.*(c) looks like a regular expression. I don't know exactly what the 
interpretation of it is when doing autocorrection but I would suspect that 
these should also be deleted.

Well, I deleted the .*(c) from ALL German variants too.
Now, there is NOWHERE  in the languages I use (English, Japanese, 
German) any such entry as (c),

but LO is still throwing the copyright mark at me.

This cannot be right.

[libreoffice-users] any VLC Media users - enlarging view

[charles meyer]

Hi Folks,

I Googled the query - VLC Media Player - enlarge video - and found...

"There is no zoom feature in VLC Media Player but you can press the
“control” button on the keyboard and then “E” to have the effects
window open. Proceed to the tab for “video effects” and lookout for
the “interactive zoom” icon."

That didn't work in my VLC Media Player.

So, I watched a YouTube video where they advised you click on the
Extended Settings icon and then Video Settings, then Geometry and
click the Interactive zoom but that just creates a small window of
that video in the upper left of the screen.

Has anyone found a zoom solution for version 2.2.1?

Thanks so much.

Charles.

[libreoffice-users] RE: A toolbar option that makes it easier to type using unicode

[CVAlkan]

Hi Jonathon:

I agree with almost everything you say, but am not sure about "More
languages use the Latin Writing System, than any other writing system. By
that criteria, it is normal." First, I wasn't really intending to use the
word "normal" in that context; it was more intended to reflect "the assumed
default" or something similar. Latin/English needs to be present, of course,
in any computer system for obvious reasons. But wouldn't the phrase "more
languages" be more suitably replaced by "more people?" Not disagreeing with
you - just food for thought. In any case, I guess my real point was that
oodles (technical term) of folks don't use Latin script in their day-to-day
writings and any hurdles they need to jump through annoy me just from an
architectural/design point. I realize that not everyone mixes scripts in the
same document, but it just seems to me that if I can do that in GEdit or
Kate with no yelling and screaming, I feel annoyed when Writer (and most
other word processors) seems to get in the way.

And you are certainly correct that I should have used the term "Unicode
Range."

From my  own (admittedly very brief) exposure to Vietnamese, I ended up with
the impression that use of ideographs pretty much died a few centuries ago -
being replaced by the awful quốc ngữ quasi-Latin script (Cyril and Methodius
did a much better job adapting Greek script to serve or their Russian
missionary work - a script now called Cyrllic - one can only assume
Methodius wasn't the main driving force).

I am a big believer in styles, but the idea of having separate styles for
separate attributes is fine, having to multiply that number by the number of
scripts in use within a document just smacks of Rube Goldberg - there's got
to be a better way. I'm just sorry I'm old enough that I might never see
such a solution. I guess that's why I simply don't like the whole CTL idea.
Your own example of the five systems for Japanese seems to me to acknowledge
at least the idea that we're still seeking the common denominator.

But, keep up your efforts ...

Frank

Re: [libreoffice-users] ERROR The requested operation requires elevation. Help please?

[anne-ology]

   Sounds to me as if you've either uncovered a bug or contracted some
virus,
  therefore, I would suggest:

   (1) if a bug, then revert back to a previous version before this
occured;

   (2) if a virus, then run the various A-V programs until your system
is again clean.

   Meanwhile, go behind-the-scenes to the LO file-folder;
  gather all your data;
 save this elsewhere for safe keeping.

   Hoping this helps,

To: users@global.libreoffice.org


Hi all.
Every time I try and open a document from my Hard Drive to Libre Office I
get the following Error window.
ERROR  The requested operation requires elevation.
This has been happening for the last week or so. It coincided with Libre
Office asking to make changes to my computer whenever I tried to start the
program and it won't start unless I say 'YES'.
Any document that is in the 'recent documents' option in the program itself
will open, but nothing else.
I have deleted and re-installed Libre Office and still no difference.
Can anyone help and let me know how to fix this issue? I have many
extremely important business documents I can no longer access.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Greg.

Technically, that is one CTL per style.

IMNSHO, what should be done, is to eliminate the CTL, CJKV, Western
Script differentiation, in favour of one language and one writing system
per style. (Japanese, with five different writing systems, would be an
obvious exception. Even then, there would eight listings for Japanese
---  Braille, Combined, Katakana, Hiragana, Kanji, Romanji, Emoji, and
arguably, hentaigana. )

How good or bad the CTL facility is, literally depends upon the writing
system that one is using.

If you are defining plane the same way that the Unicode Consortium does,
then less than a dozen fonts contain most of the glyphs in one plane.

OTOH, if by "plane", you mean "Unicode Range", then the number of fonts
that support most of the glyphs within that range increases
significantly. The caveat is that CJKV fonts are language orientated,
not writing system orientated. (Rephrasing, a font for Japanese won't
work for Chinese, and neither will work for Vietnamese.)

More languages use the Latin Writing System, than any other writing
system. By that criteria, it is normal.

It probably is too late to get the Unicode Consortium to implement CJKV
correctly. Ditto for Indus Valley writing systems.

1,000 glyphs, and any ideograph in CJKV could be constructed correctly,
according to the dictates of the language it was being used for,
regardless of how archaic or rare said ideograph is. The downside is
that people would have to know how to correctly write the ideograph.

No.

Double-click on the chart background to select it. Right-click on any 
point (or a trend line) and select "Data Ranges"

Instead of clearing out a previous sheet, why not create a template and
use that to create a new sheet each year?  At the very least, you could
create a blank sheet and copy it to the current year.
