Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26418
Allow file to be treated as a database
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:19 UTC
One thing the presentation component of OpenOffice.org does MUCH BETTER than PowerPoint is handle very large data files containing many (perhaps several hundred) photographs. However, it doesn't handle these very large files as well as I would like. Since the data file is quite large, over a gigabyte in some cases, a very long time is needed to open or save the file. If there was an option to treat the data file like a database where changes are written immediately as they are made, there would be no need for the save command. This also means that when presenting the presentation there would be no need for the lengthy open step, but rather the program could read the components from the data file as they are needed for each slide.
Reassigned to Bettina.
