Slide numbers aren't preserved #10

Closed FlorianPfaff closed 4 years ago

FlorianPfaff commented 10 years ago

Hi. Firstoff, this is a great extension and works (since 0.40) almost entirely as expected. There is just one issue: the slide numbers aren't preserved and will go up with any bullet point appearing. Anyways, I can understand if fixing that issue is out of scope for this project, but thanks for considering it, and most of all thanks for this great extension.

Thanks for the great suggestion. No time to work on it but I'm sure that somebody in the Github crowd will soon or later handle this :) --Martin

Hi Martin, I have just forked the repo as I would love to implement this, but I have barely any experience with basic and the libreoffice API. Would you be willing to give me some pointers? Tim

That would be great to have your contributions.

I would suggest to have a look at https://api.libreoffice.org/

It seems like we need to be able to access the SlideNumberShape and convert it to a constant number before duplicating the slides with animations.

This is still an issue for me, all my slide numbers are incremented with the animation slides. I'm running LibreOffice Version 7.3.7.2 on Ubuntu.

As far as I know, there are 4 ways of inserting slide numbers:

Methods 1, 2, and 2 are not immune to re-numbering. When I try the fourth method, I can't get it to number all my slides consistently (most slides just aren't numbered), but it is immune to re-numbering on the slides that are numbered. However, exporting to PDF changes the font and forcibly inserts the total number of slides.
