have!
I saw a Libreoffice community but wasn't very active.. so I thought here I could find users of the software and experts on the possible technical issue. Hope this doesn't bother too much.
You must be fun at parties...
Who knows? Have you tried OnlyOffice?
Onlyoffice is partly proprietary and includes tracking
I did, last time two months ago. Unfortunately their presentation software is pretty minimal at the moment, and I prefer the fully open ODP standard. Anyways, at the time there was an issue with videos that weren't playing at all.
