Why is there no presentations plugin available on OS X?
-------------------------------------------------------
Why can LibreOffice Impress not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------------
Currently the presentations plugin is not bundled with OpenLP on OS X. The
reason for that is that the OpenOffice.org version on Mac OS X does not contain
the (more exact: does only contain a broken) interoperability component (the so
called pyuno bridge) which could be used by OpenLP. As soon as the
interoperability component works on OS X we can re-enable the plugin and bundle
it. We are really sorry for that.
Currently the presentations plugin does not support Impress on OS X. The
reason for that is that the interoperability component (pyuno) in LibreOffice on
Mac OS X cannot be used by OpenLP due to incompatibilities between the version
of Python used by LibreOffice and the Python version used by OpenLP.
Why can MS PowerPoint not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------------
Currently the presentations plugin does not support PowerPoint on OS X. The
reason for that is that so far we have found that the available method to
control PowerPoint on OS X is not good enough for integration with OpenLP.
If this changes we will look at including this feature.
