Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 76030
Export saves the entire page
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:40:43 UTC
Again problems with image export... This is new to 2.2, it worked fine with 2.0 and 2.1. Create an image. drag the margins to include only the area of interest. Export to PNG or JPG (the two formats that I checked). I am formatted for a page size of 8.5" x 11", so the exported image is of this size rather than the size specified by the margins. It might be argued that this is the same as issue 66044, which is specific to SVG export. My guess is that the problem IS the same, but this issue was present in 2.02, and this behavior with PNG and JPG is new to version 2.2 (unless it happens to be related to the files that I will attach). http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66044 Less related to issue 46394, which simply has the wrong size. The enhancement listed in issue 62446 would likely fix this as well (export and ignore extra white space).
Created attachment 44167 [details] This document exports incorrectly.
Created attachment 44168 [details] Exported image that is bad
Created attachment 44169 [details] Setting the page size to User allows for proper export.
This works when exporting a selection. Examining...
I just tested, and you are correct, if I do a select all and then export, it exports only the image without the extra stuff around it. This, at least, is a quick work around. This is, in general, acceptable. Until now, an export of the entire document, was based on the size of the margins. So, I could drag the margins as close to the graphic as I desired, and that was what was exported. It appears as though it no longer cares about the margins during the export. If the change is intentional, then so be it. If the other behavior was desired, then we have a bug. If neither was intentional, then they can choose to do as they deisre. If a user wants to set a specific size, they can always generate an invisible square and then size it as desired, or simply set a "user defined page" and size that appropriately.
Reproducible. Worked in OOo2.1. Reassigned.
I do not have enough time to fix this issue for OOo2.3, so I change the target to OOo2.4.
I am sorry, I have to retarget this issue again.
