Pop-up window is opened when export to HTML

[humitos]

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Open Write
2. Type something
3. Export the document as HTML

Issue:

A pop-up window is opened to select some export settings.

Expected behavior:

Don't open a pop-up window. Those export settings should be set by default.

I tried to find the pyabiword documentation and I just found this link:

•  http://www.abisource.com/wiki/AbiWidget

Where is documented the abiword.save method called when you press the export to HTML button but it doesn't say too much:

gboolean save(const gchar* fname, constgchar* extention_or_mimetype, const gchar* exp_props)

I think we should look at the C source code to know how it works. This link could be useful:

•  http://www.abisource.com/wiki/AbiWord_SDK

I tried to modify this Python example[1] using the .save method and avoiding the dialog but I couldn't (attached my script)

I sent an email to the abiword mailing list. The link will appear here in a couple of hours:

J.M. Maurer <uwog@…> told me that the only way to do this is patching the C++ source code to avoid calling the Dialog.

I think that we should modify this file:

•  http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/trunk/src/text/ptbl/xp/pd_Document.cpp

We can search for the patched package here:

Reading Mark's reply he said that there was a patch to disable the HTML exporter dialog, and that this was part of the rpm. Peter removed that at one point:

This was in 11.3 too.

Is not happening with our abiword 2.9.3 rpm, and the patch is not included.

Close this ticket, can be openened if happen again, but looks like was solved in abiword.

I've just tested this on XO-4 13.1.0 os8 Write v82 and I'm having this issue.

I have installed abiword.arm7hl 1:2.9.3-1.git20121011.fc18.olpc3.

Is that the correct package to test this?
