unoconv A New File Name

[plickx]

Hi,

I am converting PPT -> JPG (Just the first slide)using following command:

/usr/bin/unoconv -f jpg -o /home/ubuntu/files/1.jpg -e PageRange=1-1 <file.ppt>

(I was hoping to have the converted file call 1.jpg. But instead I got a directory called 1.jpg and the new file inside like: /home/ubuntu/files/1.jpg/file.jpg)

I'd like to specify the new file name instead of unoconv using the destination file name as the default. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it is possible. Since the export filter exports one or more files, it expects a directory, not a file.

Is there any way to convert every slide in ppt presentation to jpg image, not just the first one? PageRange filter doesn't seem to work.

PageRange is a PDF export filter option, it does not work with other export filters like the jpeg export filter. I am not sure whether the LibreOffice/OpenOffice jpeg filter can export to more than one file, whereas PageRange will simply add the selected range of pages to a single PDF (just like you would select what to print).

We would like to have the ability to make selections during the conversion, and there's a separate issue #34 open for this.

A workaround could be to use the html export filter, which also exports the slides as individual images.

OK. Thank you for clarification.

I am closing this issue as there's nothing to add beyond issue #34.
