Possible broken link: Checksums

2014-11-05 Thread Digi Dragon

Hi,

On the hash help page, the hash tabs links are broken (404 errors.) 
and the File Checksum Tool (aka hashtool.exe) will not download (my 
system blocks it as containing either a virus or spyware - I'm running 
both Spybot 2, and Comodo)

Almost certainly these are false positives.  Comodo has frequently been noted 
as causing crashing problems with OpenOffice.

[Pootle] Lost in translation

2014-11-05 Thread FR web forum
Hello dev team,
On Pootle, in sd/source/ui/accessibility.po
We find some strange strings like:
accessibility.src#SID_SD_A11Y_P_NOTES_D.string.text / PresentationNotesShape
accessibility.src#SID_SD_A11Y_P_UNKNOWN_N.string.text / 
UnknownAccessiblePresentationShape
etc
Could you check it?

what would be a good requirement, I dont think AOO has escalate it's
memory demand since 3.0. I think performance still more or less the
same. But feel free to run some benchmarks. I am sure a Virtualmachine
can emulate 512 environments.

My Netbook (512 MB) ran AOO 4.0 decently, I dont think it would have
been that different with 256 RAM.

I think a friend also has a RaspberryPi (512 MB) and run AOO decently,
is not the fastest but is workable.

These are supposed to be the minimal system requirements. Sure, most 
people will run OpenOffice on a newer Windows version and with much more 
RAM than that (and the same for Linux: most users will run it on a much 
newer kernel).


But if OpenOffice runs on Windows XP and with 256 MBytes of RAM then 
this should be the information listed there. no matter what the 
Microsoft policy is.


I wonder though whether we should update the recommended RAM 
requirements. Have there been any reasons/assumptions in recent version 
that would justify a higher recommended value, like 1 GByte or more?

XP has reached end of life, but does this mean we should update this? If we
remove it and people are still using XP, then we'll get questions about it.
We might want to make a note about the official end of life on this OS,
however.

A value of at least 512M for RAM might be in order. Does this 256M imply
*free* memory as opposed to total?

In summary, maybe leave the Win XP, but clarify the RAM.

right, removing would produce more confusion because AOO 4.x stil lruns 
on XP even when we don't do any active fixing for it. What about to add

We don't need that. Windows XP exists. OpenOffice runs on it. Done. Our 
site is already too verbose in many other respects, it is not our task 
to warn XP users that Microsoft is not giving them support any longer.



I think when we write the following it should be clear and current enough:
Free memory of 256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)


This is a good improvement to the text.
