Dear Developers! Please take a look at issue #33851! Can you help us to finish specification of behaviour Calc at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc/Drafts/Issue_33851 ? It seems we (users) cannot finish specification correctly. :-( The autofilters is very important for our organization.

[dev] How do I use the API to insert fields and change font size in a spreadsheet footer
I want my program to control spreadsheet footer contents. In particular I want to be able to set the font size and use PageNumber and PageCount fields. If I use the scalc GUI to set the footer contents and then interrogate the contents programatically, I see text values such as 8This text is set to fontsize 8 and Page P of N Clearly the character introduces a code that controls font size or is a placeholder for a field such as the page number. However, if I set the content of footer text to strings with this format there is no interpretation of the codes and I see the exact text that I set into the footer, e.g. the footer displays as 'Page P of N' instead of 'Page 1 of 3'. On studying the Developers Guide I wondered if I needed to create a 'com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber' object and insert it into the footer text. However, I can find no way to create the pagenumber object. Code such as Dim field As Object = doc.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber) results in a 'com.sun.star.lang.ServiceNotRegisteredException:' Please can someone give me a clue how to proceed? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] We need your help
The entire Nokia N800 and N810 need a version of Open Office for The Operating System Tablet OS 2007 and 2008. We have Been working hard to port a version for it but because of the Nokia's In ability to run OOo. based applications we haven't gotten any ware. The Nokia can Run applications written in python up to version 2.5 . It is preferred that it be written in a version of python lower than 2.5. The Nokia Has a 320 MHz CPU and 128 MB of RAM. There is a total of 256 MB of on board memory. This means that The version of OpenOffice has to be smaller than about 100 MB but preferably 30mb or smaller. We would really appreciate if you would help us with this problem.

StarOffice uses OOo as a library and supposedly adds only coating to it. Hence it does not have to release its proprietary code.

What do you mean by coating? I mean that I think StarOffice adds things (like other librairies, or templates or dictionaries). But now that I think about it, since SUN holds the copyright to the code it would be actually possible for SUN to make modifications to the code without releasing it and that may well happen in StarOffice. So, anyway, StarOffice/OpenOffice are a specific pair because they are fully owned by SUN. While anything else is not. Sorry for being unclear in the first reply.

Re: [dev] Probable GPL violations - Butler Office Pro
I guess I would have to buy Staroffice to know for sure but I guess I just don't see the difference. Just because they might be associated directly with Ooo doesn't mean they do not have to abide by the GNU. I don't actually think any of the discussed companies are doing anything wrong but if they were then so is Staroffice. Coating by StarOffice is still a violation if what Butler is doing is a violation. Maybe I am wrong here, but it seems to me the originator of the topic may have a personal beef of something. Maybe he bought it and is trying to get revenge or something. I did do a little research and found similar cases but found that the court found that the violations were minor infringements. In those cases the companies did not display the GNU notice. In this case Butler does display the notice. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Probable-GPL-violations---Butler-Office-Pro-tp14662459p14999444.html Sent from the openoffice - dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] Probable GPL violations - Butler Office Pro
They don't mention OpenOffice They don't have to mention Ooo-- just provide the open source license agreement. Also, they may be using an older version of Ooo license that allows for more loopholes. I have a feeling it's just a guy or 3 in a basement because the reply was instantaneous and whoever it was didn't seem like a typical customer service rep. He was a bit more knowledgeable than a typical customer service rep. Your most likely correct about this one. If they run ads on eBay they probably don't do much business. Not worth the legal hassle really. I viewed the ad on eBay and see where you get bashing from but from my perspective they aren't bashing open source as much as pointing out the dangers of buying from someone they do not know. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Probable-GPL-violations---Butler-Office-Pro-tp14662459p14999836.html Sent from the openoffice - dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sun own the copyright of OpenOffice.org. Therefore they are not required to abide to the (L)GPL for code they own. Similarly, they can relicense the code under a different license to whoever they want. They do (own the copyright)? So they got people to do the programming for them through open source and then copyright it and monopolize the ability to use it commercially through StarOffice? Hmmm-- and everyone is complaining that a few high school kids are making a few bucks on eBay? I think maybe we should ask Star to release their code... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Probable-GPL-violations---Butler-Office-Pro-tp14662459p1491.html Sent from the openoffice - dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rich - Well, that might be different then. It is not what I had been told happened with Ooo but if you are correct that might make a difference. So you are saying that they already owned the source and then released it for opensource development? Even so, they could not claim ownership of code developed by individuals who were not compensated. They may own the original source but cannot claim ownership of the newer code unless they compensate for the work. Staroffice seems to do this. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

[dev] make bug reporting easier
Hi - Love Open Office, want to contribute in my small way. Use Open Office all day, and have found a bug, but find your bug reporting system too complicated. I spent over an hour trying to work out how to report, but gave up. *I would suggest that if you want people who use the applications in all sorts of different ways, i.e. the more general office users, not just the tecchies, to feedback problems, there should be a 'junior' level of reporting, that then more tecchy people could check out and then do official bug report. * Lots of small businesses and consultants don't have an in-house IT person, who could find manage to do report in specified way. [My bug is that when creating labels on a mailmerge, the 'suppress blank lines' doesn't work on printing, despite this being selected. This hasn't been corrected on later editions, so I guess nobody else who has spotted it has managed to report it]. Hope you don't mind me emailing you directly, but didn't know what else to do.

As far as I can tell, I don't think it's going to produce any results to continue that discussion in the wiki spec to try to come up with the one true way of handling this problem, especially if you want to see anything implemented in a timely manner, instead of 5 years from now. ;-) The discussion is already growing big, and the original intention of coming up with some kind of agreement is already lost (in my view). It would be much quicker to just implement the way Excel does, put it in to the release, then decide which part of it we want to implement differently after the fact, not before. Given the circumstance that seems like a much more sensible approach. Truth be told that a lot of those angry users are angry not because of any logistics but because Calc is not Excel. So, when in doubt, defaulting to Excel's behavior makes sense to me. Anyway, that's the way I see it. Agree or disagree, is up to you. -- Kohei Yoshida - OpenOffice.org Engineer - Novell, Inc.
