[dev] PresentationClock
Hi folks, I've written a little program in C to use in combination with Impress that will help presenters keep track of time. Here's an excerpt from the README (I'm also attaching a screenshot with this message): I wrote this software to solve a little problem I've always had when making presentations with either OpenOffice Impress or MS PowerPoint, namely how to keep track of time. Sure, these programs have an option to automatically advance slides based on some previous rehersal timing but I find that completely useless. What I wanted to have is a way to time the whole presentation with a simple visual aid to tell me whether I'm on track, behind or ahead of schedule. This is exactly what PresentationClock does. Basically there are two modes of operation. In the record mode, PresentationClock will track the timing of your rehersal. Then during the actual presentation it will display a little clock showing if you're behind or ahead of schedule and by how much. I find this feature extremely useful in my work. The source code and an executable can be found in: http://download.hao.ucar.edu/pub/navarro/PresentationClock/ Best regards, Hector -- Hector Socas-Navarro High Altitude Observatory 3080 Center Green Dr (CG-1), Boulder CO 80301 (USA) Phone: 303 497 1543, Fax: 303 497 2180, E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:23:21 +0200 From: Rony G. Flatscher, VP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi there, since this week theOpen Office Snippets for the module impress (presentation module of OpenOffice.org) are available via the official OOo Snippet page at http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Impress/ooRexx.xml. As the Rexx syntax is like pseudo-code the snippets (little nutshell programs that stress a particular aspect of programming the module) can be easily understood. The interfacing is carried out using OOo's Java interfaces (using BSF4Rexx), therefore these code examples would also be usable directly for Java as well. The snippets possess links to the official OOo IDL documentation, which allows to research the API environment of the snippet. All of these snippets were created in the course of a seminar paper at the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Austria, Europe) and the paper is therefore available (in English) in form of a PDF file: http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/BakkStuff/2007/200706_Gundacker/OOoImpress_GundackerDominik.pdf. All of the snippets are available as a single zip-archive from that site as well: http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/BakkStuff/2007/200706_Gundacker/OOoImpress_macros_GundackerDominik.zip.

Re: [dev] OOo_2.3.0rc2_20070905 and Scripting Framework: were there any changes there ?
Hi Jürgen, yes, the way how extensions are loaded has changed a little bit. Related to this change the search of dependent jar becomes more important. Extensions are now loaded with their own classloader and you have to specify dependent jars in the manifest file of your extension jar. I see! I can assume that in your case your ext jar depends on some scripting framework jars and that they are not found automatically. As I am using the OOo scripting framework itself there is the dependeny to program/classes/ScriptFramework.jar, which is OOo's stock scripting framework. Sounds like a problem and we have to think about it. I am only guessing but it seems that we need something special handling for this kind of scripting extensions. Well, if the class loader honors all OOo supplied jars (i.e. all jars in the classes subdirectory) as previously, then this would not be a problem. How would I state OOo deployed jars in the manifest file (i.e. to point to program/classes/ScriptFramework.jar wherever the program dir resides on a filesystem? (Sorry, if this is a rooky question, but I have not stumbled over that yet, or my memory fades already... ;) ) you should submit an issue for that problem. Should I assign it to someone already? Thanks! ---rony P.S.: As a sidenote: it would be possible with the help of Apache's upcoming BSF 3.0 (in beta at the moment) to employ javax.script (introduced with Java 6) on earlier versions of Java (BSF 3.0 is compiled for Java 4). This would have the benefit that the number of usable scripting languages for OOo would be enhanced tremendeously. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Rony, Rony G. Flatscher wrote: Hi there, just installed RC2 and a scripting language extension for ooRexx (ScriptProviderForooRexx.jar) which was built for earlier versions of OOo (2.1, 2.2) and which works fine there. Installing it with the Extension Manger and alternatively with unopkg (either command line or with the gui option) brings up the following error message: Can not activate the factory for com.sun.star.script.framework.provider.oorexx.ScriptProviderForooRexx$_ScriptProviderForooRexx because java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/star/script/framework/provider/ScriptProvider Closing all instances of OOo (also with a reboot) will always show ooRexx as an option on the Macro... menu item, but it is not possible to create, load or run ooRexx scripts. As nothing has changed in the script provider jar for ooRexx (it works on earlier versions) I was wondering whether there were any changes for OOo 2.3 in the Scripting framework area or in the way jars are found. yes, the way how extensions are loaded has changed a little bit.

Well, if the class loader honors all OOo supplied jars (i.e. all jars in the classes subdirectory) as previously, then this would not be a problem. i don't remember the exact reason to use only a subset but i assume it was to start with a minimal set of necessary UNO jar files only instead of using all files which are most often never used or necessary. Maybe we can add the scripting framework jar as a first solution and can think about a better solution later.

[dev] Building OOo on XP: Problems running ./configure
Hello I found the following line in malling list I've now tested to run set_soenv separately as well, and found that the failing line is: $platform = `../solenv/bin/config.guess`; Running ../solenv/bin/config.guess from the same directory works. Is there a problem with my shell? Adding the line: print (`pwd`); tells me that the path is inside config_office. Is there something wrong with the attributes? $ ls -l ../solenv/bin/config.guess -rwx--x--x+ 1 Admin Ingen 43458 Mar 7 2005 ../solenv/bin/config.guess I think it is very strange I'm facing the same problem '..' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
