Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52502
Interaction "run program" warning-messages-boxes not to turn off
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:16 UTC
I put in a presentation an actionbutton. This button I gave the interaction "run a program" and choose a *.sh-file (runable). If I run the presentation (F5) I get two dialog-boxes with warning-messages: first for the hyperlink and second for the running of a program. There is no option in OOo to turn this off. But I mean, that there had to be this option: The interaction is the only way in OOo 2.0 to play sound during the whole presentation (background-sound). And it is also the only way to play sound- or video-files with specific codecs (not supportet from the JMF) on a linux-system. The script is very simple: #!/bin/bash plaympeg /[way to the file].mp3 & I found the problem with the warning-messages on SuSE 9.3 and 9.2 with KDE 3.4.1 (OOo1.9m115 and m121). I tried to set the options for the macro-security (in options-dialog) to a lower level. There was no change with the dialog-boxes. I see also no change when I put the folder of the script to the secur-folder (of the macro-security-dialog in tools-options-OOo-security).
confirming. There is no longer a way to run a program without the warning dialog. Furthermore on gnome the shell-script is not run, but opened in a text-editor (the default mime-action for that filetype). Regression since you could run the script in OOo 1.1.4 without any error messages (and it did run it, not open it in a text-editor)
Reassigned.
This is not a bug but an enhancement. We can't switch of the macro warning for executing shell scripts.
