I have a presentation made with libreoffice impress with slide format 4:3. I want to change the format to 16:9. However, when doing this, all images are stretched/scaled horizontally. It is a pain to re-scale them one by one manually.
There is a solution for powerpoint: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToConvertAPowerPointPresentationFrom43RatioTo169WithoutDistortedOrStretchedImages.aspx
Any idea for libreoffice ?

So, a little experimentation:
I assume you already know how to change the format of the slide, and when you do this there are two methods I found for maintaining the images on the slide:
- You can select the images(s) in the screen, cut them (ctrl-x) chage the format and then paste the images back in (ctrl-v)
- In the dialog for changing the screen size, there is a checkbox titled "Fit Object to paper format" - clear this checkbox, and the images on the page will not be re-scaled. You will need to re-position them.
