Export Selection: Set as default

Post by dbarie »

Hi,

iirc versions before 2.4 had set "Selection" as a default when exporting to a graphics format.
Usually I just want to export parts of a drawing, that's why I'd love to have "Selection" checked by default. Is there a way of telling Draw to to that?

I've seen this come up before. For me, it is still the default with 2.4 for "selection" to be checked when I do File > Export to an image format, while some object is selected.

Under exactly what circumstances do you find that "Selection" is not activated?

You may want to try re-creating your OOo user settings profile.

Hi,

I recently reinstalled WinXP and decided not to reinstall OpenOffce 2.3 but 2.4 instead. The system was rebuilt from scratch. No old files were kept.

+1. Even with a new user folder (and having done the export once, next time, the option is unchecked again) under W2k and OOo 2.4.

Sorry, if I've selected something in the drawing and do File > Export, the "Selection" option is always ON for me.

+1. But under my Linux box this time!
So it's related to Windows only.
