[Bug 1094296] Re: LibreOffice 4.0 support

 

I'm using Kubuntu 13.04 with OpenLP 2.0.1 and LibreOffice 4.0.2.2.
OpenLP opens the presentation both in Preview and Live Pane, but the
presentation doesn't appear in field below the Preview and Live Pane. I
mean: it doesn't go to the second screen.

This also happened to Ubuntu-gnome.

Title:
  LibreOffice 4.0 support

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenLP trunk series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since libreoffice 4.0 is in beta stage, I think we should start
  looking at supporting it in the presentation plugin.

  According to the release notes
  https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0

  these changes could cause openlp to not work with libreoffice 4:
  - "The bundled Python was upgraded from Python 2.6 to Python 3.3" - libreoffice 4 integration will probably work only with python 3
  - some api changes/removals/deprecations

  One solution could be to not use UNO-python but use the ctypes module
  from python that is able call directly functions from C/C++ libraries.

  I think that with ctypes we could support multiple libreoffice
  versions without worrying about UNO and python incompatibilities.

  To ease the creation of ctypes bindings for libreoffice we could look
  at a tool ctypesgen that could generate pure python bindings from
  supplied C/C++ headers.
