Re: [PROPOSAL] New OOXML import framework

I can only agree with this one. We've already discussed it many times, but even the many users who prefer ODF need a good support for OOXML for interoperability, and better support for the Microsoft Office native formats is consistently in the top requests. I propose a new and unified approach that will essentially replace the current design and implementation. Sounds good. Especially the idea to be able to automatically know how much of the specification is covered will be helpful. I also propose to focus first on Impress. Its complexity regarding OOXML is less than that of Writer and Calc And this is probably good for users too. In my experience, the import of .PPTX files is the most unsatisfactory one at the moment, with many obvious deficiencies. Improving this one first would already give good results for users. I have made several experiments regarding the reading of the specification and generation of parsers and am confident that the outlined approach will work. A not-so-original question: we have another Apache project, POI, http://poi.apache.org/ that among the other things has an OOXML parser. If we are starting from scratch, why not reusing their code? And, if there are reasons for not reusing it, could we validate this roadmap with the POI developers, who are probably more familiar with OOXML parsing than the average reader of this list? First, we are not really starting from scratch. There are several components to importing OOXML files. Two important ones are the parser that reads (OO)XML streams and turns them into events for start tags, end tags, text, etc. The second part are the callbacks that are called for each of these events. This second part is the larger and more important part. I want to replace the parser but would like to migrate as much as possible of the second part callbacks as possible. Most of the work in the OOXML import/export project, however, will be spent in other areas: - Implementing features that exist in MS Office but not in OpenOffice. Examples are SmartArt shapes (for all applications). - Improve features in OpenOffice that are not working as well as they should/could. Examples are pivot tables in Calc or the slide show in Impress. - Support existing features in OpenOffice that are just not handled by the OOXML importer. Regarding POI, there are several reasons not to use it: - As said above, the existing import code is to be migrated to the new framework. The new framework should offer an interface that supports this migration. - POI is implemented in Java. - As far as I understand POI (I don't find its documentation very helpful) is more like a DOM tree with better access to its nodes then a streaming parser. That would result in lower execution speed and larger memory consumption. - OOXML / MS Office is supported up to 2007. That seems like an undesirable restriction. - The original naming (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_POI) does not imply professional development of the POI project.

Re: Reporting a problem with the OpenOffice website
Hello Joan! I have a new spread sheet for each month and between each month I insert a sheet to paste a picture to, in total I use about 25 new sheets for this project so when I go to Edit - Header/footer and type in the month of January this copies to every sheet, but what I want is January for January, February for February and so on. You have 2 options. 1) Create a page template for each month (with different headers) and assign it to the right sheets. 2) Name the sheets with the month name and insert the sheet name as field into the header.

Re: AOO 4.1 crashes by opening database using MySQL SDBC Driver
Hello Ariel! See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Notes#AOO4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues For the MacOSX version only, any extensions that are written in C++ will no longer work and be marked as disabled in the AOO extensions manager. This is because of the change of AOO from a 32-bit to a 64-bit application on MacOSX. Please report the problem to the developer of the extension. I dropped AOO 4.0.1 and installed AOO 4.1 using the same user directory. But ... and be marked as disabled in the AOO extensions manager. wasn't the case. What's wrong? My installation process, AOO 4.1 or this cited passage? And by the way: http://extensions.openoffice.org/de/project/oracle-report-builder now has gone for Mac?

When that passage was written, only the PDF import extension was taken into account, see http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/pdfimport-disabled.png I didn't try with the driver, but according to your description it isn't disabled on the Extension Manager; that's strange because the extension's description.xml has platform value=macosx_x86/ but given issue 124783 it might be broken. And by the way: http://extensions.openoffice.org/de/project/oracle-report-builder now has gone for Mac? That one is written in Java, it should run in any platform. Anyway I wouldn't recommend anyone to install that extension, it is unmaintained (like most Base stuff) and broken, see: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124063 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124470 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121222 ...

Does it mean that further AOO version will not work on older Ubuntu versions (here 10.04) because there is no GLIBC_2.15 for Ubuntu versions lesser than 12.04? No. It simply means that, since we haven't managed to have buildbots available for releases yet, we build snapshots and releases on different machines. Snapshots are built on modern systems and require a recent glibc, but releases are built on older systems and can work with an older glibc. So nothing changes as for compatibility of releases.
