Oracle Presentation Minimizer

I installed the extension, and used it on a open office presentation; now I'm trying to open it and i don't have any program that will recognize the extension .mini.t HELP!

My computer lagged out while I posted. Sorry about that

Using OpenOffice version 3.4.1, Mac OSX Intel 64-bit

When I install the extension, I get a Runtime Exception error. The full error message reads:

(com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException) { { Message = "bad property node member in file:///Users/SerinaVanNgo/Library/Application%20Support/OpenOffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/sva24kcr.tmp/SunPresentationMinimizer.xcu", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.Xinterface) @0 } }.

Also, the extension is not compatible with Open Office 4.

No idea what that means. I tried reinstalling open office but that didn't help. :$
I really need help with this. If I get this working, it'll get me out of that never-ending cycle of bullshit my school and adobe are stuck in trying to get me the proper version of Acrobat. At this point i'd much rather EAT a bat than instal Acrobat.
Help, please?

It also works in AOO 4.0.1 (RC3)?

Sorry for my english.

We’ve probably all been in the situation where we need to vastly reduce the file size of a document or other file. It can be frustrating when you really don’t know what to do with it but you have to make it smaller so it’ll fit into whatever storage you’re looking for. With the Oracle Presentation Minimizer, it compresses your presentation file by making the images smaller and unnecessary data will be removed. You’ll find that you’ll save a huge amount by doing this and the file size will be considerably smaller. It doesn’t even take any extra work either so it’s definitely worth a try.

Thank you for great work, first of all!

However, are there any hopes to receive extension of the same functionality for writer? This question arose as soon as the presentation minimizer appeared, but, unfortunately, nothing changes.
This would be very, very necessary extension to export to Microsoft word writer documents with lot of charts and formulas, because on many computers word do not recognize gdi metafiles and the only way to convert charts to something visible to word is to step manual conversion to bitmap images.

Best regards!

Excellent!
I use it all the time since all my presentations must go on my USB key.
Really very helpful!

Can you please tag this extension with 'impress' and 'presentations'. Otherwise it is almost impossible to discover it.

Hey there,
Just to let you know how much I like this extension,
so, I made a very small "howto" in spanish for end_users,

Hope this helps spanish talking people (as me) to understand and use the Minimizer,
here is the link:

OS: Windows Vista 64bit
OOo version: 3.2.0

I have a question regarding the operation of the extension. I want to be able to minimize my presentation while I am building it. I use large hi-res images in presentations and Impress gets very slow to work with and save after a few slides are added. I have noticed that the file size reduces each time I run the optimizer on the same presentation. Is this further degrading the image quality?

It would be great to be able to choose the specific pictures or slides that the extension would optimize.

Bug 1: The automatic extension option does not work. No extension is added to the end of a file when the "Duplicate presentation..." option is selected.

Bug 2: The lossless compression option for graphics does not work at all. If it is selected then the options selected for lossy compression are used. This is shown in the final Summary window.

There are more versions available at http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/stable/

There's no x86_64 binaries available on this page, but I found a Sun Presentation Minimizer x86_64 package for OOo 3.1.1 on MIB repo (for Mandriva). Wonder why it doesn't show up here ?

Anyway thanks a lot !

* Settings are readible and allow me to find the best size/quality scenario :)

* Watch out the smallest settings as it *does* pixelise the images

* Watch out some image with a "halo" arround them with smallest & medium settings

After a smooth installation I immediately tried out the extension.
Everything's ok, but after clicking on duplicating presentation on the 5th step in the wizard the windows remains greyed out and stops working.
I use OOo 3.1 with Vista.

TIA

Is it possible to run the extension in headless mode?

Also is there any known routine that could be added to break down metafiles?

See http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95684

After minimization, text colors in embedded metafiles partially change!!!

How to reproduce:

(1) Make a drawing containing texts in Draw, copy & paste it as GDI metafile into Impress Slide.

(2) Minimize, then some text colors (expecially after parentheses and line feeds) become white.

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu Hardy in OOo 2.4.1 and everytime I try to install the extension I get a "Loading component library failed file:///home/kaiser/.openoffice.org2/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/wFBPhp_/Presentation-Minimizer.oxt/SunPresentationMinimizer.uno.so".
(I changed the name of the file to "Presentation-Minimizer.oxt")

any ideas?

This plugin is causing Impress to crash when I attempt to use it with the OpenOffice.org 2.4 packages shipping with Fedora 9.

I've fixed the problem. There were missing components so I reinstalled the open office. The extension is working fine. I love it!!!

I can't find any icon or shortcut on the menu bar to sun minimizer. I am sure that I have installed the plug-in correctly but still I can't find it on the commands list. Can anyone advise me on this!

Thank you very much

Great tool! Woulld be even better if we could use this tool to reduce Writer documents:
- remove cropped area's of images
- reduce resolution for images that are scaled down
- remove external OLE linkage
- remove external Image linkage
This could make large Writer files much better workable.

If Sun is not providing a Writer version, can someone point me to the source code (extension was released under GPL but I can't find the source).

I could have sworn I'd used this extension in the past but it doesn't seem to be working now.

When I click on the Minimize Presentation button I get a popup dialog that says:

Steps

1. Introduction
2. Slides
3. Graphics
4. OLE Objects
5. Summary

Clicking on any of the items in the list doesn't do anything. I'm not sure what to do from here.

a really good tool for professional presenters .. i compressed some presentations from ca. 100:1 (containing a lot of pics)! especially for bigger presentations it saves a lot of time, not to check and fit every page manually :)

p.s. it works great for me on current version (do not use older ones ;) for winxp and suse linux

Does anyone know how to get it to work on Ubuntu 7.10 amd64? I would love to use this as I do a lot of presentations with ooimpress at the school where I teach.

Maybe I've missed the obvious, but the Minimize toolbar was greyed out and so I couldn't minimize the PPT. I tried this with two different PowerPoint Presentations, PPT files, and with neither could I use this extension.

I am running OOo on Win XP. Would love it to work...

Cheers.

It would be nice to have it also for writer documents, at least ability to reduce size of images. Than it would be extension No.1 for me.

I just compressed 60 MB Powerpoint down to 3 MB - that's cool.
