Re: [dev] How to build openoffice.org-debian-menus?

 When I build OOo I get the debs for OOo itself, but

 built? Calling dmake in sysui/desktop/debian doesn't work.

It is only built with the right options set.

That's why I need to do the following in debian/rules for the official
Debian package (we base on -debian-menus' contents)

# DPKG is only set on with-EPM build what we don't do and the menu 
stuff# is only built wenn DPKG is set.. Same with PKGFORMAT.
cd $(SOURCE_TREE)/sysui; \
. $(CURDIR)/$(SOURCE_TREE)/*.sh; \
PATH=$(BUILD_PATH) DPKG=dpkg PKGFORMAT=deb 
NO_PKG_MANGLE=go-away \
../solenv/bin/build.pl  ../solenv/bin/deliver.pl

Unless you build on Debian (and build with EPM) DPKG is not set and
PKGFORMAT does most probably not contain deb either. Set them and it should
work when you run build in sysui.

[ NO_PKG_MANGLE is not relevant here ]

As I assume that you are aming for a localization I would like to
redirect you to our Native Language Project. Please send your mail to
dev@native-lang.openoffice.org and you will get all the support you
need. Someone wrote there in September last year that Urdu localization
is mostly done. He pointed to

Re: [dev] File | Open default file type

Allen Pulsifer wrote:

 An alternate suggestion (if it is easier) is have File | Open default to
 All documents rather than All Files (*.*).  The reason is that novice
 users are clicking on document types such as .pdf's and getting a confusing
 error message.  OOo should not by default list unsupported document types in
 the File | Open dialog.
 
 This suggestion was entered as
 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74295

For me the biggest problem with this approach is that OOo supports quite
a lot of file types with a lot of different extensions. It can be
confusing to show *.* (you can't show all supported extensions here)
but display only some of the files.

Perhaps the problem can be solved by providing a better error message.
Something like OOo does not support this file type. Please try to open
the file from your desktop or something else.

Mathias

[dev] datamatrix 2d barcodes for Calc

2007-02-09 Thread Alessandro Zummo

 Hello,

   I'm planning to write a plugin for Calc to draw
  DataMatrix 2D barcodes.

   I'm new in writing plugins, so I would like
 to ask if someone can help in dealing with the
 interfacing with OO while I can write the barcode
 handling code.

   If things goes well, support for other
 1D and 2D barcode symbologies will be added.

This is a support list, so you might get answers from a couple fo people.

 *OpenOffice does not have a grammar checker right? even in english is that

There are a couple, but they are all third party add ons.

The FLOSS ones were designed for Linux.
The commercial ones are either Windows only, or cross platform.
