Re: [api-dev] OO3 makes files unusable when you work(some changes, save/resave, close/reopen) on them directly from the samba share.
Hi Aleksandar, in the link you have posted https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/411248 it is mentioned that this is a Samba problem, that is solved by degrading the Samba version in Ubuntu. OOo has this problem reported in the following issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104122 Till now there is no information there that the problem is caused by the OOo. The corruption you describe happens usually when a file becomes smaller after storing and the truncation does not work. OOo truncates definitely the file before writing ( otherwise we had the problem everywhere ), so it looks like Samba implementation indeed has a problem. Anyway, it is solved ( workarounded ) in Ubuntu already. Hope that helps. Best regards, Mikhail. On 02/24/10 20:37, Aleksandar Petrinic wrote: Hi to all. I wrote this mail because I really need help. There is a company that used openoffice for a long time. A week ago we implemented samba server to share documents between people. Long story short... OpenOffice3(on windows) doesn't open file through network resources, but I solved by mapping network drive with a unit. (anyway,this is an already know bug). The real bug that prevent us to use openoffice in the company(on windows) is that quite often the opened file (from the share), after some changes (and a save), become unusable. The OO says nothing about that, but after a save, if anyone try to re-open the file, it's unusable. I saw that OO adds some garbage at the end of file... I googled a lot, but it seems it's already a know problem; unfortunately I don't find the solution/workaround (of course I can copy the file on local pc, then work on it and then finally copy it to the shares, but this is not a solution, I can't tell ~30 people to work in this way for every file they need to change). P.s. the problem not always shows up with the small files. P.s.s. I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/411248 it seems to me it could be releated. I really need to find a solution for this. Any advice is really apreciated.

[api-dev] Extensions
To whomever this may concern: My name is Pritha Multani, and I am a student at Troy High School. I am currently enrolled in a computer science class, and I am required to complete an open source project. The only language I am familiar with is Java, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to help with improving Writer's compare function as an extension. If not, I was also wondering if you had any idea of what other tasks were available to me that might be more within my reach. If you could please get back to me as soon as possible, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much! Pritha Multani
[api-dev] Help to create MACRO
Hi! I have one FIRST sheet, which is still updated through Link to External data every 20 minutes. I need MACRO, which: 1. Every 20 minutes create NEW Sheet 1(New Sheet 2, New Sheet 3 etc...), and then copy data into NEW Sheet 1(2,3,4...) from FIRST sheet. Thanks a lot!
