The problem with this option is that comments disappear *completely*, which increase the risk of deleting a note by accident. KG01 - The system should avoid deleting hidden elements. Should the system try to delete content which includes a hidden comment, we should inform the user of the consequence of the action, and provide a way to quickly review the comment, in context, and give them options on how to proceed. Options could include 1) delete content and comment, 2) delete content and push comment to cursor location 3) or cancel action. I agree this can be a usability problem. So I think there are two point that can be considered: 1- Set by default the option of viewing note anchors even when view comments is disabled. KG01 - View option for common objects could be simplified. With some task pane toolbar view options (clipart gallery, navigator, etc) moving to sidebar task pane, we could push a high frequency view options command (dropdown) to the main toolbar. Where one click on/off could control view options, such as comments. This makes sense, but then we would have to add an option at least in Tools - Options - Writer - View to hide comment anchors too (and it would have to be active only if Comments in unset... not very friendly). 2- Make note anchor show a tooltip with the note content, the same way footnote anchors show footnote content when hover over it, but of course only when view comment is disable. KG01 - we could explore user friendly action tool bars as a way to reveal comments. This would work, but the user wouldn't get rid of comments completely. He would still see the anchor and I don't know how annoying this would be. KG01 - I'll add this to the ux backlog. This is an area where we should sketch out some concepts, then socialize for feedback. Definitely a good question for UX! KG - Yup. Keep 'em coming :) Regards, Andrea. While you're thinking about visibility, please think about bookmarks. Totally invisible, very deletable, combination undesirable. /tj/

Re: [proposal]: Enhance visualisation of Handles

I know handles and how they look is a question of taste; I tried to carefully alter them and did not take away any existiong options (two sets, two sizes to choose from, plus HighContrast). To take a look, follow the link to find the things I changed and the bitmaps in the files referenced there. P.S.: I actually used Draw and it's 3D engine to create the handles before scaling them down in a bitmap program, it's all in there :-) -- ALG I have comitted this now, mainly that all get the chance to have a look and play around with it. Please do not hesitate when you see negative effects or something that needs to be re-evaluated. Comitting it does not mean it's the end of the story :-) For the worst case, svn *is* a time machine. I (still) hope that the handles which are more pleasing to the eye find mostly everyones liking. I was very careful, the change is moderate. Just take a look first ;-) The buildbot version has it now and I tried it. The transparency for the anchor icon is really a large improvement. And the handles have a good compromise between brightness and transparency. The draw center and mirror axis markers are visible in front of dark backgrounds too. So I think, well done. :) Kind regards Regina

[question] draw...
Hi. I have to make some 3D construction drawings, I tried to use draw, but is seems that the 3D functionality is very limited ?? What I would like to was to create a half ball out of a circle (a dome for an astromony observatory, a hobby of mine, when I do not work on MWIKI or l10n), and then add some cutting lines etc, for a mechanic to follow. Am I wrong or is the 3D support limited to presentation and not really fit for drawing (in case not is there any work in progress) ? In case not, can anybody recommend a good tool, where I can import the files in AOO and write the documents. I know this is a developer list and not a customer support list, but I hope anyhow that somehow can give me a hint where to continue. thanks in advance. Jan I.

[WEBSITE] Problem with .htm files
I had a long discussion with Infra today trying to find out why a change I had applied was not appearing. Analyzing it, it turns out that we have a problem already visible on over 400 pages and related to .htm files (as opposed to .html files). Reproducing is easy: 1) Edit a .htm file, e.g., do this: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/pt/about/newsletter.htm?r1=1413471r2=1422592diff_format=h 2) Publish the changes and you get file duplication: http://www.openoffice.org/pt/about/newsletter.htm (the existing URL, ending in .htm, not updated) http://www.openoffice.org/pt/about/newsletter.html (a new URL, containing the fix) This silent change of URLs is quite scary and we already have 401 duplicate pages. For other examples see http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Documentation/liens.htm http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Documentation/liens.html or http://www.openoffice.org/ui/proposals/Readonly_mode.htm http://www.openoffice.org/ui/proposals/Readonly_mode.html Daniel Shahaf, who investigated the problem, suggests that we take a look at our path.pm. Looking at it, I think the place to start investigating is line 14 of http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/lib/path.pm?revision=1413471view=markup which seems to actually turn .htm files into .html files, but it's probably best that someone familiar with the CMS does the change, since I definitely don't want to break the website.

Re: AOO trunk build fails with HSQLDB
I use ubuntu (12.04 server and 12.10 desktop) and have no problem building trunk, branches/l10n. I use the following conf call: ./configure \ --with-dmake-url= http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 \ --with-epm-url=http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/epm/3.7/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz\ --disable-odk \ --disable-binfilter \ --enable-wiki-publisher \ --with-lang=da (also with --with-lang). I have not changed any java setup, actually I just installed the 12.10 yesterday, so it is fresh out of the box. I had a problem with sysui and permission,but I committed a change to build a while ago. java is version 1.7.0_09 OpenJDK runtime (IcedTea 2.3.3) OpenJDK 64bit server build 23-2-b09 I just had another build all this evening which just completed.

In case not, can anybody recommend a good tool, where I can import the files in AOO and write the documents. What part of AOO you want to use? If you will use Writer, then the 3D-application should be able to export to pictures. If you will produce a presentation in Impress, then Flash might work as well, you can use the Flash plugin. I actually just need draw...I have to make a drawing of a dome, made of triangels. That will only work using macros, because the rotation does not use triangles and extrusion will not generate a half sphere. You would have to place each triangle individually and that is practically nearly impossible with the current UI. So my idea was to take a half sphere and draw lines on it...in 3Dmax that is a piece of cake, because you work in 2d with X,Y,Z planes and it generates the 3d object. Therefore I ask what do you want to do with the result. If it will become a picture in the target, why not using 3Dmax? Drawing 3D-lines will be hard; using hatching or picture texture might be easier. But if it was easy in 3Dmax, I would use that application. Kind regards Regina
Re: [WEBSITE] Problem with .htm files
On Sun, Dec 16, 2012 at 2:47 PM, Andrea Pescetti pesce...@apache.org wrote: I had a long discussion with Infra today trying to find out why a change I had applied was not appearing. Analyzing it, it turns out that we have a problem already visible on over 400 pages and related to .htm files (as opposed to .html files). Reproducing is easy: 1) Edit a .htm file, e.g., do this: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/pt/about/newsletter.htm?r1=1413471r2=1422592diff_format=h 2) Publish the changes and you get file duplication: http://www.openoffice.org/pt/about/newsletter.htm (the existing URL, ending in .htm, not updated) http://www.openoffice.org/pt/about/newsletter.html (a new URL, containing the fix) This silent change of URLs is quite scary and we already have 401 duplicate pages. For other examples see http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Documentation/liens.htm http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Documentation/liens.html When I build locally I see that input htm files are published as html files. But I don't see any duplications. Maybe the duplicates are just left over from earlier? or http://www.openoffice.org/ui/proposals/Readonly_mode.htm http://www.openoffice.org/ui/proposals/Readonly_mode.html Daniel Shahaf, who investigated the problem, suggests that we take a look at our path.pm. Looking at it, I think the place to start investigating is line 14 of http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/lib/path.pm?revision=1413471view=markup which seems to actually turn .htm files into .html files, but it's probably best that someone familiar with the CMS does the change, since I definitely don't want to break the website.

Re: AOO trunk build fails with HSQLDB
Ariel, removing all JDK7 worked! Heck yes.

In theory you can use javac from JDF 7 to compile old code, and even target to an older JVM, as javac has the -source and -target options, but I've no idea if the HSQLDB ant scripts has this options set (ant's javac task supports both source and target attributes).

This may break your system, at least it does in Fedora, where all java stuff is built with Java 7, targeted to a JVM 7. The best thing is to download a JDK 6 from Oracle, install it in /opt and configure --with-jdk-home, this way you don't break your system.

If you removed everything from JDK7, then run ./configure again so that it updates LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh If it still fails, make sure to explicitly point to the JDK directory configuring with --with-jdk-home Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina pgpJQAW07998S.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [WEBSITE] Problem with .htm files
Dave Fisher wrote: I think that we can purge these *.htm duplicates, but if we do it will be a sledgehammer build. It will also be a problem, unless we accompany it with other changes: for example, http://www.openoffice.org/pt/ would completely break, and all external sites that now link to some of our .htm files would break too. It was intentional. Before doing so we would need to make a group decision about how to treat the two types of files. Regardless of what templates we apply, the best solution should: 1) Allow a .htaccess redirect/rewrite from .htm to .html (to preserve existing internal and external links) 2) Have the SVN file names match the URLs: editing a file named news.htm in SVN should not result in a change in a page with URL .../news.html. The current handling confuses the CMS too (for example, no diff is reported). So either we mass-rename files from .htm to .html and rely on 1) above, or we don't change .htm to .html but publish .htm URLs. There are two different procedures from view.pm used: ... There are several templates used from templates/. To me, .htm and .html are not different file types and were never used as such: I mean, volunteers historically committed .htm or .html according to their habits, but it doesn't make sense to have different ways of handling them now. So I would tend to rename all .htm to .html and put the .htaccess redirect in place, and have only one type of HTML files to handle. Regards, Andrea.

Re: [Blog Draft] Update about Apache Asia Road Show Beijing 2012 @Dec 13
Hi, all, I just want to give you an update that we had a successful Apache OpenOffice session last Thursday (Dec 13) on Apache Asia Road Show 2012 Beijing. Thanks to Peter, Tao and Da Li for the speech! The topics covered AOO general introduction, contributions from local volunteers, how to join community and make contribution, and building social/cloud solutions by integrating with AOO. We also distributed AOO promotion materials that prepared by Da Li. We got more than 100 audience participated in the OpenOffice session 14:00-15:00. Most of them are technical people from different companies and universities. Per my check during my speech, only 20 had used OpenOffice before. So it is really a good promotion of our product and community. We are refining the presentations and will publish them later. Thanks! - Shenfeng (Simon) 2012/12/5 Peter Junge peter.ju...@gmx.org OK.
