Re: Is it save to assume that Issue 12219, will not be fixed?
Sadly this is not that easy to describe. I have no Idea what you are good at, or interested in. If you are not a developer you can still go into a support role. Main goal would be to attract new devs and keep the active ones motivated. We have per month one or two people interested with a developer background. They are usually the follow the order type of people. (Which we are all are trained for.) Our development community does not work that way. you are as a volunteer in the lead. You are setting the goal. OpenOffice is IMHO quit anarchistic. Still we need support, convincing people to become involved. Another path I can imagine is, the most recited techie path. It is about learning what there is to know and fix it yourself. Matthias on this list for example, was a user when he started with OpenOffice. He taught himself how to build OpenOffice, and learned all the tech stuff to make a release. He is today, one of two very important volunteer that are organizing releases from the development tree. The third path I see is building a bazaar. If we could organize the users, somehow to crowdfund, we could draw attention from companies that build software on professional bases. Also we could attract new companies to this Project. There is an alternative to payed forces, the companies who today use OpenOffice, if we can convince two to provide permanent developers / part time developers, we would also win. I know these are still pretty vague, more like various small visions. Still, I hope it gives you a picture.

This is a basic feature of every file manager (e.g., Explorer on Windows). However, you can do this also in OpenOffice in the File dialogs. So, go to "File - Open" , navigate to the respective directory, select the file, right click on it and choose "Rename".

I hope you > will answer this email. > *joangisenb...@gmail.com * > Joan Isenberg A way to change the default fonts in OpenOffice is to use /Tools/Options/OpenOffice Writer : Basic fonts (Western) and select the changes using the dropdowns. If using a Mac, Options is under preferences. It is better to change the fonts in the default template(s) you use, but you will have to learn how to use Styles, which are the best way to control formatting in OpenOffice. A good introduction is given in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Writer_for_Students The recycle bin is on your operating system's desktop - it does not form part of OpenOffice - if you reduce the OO window from full screen you may perhaps (depending on sizes and layouts etc) see the Recycle bin. Deletion of documents is best done at system level on your computer. If you do not wish them to show in /File /Recent documents, click on the "clear list" entry at the bottom of that list; however, the documents will still remain on your computer until deleted - as I wrote, best done at system level. However, in OO's file selection dialogs one can select a file and press the Delete key. I do not think there is any recovery from this, which is why it is better to delete files at system level. You can change the file name name of a document by (in OO) "/File /Save as" and giving it a new name. You will now have two files - the new and the old. If you right click on a file at system level, you should be offered a popup which will include Rename file. The online support is offered by OO users on a pro bono basis. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Macros Depot should be removed
Hello dev, In Macros OpenOffice, we found a container named Depot. This app don't work. If you run Depot/Depot/Initalize from Calc, an error occurs: No control with the name 'CmdInternet' found - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Hi Peter, Thank you for your comments re. this open issue. If I wished to elevate interest in this issue, and perhaps encourage that it be addressed, exactly how should I go about it? Gerry -Original Message- From: Peter Kovacs To: gerry.liebling ; dev Sent: Sun, Apr 7, 2019 6:53 pm Subject: Is it save to assume that Issue 12219, will not be fixed? Hello Gerry, The dev email list is much better for communication then the bug report. You have asked the following question in a bug report: Is it safe to assume that this issue will not be addressed in the foreseeable future? Long Story short: If the invest stays on the level as is, the answer is yes. It is up to the community to make a change. And everybody can make a change. There are lots of opportunities to get involved, but nothing that is low hanging or quickly done. If one wants to become involved it needs some endurance and stubbornness to get move. This is our biggest blocker in a lot of ways. HTH Petko
