[dev] Re: OO 3.3 is installing JRE 1.6.22 (already have 1.6.24)
Hi Stuart, I just updated to OpenOffice 3.3.0 (OOO330m20 (Build:9567)). The update installed JRE 1.6.22. If I remove JRE 1.6.22, will OpenOffice still work? yes. If you completely remove Java from your system then only some parts will not work eg. the database is Java based and some wizards or some of the document (XSLT based) filters that rely on Java. If you installed extensions then it depends on the extension if it has been written in Java or not.

You don't need OOo for that, you can use some XML processing on the meta.xml stream inside the ODF package file format.

Re: [dev] Help with Calc TRUE function interrupting alphabetical listing
Hello Ann, just enter it as 'True By using the apostrophe the following text is handled as text. Otherwise the TRUE is handled as function which gives 1 (formatted as TRUE) as return value. I am new to OO, but am loving it thus far. I do have a dilemna with the TRUE function. I have created a database of personal contact info for an exhibit I am curating. One of the artists has the surname of 'True'. I've tried again and again to enter as such, but Calc automatically changes it to 'TRUE' and apparently attaches the TRUE function to it. It also lists the name at the top of the list when I sort the data. Please advise on how to override this.

Re: [dev] Any workaround for auto file extension always on?
Hi, on 'real' operating systems file extensions aren't necessarily needed as the operating system provides automatic file content detection by itself (eg. /etc/magic). Inside OpenOffice.org in case of text files (eg. ASCII) there's the only exception I know because if a text file uses the file extension .csv then this file is opened in Calc and otherwise Writer will care about text files. I can second your opinion that the removal of an 'auto-extension' is not useful because files can be overwritten by accident but in my opinion the user should have the choice to create files without an extension. Kind regards, Joost As can be seen in our user lists and elsewhere the inadvertent removal of auto-extension is a source of severe user problems including data loss. I know several examples where users have overwritten their original document with a pdf they have created. There are also numerous examples where users couldn't reopen their documents from the desktop or even didn't find them at all because they accidently saved them without extensions. So removing the check box basically was a good idea. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] How to get a list of all CWS in a build?
Hello Joe, to look at EIS was a good idea... I'm looking at cws impress122 and I want to know if it has been integrated in the OOG680_mX builds. How can I do that?

SRC680_m255 was the version OOG680_m0 was branched off SRC680 (head) codeline and the current build on OOG680 is m2. but that's a different branch (OOF680), and I don't know if the G branch will absolutely include all the cws' from the F branch. OOG680 is the release branch for the upcoming 2.3.x version[s]. OOF680 was the release branch for version 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. The release notes list changed cws' but not all cws'; impress122 may not have changed for this release. The release notes for SRC680_m218 lists this CWS as integrated: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.3.m218_snapshot.html I remember seeing somewhere a page that would list all cws integrated in a specific release, but now I can't find that page.

Re: [dev] Re: Build ID INSANITY...
Hello G. Roderick, having the version information displayed within the bitmap is a feature that simply hasn't been implemented. Adding the version information to that splash screen would mean that the bitmap has to be changed for every build. This is not really manageable. In case of the OOo-Dev2.0 build it's a setting within the build environment to use the other splash screen instead of the OpenOffice.org 2.0 splash screen. The 2.0 spash screen will be used for 2.0.2 RC again. Kind regards, Joost Not certain I understand. Are you saying that the bitmap is fixed and cannot be changed or that the bitmap is such a pain to change that doing so is not worth it? I ask because I see on invoking OOo that the splashscreen dynamically shows loading progress and, also, that there is a new splashscreen for the developer snapshots. Please explain why adding the release and build info cannot be inserted in the same manner as the progress bar. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
