I did an experiment with chatgpt to convert libreoffice macros to python and handle possible errors.
Was the result of the code correct? Should anything be changed?
macro in basic: Basic error on close
Sub closeOOo
Dim oEnum
Dim oDoc
oEnum = StarDesktop.getComponents().createEnumeration()
Do While oEnum.hasMoreElements()
oDoc = oEnum.nextElement()
If HasUnoInterfaces(oDoc, "com.sun.star.util.XCloseable") Then
oDoc.setModified(False)
oDoc.close(True)
Else
oDoc.dispose()
End If
Loop
StarDesktop.Terminate()
End Sub
