Hi,
I am writing a multi chapter text on OO/LO by using a master document and I have been hit by the following bug:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121166
In simple words, the master document does not show the tracked changes of each chapter.
This is very important to me, because we want to publish a document that shows all the changes that were made to the text.
As always, the risk is that my organisation pushes us back to MSOffice…
If I break the links (Edit > Link to external files > Break), OO/LO import all the contents of the chapters in the master file except the tracked changes.
As a workaround, I am trying to write a Python script that mimics the breaking of the link to the external files, while importing the tracked changes of the chapters.
I tried to use odfpy library for this purpose (GitHub - eea/odfpy: API for OpenDocument in Python), it imports the tracked changes and it works with simple chapters, but I cannot merge the content of complex chapters in the master document.
So my questions are:
-
Do you see any possible alternative way to achieving the same result?
-
Would it be possible to add the importing of the tracked changes in OO/LO code?
-
Where in OO/LO code is “Edit > Link to external files > Break” managed?
I thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Emanuele Gissi
