[nasrin khaksar]

when i want to open one of it, it needs one hour and 45 minute to open.
libreoffice should can open it but in a very long time.

Well, the KDE menu uses those commands, rather than soffice and they
also work at the command line.  If I use soffice, I get LibreOffice. 
/usr/bin/libreoffice is a symlink to /lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice,
but /usr/bin/openoffice4 is a binary.

Sorry, Dave is correct.

Those actually are names of the AppData folders holding the user profile,
both programs on Windows builds use a mixed--soffice.exe launcher and
soffice.bin runtime.  

And yes they conflict when both are fully installed/configured in Windows
registry--HKCU and HKLM/Software and especially if an instance of one or the
other is running an soffice.bin process of its QuickStarter.

Neither of them currently uses soffice.  LibreOffice uses libreoffice
and OpenOffice uses openoffice4.

[libreoffice-users] Password-protected Excel file

[Dave Liesse]

Is LO capable of opening an XLSX file that has a password?  I tried it 
with v4.0 and LO thought it was a CSV file.  I just tried with v5.2.1.2 
and LO at least recognizes that there's a password but won't accept it.  
I'm sure this isn't the only client that's going to do this to me, so 
want to check on an LO solution before working it at the client end.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Trial of LibreOffice

[Girvin Herr]

Tom et al.,
I looked at this a while back and discovered that on my Slackware 
system, LO and AOO are installed into separate sub-directories in /opt, 
with symlinks in /usr/bin with different names pointing to the 
appropriate soffice.  soffice seems to be some sort of legacy name from 
the old Star Office days.  I, too, wonder why it is not changed to be 
something more unique.  However, I am not privy to the inner workings of 
these programs nor organizations.  The symlinks are an adequate work-around.

soffice
Since this would attempt to re-open the same program/suite in the same

it would all get very confusing for the poor machine.  It's possibly

So if you've not noticed that sort of thing happening then you are probably
fine.

I have both installed on both Linux and Windows.  No issues I've noticed.

No experience with that.
I do know how to get the active locale in LibreOffice, but that prolly
won't help?

That is a problem when one doesn't use the full path, when starting the
program from the command line.

In an ideal world, AOo, EO, LibO, NO,and the other variants would use a
different command.  This is something that would have to be done by the
project.
