[libreoffice-users] Recording devices tab - getting it to work

[charles meyer]

Hi Folks,

My apologies as this is not a per se Libre question but I can't find a
solution audio-wise and would greatly appreciate your help.

I'm testing screen recording software.

I installed all the audio drivers from the Toshiba site for my laptop.

But, when I go to test the mic to ascertain if it's working by
clicking on Hardware and Sound (in Control Panel) and then pressing
the Recording devices tab I get that hour glass which remains on
screen for hours and never opens anything to test the mic with.

In fact, on the bottom of that pop-up box the tabs for Configure, Set
Default, Properties and Apply are all greyed out.

The screen then freezes so if I click the OK or Cancel buttons nothing happens.

To unfreeze the screen, I must access Task Manager and shut down Control Panel.

I've tried this several times and each time the screen freezes so I
can't test the mic.

I needed to test the mic to see why it's not recording audio when I
choose narration for any video screen recording I try.

I'm up to date with all my MS Windows 7 updates (including optional
updates) as well as all my anti-badware.

All my other programs on this laptop work well and the laptop shows no
signs of any problems except this one.

I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space.

Any ideas of what I can try next are very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Charles.

Well, you have Tools > Autocorrect > Autocorrect options
and there you delete that specific replacement. BUT: you have to do it for the 
language that your text is in. Apparently your text is not English (USA), 
because that has the (C) [Capital C] replaced by ©, not the lowercase (c). So 
check the language setting of your document (or that part of the document).

Thank you.
That is something  I have not thought of. However, it does not help either.
I am working on a document written in Japanese (-> a language that does 
NOT appear in the langauge field under autocorrect options),

that has to be overwritten by German. I am using a German keyboard layout.
The replacement occurs regardless of whether I type within the still 
Japanese section or the already translated German section.


German: neither deleting the entry present in the list of replacements 
nor adding (c) as new item changes anything.

Entering (c) for ALL languages does not any good either.
Does that leave "Ctrl+Z" the one and only option?

This "(c)" comes from a Japanese style of numbering (lots of) tables and 
items in a manner like "3.(4).A.(c)-1".
Don't ask me, whether that is good/right or whatever. It is just the way 
it is and therefore the way I am supposed to render it in the translation.

I would like to think, that therre should be more elegant way ...

Not an additional keyboard.  Rather change the layout.  That's easy
enough to do in Linux & Windows.  By using the international keyboard,
you get every character on the regular keyboard, in the same location,
but you also pick up more characters.  Those are accessed via the right
Alt key.

Or rather than the hassle an additional keyboard will cause--simply make use
of the Unicode toggle.

The © glyph is Unicode U+00A9,  type a U+00A9 and with cursor positioned
after the 9, use +X to toggle. 

In fact you can allow the auto-correct replacement, and then toggle back to
the Unicode codepoint and replace that simple string.
 
Works for any individual glpyh with coverage in the current font.  For
additional fonts, use the Special Character dialog.

Having done that, you might want to install the U.S. International
keyboard, should you ever require that symbol.
With it, I can press the right Alt key and c to make ©.

What is the trick required to stop Libreoffice from doing this 
conversion. If possible, I prefer NOT to turn of autocorrect entirely.


o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace.
o Find and select the specific correction for (c) - at the top of the list?
o Click Delete and OK.

Remember that there are also alternatives:

o The automatic correction is considered a separate action from the 
space or punctuation mark or line or paragraph break that terminates 
the sequence and stimulates the correction. So you can use Edit | 
Undo (or Ctrl+Z) to undo the correction and keep what you typed - as 
long as you do so immediately the correction appears.


o Another technique may be not to worry about the change when it 
occurs and to replace copyright symbols globally later with what you 
actually want.


I trust this helps.

After that happens, press Z for undo.

[libreoffice-users] How to NOT turn (c) into a symbol

[Thomas Blasejewicz]

Good evening
I have tried all sorts of settings to prevent LibreOffice from changing 
(c) into the copywright symbol.

So far nothing has helped.
Setting it as an exception does not work.
For reasons I do not understand the conversion is NOT made when I type 
(C) (=capital C).


What is the trick required to stop Libreoffice from doing this conversion.

If possible, I prefer NOT to turn of autocorrect entirely.

Thank you.
Thomas

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc suggestion

[Kolbjørn Stuestøl]

Hi Joel
Thank you for using your time to explain the workflow and "philosophy" 
of this project. I have learned a lot :-) .
I know that LibreOffice depends on volunteers. (I am just one of the 
many translators using some spare time to get LibreOffice available all 
over the world in peoples own languages).
The first spreadsheets had only a few functions and workarounds was a 
necessity in almost every spreadsheet, so I am used to write 
workarounds. I was filing my suggestion because I do not have any others 
to ask whether this function would be useful to others or not.

So again, thank you for answering.
Kolbjørn


Den 26.06.2016 22:14, Joel Madero skreiv:

Hi Kolbjørn,

I just want to make sure expectations here are realistic (I believe I 
was one who commented on the bug). Our project works by the "doers 
deciding" - so even if 100 users say they'd like the feature, *at 
most* this would result in the enhancement going to NEW as a valid 
enhancement request and then *very likely* would sit there for a long 
time (until a developer with the skills required *volunteered* to 
implement it.


I've pointed out a couple issues with adding entirely new functions:

1) We (The Document Foundation) does not control ods standards, I 
suggested to you that you poke them to see if they're at all 
interested in adding a new standards;


2) When there is currently a workable formula (even if requiring some 
nested functions) - the reason is that there are almost infinite 
combinations of nested functions that people use - if we start taking 
enhancements based on "well one function could replace this 
x(y(z(#,#))) function" than we almost have no limit. I could almost 
immediately file probably two dozen such requests.


Again, just trying to keep things realistic. Best case is that this 
goes to "NEW" just as a "fine it's a valid enhancement" but then it'll 
almost definitely sit there (possibly indefinitely).



Warmest Regards,

Joel

It looks like the developers has plenty to do adding functions to be 
compatible with other spreadsheets (read: Excel?). So most likely it 
will be marked WONTFIX.

 I just asked for this function because
1) I needed it (instead of using workarounds), and
2) it would be nice if Calc sometimes was ahead of Excel.
But, as I said, if I am the only one in need for such function(s), it 
is undesirable to waste time on it.

I have not found an active forum for developers so I am trying this 
forum. Perhaps someone know where to post it?


I would like to have a function who finds the first or last 
occurrence of an item in a cell area.

Something like

   FIND.FIRST(B1:C20,A1) and FIND.LAST(B1:C20,A1)

where A1 contains the needle (what should be found), C1:C20 the 
search area (the heystack) and if found in C1:C20 returns the value 
of the corresponding row from B1:B20.


Also FIND.FIRST(B1:B20,A1) where the returned value is the address 
to the actual cell in B1:B20 will do.


A1 could contain a number value or something like "<5" to find the 
first occurrence of a number less than 5. Including text would be top.


What could this function be used for?
If I for example are running a shop opening at 7 in the morning with 
a few employers. (I assume the cash register is connected to Calc). 
What time of the day is the first sale? If I never sell anything 
before 10 o'clock, I could save some wages, and consider sleeping 3 
hours more in the morning. :-)
Or I could find out what day was the first rainy day in June or the 
first frosty day in the autumn the latest 20 years, or when my 
wildlife cameras first recognized an elk.


I have not found this function in other spreadsheets, so perhaps 
Calc will be the first one?


I am now using a walk around, so I am not asking for how to do this 
calculations. I am only asking for a function to do this in a 
simpler way.
