[Python] De-select image or image is overlapping

[fmj1988]

The problem for me is basically that after insert a image, the cursor is selected the image and I can't put the cursor into page again.

Here comes the post I put a few weeks into internet:
I have a code that add a image, but it add the second image at the top of the first image.Its overlaps the second on top of first.

 import PoC_officer as POF
    
IMAGES=['https://unsplash.com/photos/aEtl64kP8mk/download?force=true',
    'https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/a2/89/c6a289648d689ebf779f5c11b2699ab5.jpg']
    
L=[]
POF.Start()
    
for i in IMAGES:
    print("Download a imaagem")
    img=POF.getData(i)
    print("Add to the list")
    L.append(img)
POF.prepareDocumentMultiple(L)

as suggest in another post I did put the break, but without sucess.

Code: Select all

   text.insertControlCharacter( cursor, PARAGRAPH_BREAK, False )
   cursor.gotoEnd(False)

as a workaround, I first insert the first image, then I set the cursor at the end of the file and continue the code.

How to Run:

Code: Select all

    python3.6 starter.py
    (Pdb) c
    "First image is inserted and I select the cursor at the end of file"
    (Pdb) c
    "It is put the second Image"

I have the same problem. Been looking for a solution for too long. Did you found a solution? Because your workaround didn't work for me. Thanks!

Hi,

The dispatcher makes only use of gui command urls, that is the commands sent by menu items, tool bar buttons and so on.
This way, inserting images is always done at the view cursor position.
For your code to work, you need either:
- to move the view cursor instead of the api text cursor ;
- to use the uno api instead of the dispatcher.

Regards.
