Hello,
using LibO Version: 7.3.6.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c28ca90fd6e1a19e189fc16c05f8f8924961e12e
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded
OS is LinuxMint 20.3 (Cinnamon)
I’d like to create a macro in Basic for Impress that would duplicate an existing masterslide. This would be a workaround to the missing “Copy
” option that exists in the UI for standard slides but not for masterslides.
I found that Impress documents expose the .Duplicate()
method, as documented here:
https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/interfacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1drawing_1_1XDrawPageDuplicator.html
where one can read:
creates a duplicate of a DrawPage or MasterPage, including the Shapes on that page and inserts it into the same model.
Unfortunately, I can’t make this method to work with master slides. Any attempt results in actually duplicating the referenced standard slide instead of the master slide. The attached demo shows the ill-behaved code TestODP_duplicates.odp (14.6 KB).
Am I missing something? Or is it a bug of sorts?
