[dev] Staroffice is untidy when patching
In short, SO installs patches like a pig that craves magnetic bits. I've installed every patch since 8 came out and the last was patch 8. I decided to check the HD after it was done and it was consuming 1GB of HD space. This was ridiculous so I decided to poke my nose around to see what was going on and I found the following, 1) SO keeps old versions of files around. 2) Even though the initial install specified that I wanted the EN-US language installed, every patch installed after the initial install continues to install every single language. Cleaning results... Before - 1GB After - 330MB I recommend the following, 1) have the install script remove files that have been renamed - no point in keeping them around. 2) have the install script figure out which language is installed and ONLY install the language that the user has installed. This should be cake to implement and not doing so is a huge mistake, IMHO. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] How to repackage a OOo build?
Dear OOo developers, I've decided to write to you because I need advice from pleople having a deep knowledge about OpenOffice. I've tried to get all the information I need on my own, but unfortunately I haven't been able to do it alone. Recentely, I've posted my problem in the OpenOffice forum and, after waiting for someone to give some advice, I've been told to ask you directly. Besides, I think there is no point to paste the problem here again, so please refer to the next link for details at: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=249962#249962 Please, feel free to reply either to this email or in forum, being the latter preferred since someone else might use it in the future and get some benefit from it. Yet, both are equally welcome to me. I look forward to having some feedback from you soon. Best regards! _ Un amor, una aventura, compañía para un viaje.

Re: [dev] Build problem with --enable-cairo
Is it possible to build OpenOffice.org 2.3 with --enable-cairo in configure? I think that on Linux one is supposed to use the system cairo, not one built as part of OOo. --enable-cairo works on Windows, though. --tml - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The behaviour of officeloader.cxx in conjunction with the perftune.ini was designed only for a well defined reduced scenario not to fullfill the complete protocol. It is subject to change. The idea behind it is to fullfill the basic protocol by just using system APIs to make command line forwarding much faster (same as Novells aproach). 2.1 was not intended to be interpreted as being part of the protocol, but rather describing code that implements the protocol in a wrong way. Whatever the intended scenarios in which that code should operate, it should obviously not violate the protocol. -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, VIKAS JAIN wrote: hello, i am working on a project in which i am trying to put an another option in the SAVE AS option of OPEN OFFICE WRITER as to save as as ppt format too i.epresentation format. which means convertion DOC file into PPt file. That makes me curious. Does that mean that each page will be exported to a slide? What is the sense in doing that? And why only Powerpoint and not the ODF Presentation format? Wouldn't it make more sense to allow Impress to import Writer documents so that they can be saved as ppt file from Impress? This would give the user much more control about the result as she actually can see it before the exported file is created. Exporting slides from Writer OTOH can create quite surprising results that look very different to what the user sees. And as far as I can see implementing an import of odt files into Impress is *much* easier than writing a ppt export in Writer, thanks to ODF's application independent way of storing text (Impress just needs to ignore some parts or convert them to what fits best).

Re: [dev] OLE objects format
Many thanks, Mathias, I checked the ReplacementImages directory and ole-object images DO exist! That's fantastic! But I also found some problems that Microsoft Equation object displayed correctly in Impress while the replacement image was wrong. How these images are generated, were they just following Ariel's procedures?

Re: [dev] How to repackage a OOo build?
Hi Carlos, if you configure the OOo build with --with-package-format=installed, it won't create any rpms, but create the directory structure as it will appear on disk when the rpms got installed. You then can package the result in any way you like.
