Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice-Base CPU usage
Hi :) Were you using OpenJdk before? Could you test-drive the _20 and _22 to see if they are as good as the _21? A few people say that the _20 or _22 are a huge improvement on things like the _24 or onwards. I am trying to convince someone to try the _21 but he is happy enough with the _20 and thinks there wont be much better than that. Don't worry if you don't have time!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice-Base CPU usage
Hi :) Java is an unusual problem for LibreOffice. Most of the apps have either already moved away from it or are moving away fast. Java and OpenJdk are owned by Oracle. Do we have any confidence in them fixing things so that their products work better for LibreOffice? Currently the newer the release of Java the more problems there seems to be in using it in LibreOffice. I don't think there was a bug-report. There are almost no devs working on Base so posting a bug-report is not likely to yield any positive results for months, maybe years. Also if devs do start working on Base it would be good to follow the rest of the project away from java. Inevitably devs are going to have to start by fixing bugs but any work they do to fix problems with java will have been a bit of a waste of time after java is written out. It's NOT ideal for LO but we have to deal with things as they are rather than how we would like them to be. We can temporarily work-around problems by using the _21 (or _20 or _22) and by trying to encourage people to develop Base's code. The SC wants to sitwait to see if anyone happens to notice that working on Base might be a rewarding challenge. When pushed they thought it might be nice to make a questionnaire to send to people who don't need a database program to ask them what they want from a database.

As I need Java for purposes outside of LO, I will keep it for the time being.

Your web-browser might not be very happy without java. Generally i try to keep escape routes and back-up plans available = so i would just switch off java in LO so that i could switch it on again quite easily if i needed it.

As I said, I use the ODBC-connection to MySQL on Linux (and a very well working native MySQL-connection under Windows). Like I posted in another message, ODBC also has problems (such as not showing default values for columns correctly on data entry, but - since the database is actually updated correctly - this doesn't really worry me much. So, like Tom suggests: can I get completely rid of Java if I don't conciously use it in any way that an end-user or programmer could cause? That would be more than alright for me... Regards H.

[libreoffice-users] Re: LO Base 3.4.3 on Linux using ODBC
Le 16/09/11 20:44, Heinrich Stoellinger a écrit : Hi Heinrich, When I enter data into a table where some columns have a default value defined (i.e., I do NOT actually enter ANYTHING into such colums but rely on the default value) this default value is actually entered correctly into the table. However, the default value is not shown on completion of data entry. Only when selecting the tuple afterwards do I see that everything is o.k. This only happens on my Linux system. LO 3.3.4.1 Base on MS-Vista with the native MySQL-Connector does everything correctly. The native connector and the ODBC have limitations which are different (I don't remember where originally they were listed, but they were, probably when the native connector first came out or was in development). Additionally, there is a lot of buggy behaviour in current ODBC implementation with mysql from within OOo/LibO. One of the problems I remember with the ODBC connector is that OOo was unable to completely ask for all of the functionality supported by the driver, and even then, sometimes the driver incorrectly reported back to OOo what it was capable of handling. So there are several possible causes : - new bug introduced with the OOo 3.4.x branch and taken over into the LibO code ; - bug in the ODBC driver itself; - new bug just in the LibO code that affects ODBC connections. Having had problems myself with a proprietary ODBC connector on Mac, and accessing a mysql db via OOo/LibO, I tend to favour the first of the three possibilities I listed. I would report it as a bug and add it to the increasingly long list.

Hi :) In System - Preferences is there a Regionalisation or localisation option? There might be a keyboards option in there. The documentation http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/switch-languages-and-keyboard-layout suggests that Debian/Ubuntu documentation is close to what you need so it's worth looking around in that preferences folder for something that looks about right.

Hello Andreas, Thanks for your hint, but... Weird! One can in fact select MySQL as the (native) type of connection for an odb-file. However when one then tries to open the odb-file, LO displays a list-box for the specification of a programme with which to open the odb-file. Downloading the connector and then trying to activate the connector through the extension manager doesn't work either.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO Base 3.4.3 on Linux using ODBC
Hello Alex, Seems like I unfortunately cannot get rid of the Java Runtime environment. The reason is that the report-generator needs it!!! :( Regards Heinrich On Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:50:19 +0200, Alexander Thurgood alex.thurg...@gmail.com wrote: Le 16/09/11 20:44, Heinrich Stoellinger a écrit : Hi Heinrich, When I enter data into a table where some columns have a default value defined (i.e., I do NOT actually enter ANYTHING into such colums but rely on the default value) this default value is actually entered correctly into the table. However, the default value is not shown on completion of data entry. Only when selecting the tuple afterwards do I see that everything is o.k. This only happens on my Linux system. LO 3.3.4.1 Base on MS-Vista with the native MySQL-Connector does everything correctly. The native connector and the ODBC have limitations which are different (I don't remember where originally they were listed, but they were, probably when the native connector first came out or was in development). Additionally, there is a lot of buggy behaviour in current ODBC implementation with mysql from within OOo/LibO. One of the problems I remember with the ODBC connector is that OOo was unable to completely ask for all of the functionality supported by the driver, and even then, sometimes the driver incorrectly reported back to OOo what it was capable of handling. So there are several possible causes : - new bug introduced with the OOo 3.4.x branch and taken over into the LibO code ; - bug in the ODBC driver itself; - new bug just in the LibO code that affects ODBC connections. Having had problems myself with a proprietary ODBC connector on Mac, and accessing a mysql db via OOo/LibO, I tend to favour the first of the three possibilities I listed. I would report it as a bug and add it to the increasingly long list.

Re: Fwd: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice-Base CPU usage
Hi Tom, There is an old saying - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The thing I dislike most about Base is to have to open three windows to get to my form in the database. Some time ago I left a post on an Open Office forum asking if there was a way to set up a macro so I could do it in one click. There were never any replies. With Paradox or Access I was able to go to the form by just opening the program. But what I really like about Base is I just have 1 file to copy to keep my database updated on my three other computers. When I say if it ain't broken, don't fix it, I've never had one issue using Base. It has worked very well for me over a long period (7 or 8 years) of time. There are few programs I've ever used that have had that kind of dependability. Don On 09/17/2011 06:30 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Thanks Don.

I am using ver 3.3.4, it works fine. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Table-macro-problem-in-3-4-2-tp3218300p3345463.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

In Windows 7 (and it may have been the case in Vista) the option hide extensions for known file types is turned ON by DEFAULT so when the user of Office 2007/2010 creates a document, all they see in the title is the name of the document, not the extension so they don't even KNOW that the default document types are .???x at all. Plenty of posts in the MS Office forums of the type: I just bought Office 2007/2010 and my recipients (i.e. those using 2003 or prior who have NOT installed the compatibility pack) can't open documents I send them. Why? I don't quite know how that is got around... For any Windows users (XP thru 7) who cannot see their file extensions: 1. Open Windows Explorer ([WindowsLogo]+[e]) 2. Click [Tools], then [Folder Options], then [View] 3. Uncheck the box beside Hide extensions for known file types That feature is one of the stupidest things Microsoft has ever come up with. Ever since Windows XP introduced it, disabling it is the first thing I do to any computer.

The thing I dislike most about Base is to have to open three windows to get to my form in the database. Some time ago I left a post on an Open Office forum asking if there was a way to set up a macro so I could do it in one click. There were never any replies. With Paradox or Access I was able to go to the form by just opening the program. But what I really like about Base is I just have 1 file to copy to keep my database updated on my three other computers. When I say if it ain't broken, don't fix it, I've never had one issue using Base. It has worked very well for me over a long period (7 or 8 years) of time. There are few programs I've ever used that have had that kind of dependability. Don On 09/17/2011 06:30 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Thanks Don.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: docx format troubles
It's very true that 80% of people only use 20% of the program. The problem is that my 20% is not your 20%. Now, if you could do in-depth tracking of thousands of random users, you might be able to isolate a certain set of features that almost nobody uses. Then those features could be removed if doing so would make enough difference (in performance or in resources used) to make it worth the effort. -- Tim Deaton On 9/17/2011 8:40 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I really like that idea a lot but i have been told it's unfeasable.

Re: [libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as Sanskrit?
Tom, I fixed the problem about typing in Devanagari/Devanaagarii (the alphabet of Hindi and Sanskrit) in Writer on Linux. Thank you.

I followed the messages below from elcico2001 and webmaster for Kracked Press Productions about installing Sanskrit 2003 and changing preferences. Trisquel 4.5.1 is a little different from what elcico2001 wrote---instead of a Disposition tab, there is a Layouts tab. I went to the following places: System Preferences Keyboard Layouts (tab) Add (button) By language (tab) Language (drop-down list) Hindi. On the GNOME panel at the bottom of my desktop, there are two keyboard icons, one with an earth (Keyboard preferences), and one without (IBus input method framework). Right-clicking the icon without an earth gives a menu with radio buttons for USA and India Hindi Bolnagri. When I chose India Hindi Bolnagri, I was able to type Devanaagarii (Hindi, Sanskrit) in Writer. @soumalya ray, @Tom Davies: Trisquel 4.5.1 has System Preferences, but no Language.

This means that LO needs to cover about 75 - 85% of the features as a minimum to cover the user base. You will find users who will use one or two components almost exclusively and very rarely use the others. For example I use Writer and Calc extensively, Base occasionally, and almost never use Impress or Draw. I'd like comments on this idea.
