choose application, here Calc.

 In a spreadsheet with global English(US) locale setting
 =VALUE(March/8/2010) fails but
 =VALUE(March8/2010) succeeds.

I think March8/2010 should fail as well ;-)

Seriously, should monthname/daynumber/yearnumber in en-US locale be
a valid date input string?

Compare with German de-DE daynumber.monthname.yearnumber, I think no
one expects that to be valid. Valid would be
daynumber. monthname yearnumber. In en-US that would be
monthname daynumber, yearnumber

 Why is there no language group for the English locale? Do the
 developers do this job?

This is about locale dependent program logic, I think it's the
developers' job. However, for locale specific topics there's the

[dev] An image editing extension for Open office writer

2011-01-17 Thread lakmal padmakumara
Hi all ,

I'm engaging in developing an extension for OO writer which allows users to

* Re-size/Zoom images with different parameters
* Rotate images by 90 degrees (right or left)
* Rotate images from 0 degrees to 360 degrees
* Crop images effectively
* Compress Images
* Download images to the app directly from Flickr.com
* Take screen shots/web-cam snaps and edit them
* Add text/watermarks to images

You need Java Run Time (JRE) in order to use this product .And as it
involves some system calls this is more suitable for Windows users( I
will update with a complete Linux version soon).This is still in beta
phase with lot of possible improvements .And I also have my own To
Do list which I'm hoping implement ASAP .You can visit

As this is my first step towards this wonderful and giant Open source
developing community ,I will be really glad if you can hit me back
with any feed backs .Please comment on the above pages mentioning any
drawbacks/bugs/improvements .

Thanks in advance !

Hi Lakmal,

I didn't try the extension yet, but the demo video indeed looks
promising! :)

Re: [dev] Re:Re: [dev] Re:Re: [dev] how to build in specific language

2011-01-17 Thread Mathias Bauer

Hi ??,

let me summarize.

OOo does not have a full script type support: we use a hard coded table 
that assigns a script type to an ISO locale. Thus each locale can be 
used only with one script type. For Mongolian this means that the mn 
locale can be either used with traditional writing or with Cyrillic 
writing. Currently OOo uses the latter, by changing code (or adding a 
configuration item) it could be switched to use traditional Mongolian 
script (with some effort even on a per-document base). But it won't be 
possible to use both scripts in the same document.


For further discussion of this problem please refer to issue 88665:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88665

Badral Sanligin (ba...@openoffice.org) provided us with a first 
implementation of the necessary writing direction support in the Writer 
code. We had several iterations to get some bugs fixed, added some 
support for object positioning etc. But it's still not done so that we 
don't think that the code is good enough to enable the new td-lr writing 
mode in our UI. If you want, you can start working on this, perhaps 
together with Badral. I will support you where possible.


The first work from Badral will be available on the DEV300 code line 
soon and I will notify you when it's integrated.


Best regards,
Mathias

If I understand correctly, you want to use the traditional Mongolian
text layout.

This writing mode is still not supported in OOo. We have a CWS (feature
branch) that adds a first version of it and it is waiting for
integration. It needs some more work before we can offer it to users,
but if you wanted to work on that matter, we could help you getting
started. There is at least one more developer that is interested in
that, perhaps you can join forces.

[dev] How to connect with other applications

2011-01-17 Thread Alexandro Colorado
I wonder if there is a best practice to connect with applications. So far
many people used webservices such as REST or XMLRPC to connect with webapps.
But I am wondering if there is a way to connect to third parties desktop
applications. I know that the guys on the forum have been able to do this on
windows with COM. However I think this is not a cross platform option.
Firefox or more specifically thunderbird uses XPCOM to provide information
between applications. My question is how does a smaller generic application
connect with OOo without needing to open a socket like the uno dev example
shows on the DevGuide?

OK. We use English month names with spaces and month numbers with 
slashes, except for march3/7(UK and US) and 3march/7(UK).


Input evaluation is a bit confusing sometimes.

[dev] Restricting Some Features Dynamically

2011-01-17 Thread Marc-André Laverdière
Hello,

I am experimenting with restricting some features dynamically in opened
OOo documents.

For instance spreadsheet X would have its printing disabled, whereas
Writer document Y would have editing disabled.

The disabling of rights should happen when the document is opened.

There are two ways that I can see: having an extension coded with UNO
(doesn't look too easy to do that) or adding something to the core,
maybe as a dedicated file format handler.

Is there any other way to do it? Which way is simpler to implement?

Regards,
