Bug#626577: openoffice.org: EPS handling very crude, needs caching
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2
Severity: wishlist
EPS handling at present is unusable, especially in impress. In order
to handle EPS openoffice spawns /usr/bin/convert, converts the image
to a JPG and displays the JPG. So far so good.
The JPG however is not cached properly. As a result openoffice will
respawn on convert every few minutes for all EPS images in a document
even if none of the images is modified in the meantime.
The bug is more pronounced in impress. There 3 EPS graphics in a 8 slide
presentation render openoffice sitting and waiting for convert 75% of
the time. Adding more than 3 is pretty much a suicide note. You can go
and take a coffee between each page-up/page-down or new line (on a fairly
reasonable Athlon 64).
The quick-n-ugly fix for this can be to replace convert with a caching
wrapper of some sort instead of invoking /usr/bin/convert directly.
