Re: Data recovery
Is the extension of the file .odt? If not change it and open with open office. Howard Hello Dev I over wrote a very important document that was on a USB drive. This document that I am trying to retrieve is 122 pages long...I previously saved 117 pages of this document but there are 5 pages that I am trying to recover. I wrote this document using openoffice4.0.0 on my HP pc using windows 7. I used recovery software to find the data but when I try to retrieve it, it is in raw data symbols and not in English. I have been unable to convert this data to English. I can see the dates of my additions to this document and have saved all of this data. Is there a way that I can convert this into English? Thank you Burt
Re: Configure?
If you mean autoconf, probably the autoconf manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/index.html If you mean our particular configure script's options, they're all over the place. Our build guide and the build category on our wiki are good places to start.

Outside of OpenOffice, rename it to type .zip. Then use the system archive manager to open it (usually a double click on the .zip file will do so). If it opens, extract content.xml and your content will be there, unformatted. You can view content.xml using a plain text editor, or an XML editor or often your system browser. If the file does not open with the archiver you may be able to recover it using methods for repairing damaged .zip files (I am not aware of specifics for your operating system - Google is your friend), but it is likely that such a damaged file will be irreparable or, if repaired, contain only part of the original content. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Proposed Calc "Find & Replace" dialog enhancements
Hi
Recently I fixed a bad 9 year old bug #60307 with at least 6 duplicates
[and still broken in at least LO 4.2.8.2 :-)], now allowing searching for
cells by the value displayed after formatting (eg. 30/11/2015 formatted
into "30 November 2015" can be found when you search for "November" with
"Search in" set to "Values"). Also through repeated failures until I copied
how Writer already does it, today also fixed #35093, an infamous 11 year
old 15 vote issue in Calc ("Current selection only" should automatically be
checked if the "Find & Replace" dialog is opened with cells already
selected; since users expect this from other spreadsheets and the option is
invisible by default, it can cause wrong cells to change when doing
"Replace").
Now I am wondering what other enhancements to that dialog would be good to
make while it's fresh in my mind. Some ideas from Bugzilla:
Visibility of options. In a comment on #87032 it is suggested the dialog
should always be expanded so all options are visible, but #39453 is all
about trying to shrink it as it hides cells under it. #39453 was filed in
2004 when monitors were smaller and had lower resolutions, so dialog size
mattered more, but small devices are becoming ubiquitous today too. If the
dialog should remain expandable, which options should be visible with it
contracted? Comments in #35093 propose including "Current selection only"
and "Regular expressions", although I think the "Search in" is far more
commonly used than "Regular expressions".
Search in what? #106857 wants the default to be "Values" instead of the
current "Formulas", but Excel (2007) uses "Formulas", so it might surprise
users even though it is more natural.
Columns or rows? #106857 again wants "Columns" as default even though Excel
(2007) has rows.
Use the value of the cell under the cursor as the find text? #73544 asks
for this. Calc currently uses the last value searched for instead, as does
Excel (2007). Instead of the cell under the cursor, we could use a single
selected cell instead: it is rather hard to select only 1 cell by accident
(with the cursor on it, you have to Ctrl+Click it or Shift+Right+Left), and
you wouldn't need to search just 1 cell, so I think it's safe to treat a
single selected cell as the find text. Another AOO innovation?
Selection during the dialog? If cells are selected during the dialog,
should we automatically check the "Current selection only" box? We
currently uncheck it and gray it out if cells are deselected during the
dialog, but only enable it without checking it if cells are selected again.
Excel (2007) doesn't even have this option: if cells are selected only they
will be searched/replaced, if no cells are selected all will be. If we want
to copy Excel's behaviour then we should check it on reselection. But
Writer doesn't do that for multi-line text selections either, so it should
probably be changed too (and other apps?).
Any other proposals? Should we ask our current users what they want (how?)?
Thank you
Damjan
Re: Reporting broken download link
I don't know why there needs to be a firewall rule for downloading this software. I would expect that every Internet traffic via port 80 is activated. Here are 2 things that may could help: - You could try to download at different time points. - Also to choose a different mirror server [1] could help. Make your reload the download page after choosing a different mirror than "Auto-select". Otherwise you can ask your system admin for help. As it seems to be a special case here it could be a good help. I know that the download is working at this moment. So, I'm sorry but I think we cannot help here in a concrete way.

Upgrade to OS X El Capitan causing configure to fail
Hi, I recently upgraded to OS X El Capitan and I ran the configure command again, since now the shell script to set up environment variables would be outdated, and I get the following output at the end of the configure process: checking checking SDK compatibility with OSX 10.7... configure: error: No SDK with OSX 10.7 compatibility found Is there a way I can disable this SDK compatibility check until support is added for OS X 10.11? Thanks Jatin
Re: r1712824 withdrawn by committer.
Hi Davide and Dave; Just to clarify, withdrawing a change is not generally something that is viable. and this doesn’t seem to be the case of someone changing it’s mind about contributing. What appears to have happened is that the author doesn’t own the code he wrote. This is standard industry practice, especially if you got paid to develop the code originally. Reverting the change was absolutely the right thing to do. FWIW, I have huge experience sharing code under multiple licenses and normally companies will take hints from the original developers and do what’s best for their interests. Sharing code usually makes sense especially when you are already consuming a lot of code from the general pool. In this case, not sharing some bug fixes doesn’t really help either project. It’s a perfectly legal choice but not one that is in any way in the spirit of opensource. IMHO. This type of attitude also backfires, and is the main reason why you didn’t see many contributions from me until just before the AOO release.

Re: r1712824 withdrawn by committer.
The question is: can a committer revoke the Apache License from a contribute? I expect yes, but it still can be used, because revocation should apply for the future and not for the past.

The truth is that the practice of draining contributions from the competition by whatever means is the type of dirtiness that free software was meant to fight. Of course the FSF is also against AOO from the start so we will not get any sympathy there. Let me state this openly for those unaware: there are dark powers in play that want Apache OpenOffice as a project, as a product, and as a community to fail. It is not a coincidence that a redhat employee was openly asking to kill this project (for some issue with his mom - really). In this case, the contest, if someone still looks at it like that, is not about who has a better license/policy or about the capacity of the ASF to nurture and sustain big projects: this was always about deep pockets wanting to control a product.
