Conceptually it is the same. The number of patches may differ, but that's not a conceptual difference, which is why I wrote V2.0.

[dev] Print format changes for Linux
Hi, the CUPS print system that is used on Linux and other Unix operating systems is switching its file format from PostScript to PDF. As part of this OpenOffice.org should switch its print output file format to PDF, too. This was implemented in OOo for issue 94173. The correspoding CWS pdfprint is going Ready for QA today and since this affects an area where we should have broad testing with a variety of systems and printers, I put an install set of the CWS at: ftp://qa-upload.services.openoffice.org/pdfprint/linux-x86/OOo_DEV300m86_Linux_x86_install-arc_en-US.tar.gz Please feel free to check this install set and see if it gives you printing related trouble. Ideally this change should be transparent for the user, that is you print your documents just as you did before. The only visible change is that Print to file would now produce PDF instead of PostScript; also you can switch the behavior back to the old one in either the (not well known) spadmin utility or per print job: in the Print dialog open Properties... , go to the Device TabPage and change the Printer Language type to either PDF or the desired PostScript Level.

Do I read it right in the issue that CUPS= 1.2 uses PDF, whereas older ones will use PS? This will be OK, as Supposedly that is so. Certainly Till Kamppeter knows much more about that than me. Anyway since the CUPS print API just says print this file and does filtering for PDF and PostScript since its beginnings (as did lpd before it), the actual change is fairly localized to OOo itself. 1.2 is so ancient. But if a newer CUPS switches, do we need some new versioned dependency? I don't think so, at least that is what Till told me. instead of PostScript; also you can switch the behavior back to the old one in either the (not well known) spadmin utility or per print job: in ^ .. and not to be used when using CUPS ... You can do now; however the changes will not affect your CUPS configuration only OOo. This is only thought as a solution for weird cases where you encounter a problem with PDF and really really want to fallback to PostScript printing; you can make this persistent with spadmin now. And such problems I'd like to know about so they can be addressed before 3.4 is released. Ideally before the CWS hits the master, but such changes tend to produce issues only seen later on. You're of course right, normally you should use the CUPS admin tool of the distribution for printer configuration.

The irony is, once you have hit a programming error, you can no longer have confidence in the program's behavior. It could happen that the data you still manage to save is subtly corrupted, so subtly that you do not notice immediately. This is indeed a dilemma, and there is no golden way out. That said, in the event of a crash (which would include the abort from an assertion in a non-product build) OOo already tries to save your open documents (and it appears to be somewhat effective at it). Pardon me, but you are confusing me. If as you say we should crash ASAP because an assertion may have subtly corrupted your data, then consequently we shouldn't save the documents either. That may be the puristic vantage point, but crashing and loosing the user's work with 100% probability instead of saving it with 99.5% probability seems a bad idea to me. Because if you're honest, those subtle ways the document may have changed erroneously are really really rare compared to the number of assertions hit. Sure, nobody wants to suffer the consequences of programming errors. However, the software industry happens to be in a state where errors are make that the universe, you may have noticed that errors are not a pure software thing ;-) a frequent reality. The question, then, is how best to carry on once a programming error has been encountered (if the software has the luxury at all to even notice). Fail fast (abort) has the potential to cause the least data loss and the least confusion (the program does not continue running in an uncontrolled state, corrupting the user's data or giving wrong answers to the user). On the contrary, fail fast = abort, is the only way to make 100% sure that the user's work is lost. Carry on regardless (ignoring the detection that the program has reached an uncontrolled state; what effectively happens when assertions are disabled in production systems) can be considered unacceptable behavior. It potentially leads to corrupting the user's data or giving wrong answers to the user, with the user not being aware that those answers are wrong. Yes, shit occasionally happens. But with the same reasoning we should abandon all traffic, because there have been accidents. Simply crashing *on purpose* is IMHO not a solution. Give the user the choice to continue at least. If warning boxes pop up all over the place, the point of users filing issues is also achieved but at the same time gives the user the opportunity to save his work.

Re: [dev] Build System and visibility
The only caveat that comes to mind is that you would require a private/public mechanism of every compiler. That holds true for all the major platforms, though. For UNO libraries the export of only basically three symbols (plus a plethora of compiler details) is essential because there are likely to be duplicate symbols else and there is no easy way to find such clashes. For the framework libs as you called them like vcl, sfx2, svx the PRIVATE is optional in the sense that these should still work afterwards. So if you rely on compiler visibility exclusively, it might break one of the less often built platfoms. If you're asking whether one comes to mind, I don't know of any. And one more concrete problem: you'd have to ensure that all symbols reflected as not exported in the map files now actually have the corresponding PRIVATE statement; it might be that there are some that currently haven't owed to the fact that we have multiple mechanisms. However we would need to avoid duplicate symbols here, too. Just my 2 cents, pl bjoern michaelsen - Sun Microsystems - Hamburg Germany wrote: I do not think that we still have that many libs that are not explicitly marked PRIVATE/PUBLIC on the function. So it would be only about those few renegade libs that do not follow the convention. A very important sideeffect would be that the visibility of a function can be seen directly in the source, not by: - the source - the mapfile - the makefile - That would be a huge improvement in readability.

[dev] CWS printerpullpages delayed to OOo 3.3
I regret to have to announce that CWS printerpullpages (covering a revised printing experience) just changed release to OOo 3.3. While it is almost done (there really are only finishing touches left to do to be feature complete), we will not have the time before 3.2 branch off to do the proper testing and getting user input that this CWS requires and deserves. Integrating this CWS to the ongoing development tree soon after branch off will give us the opportunity to collect user feedback and fix the small things that are invariably broken after such a large scale change. My thanks go to all the people who have been and still are working hard on this CWS. All this work should result in getting this right in a 3.3, not integrate prematurely into 3.2.

[dev] High contrast mode
Hi, for quite a while now OOo has supported High Contrast Mode - an accessibility feature that makes OOo display its UI and parts of the document in a different color set that guarantees a high contrast between foreground and background (e.g. white text on black background). Historically this was always a hight contrast black mode, that is the high contrast mode was light foreground on dark background. And consequently all places in the code having to decide whether high contrast was active, decided so on the fact that the background color is dark (not necessarily black since there are e.g. some high contrast themes that feature light yellow on dark blue for this). Up came issue 35482 [1] which (rightfully) says, that there are dark desktop themes, too, that are not high contrast and that the user in that case would want to switch our behavior off in order to get e.g. the normal images in the toolbars. Up to recently these desktop themes were rather few, however some Linux distributions are now switching their default to such themes - which makes a re-evaluation of our current HC strategy necessary. To solve this issue we'd have to change the current behavior of dark background = high contrast to a high contrast is a separate property kind of behavior. We already have such a flag, but up to now it was not to be used except in cases where the background on which something was to be rendered was not know at the time of processing (e.g. metafiles can have the problem that they get written ahead of actual rendering). So for changing the high contrast behavior I propose to change our code to use the formerly strongly discouraged HC flag and rely on its correct setting to decide what (e.g) icon set to render. Unless someone objects I will change the according code instances (of which there are quite a few :-( ). Opinions ?

I'm fine with any other change, as long as this option gets fixed ;) The guessing works, all right. It just cannot be switched off as it should in many places, because the guessing switched off only influences the HC flags, which is not used as a basis for doing HC mode. There are of course also places which adjust to background color regardless of HC mode or not; these should/will not be changed.

[dev] moving psprint into vcl
Hi all, for various reasons we (hdu and me in this case) would like to move the code now residing in psprint into vcl. reasons to do so: - font subsetting code is in psprint and on many platforms linked statically into vcl anyway. - future CUPS versions will migrate from PostScript to PDF as their primary spool file format. moving psprint to vcl will make it easier to do this migration in OOo, too. - vcl is psprint's only customer anyway. - there is code duplication between psprint and vcl currently that can be removed after this changed. However this will mean there will be a CWS that will make this migration and changes to psprint in other CWS will be moot (see the discussion about svn not warning about committing to moved files). So consider yourself warned that we will announce a time at which no changes to psprint should be made until a certain CWS is integrated (not that there are that many people doing that anyway :-) ) At the same time we could do a little cleanup and first thing coming to mind is the MACOSX specific code which could be removed. That would however mean that the old MacOSX X11 port would not really work anymore (at least WRT to printing). So I want to ask: do we really continue to have the X11 Mac port in the 3.0 line ? Are there any compelling arguments for this ?

The OfficeJet can scan at any DPI value between 75 and 1200, but the edit box was not editable. I inserted some additional DPI values in the listbox and made the edit box editable. This should work for any scanner that can scan at any DPI value between min and max. The resolution box (maReslBox) is a NumericBox, so you should be able to enter any value between min and max there. It is disabled only if the sane driver does fail to provide the range for the resolution. Aside from that there is a modify handler for that box (see line 597 of sanedlg.cxx) that might do something unwise. 2) Tested with a Canon Lide scanner, the listbox offered several DPI values, but again only the min and max values were selectable, The code wrongly set the min and max listbox range: the min DPI value as max and viceversa. This happened because the Lide can scan at fixed DPI values, but the driver returns the values in the opposite order to what the code expected it to be. The resolution edit box is not editable. Oops. Well sorting the values should fix that. I reworked the user interface. The changes so far. 3) Moved controls around to make the dialog more compact. 4) Added a listbox to choose the scan mode (Color, Grey and Lineart) directly, without accessing the advanced options treebox. Several mouse clicks saved. And 5) removed the Advanced options checkbox. The treebox is always in advanced mode. 6) Increased the size of the preview rectangle. Sounds ok to me. The preview rectangle poses a problem. The X and Y sizes are constants set in the .hrc file. I can turn them into variables, and set them at runtime according to the width and height of the scan area (the OfficeJet has 220x381 mm, the Lide 215x300 mm, for instance) and within the bounds of the dialog box. But the preview image is always vertically squashed because the screen aspect ratio is not taken into account. Aspect ratio is usually 1,25 (for 1280x1024) or 1,33 (for 1024z768), but new LCD screens can have other ratios. Just for understanding: you don't really mean the screen aspect but the ratio width/height of individual pixels, that is the ratio between DPIx and DPIy, not between absolute screen width and height. I couldn't find a way to determine this ratio. There are private variables in the Window class that (my guess) should hold these values. I think that some functions, such as PixelToLogic, etc should provide help, but I couldn't find any documentation. Can anybody provide help or a hint? PixelToLogic and vice versa converts between the current map mode and pixels. Since the current map mode is most likely MAP_PIXEL in the dialog, you're kind of stuck. For such conversions (assuming you are in a memeber function of that dialo) you can code like this. Push( PUSH_MAPMODE ); // save mapmode SetMapMode( MapMode( MAP_POINT ) ); // set mapmode for points Size aSize( 100, 100 ); // size in pixel Size aPtSize( PixelToLogic( aSize ) ); // converted size in points Pop(); // restore mapmode However you will find that this does not work either since the DPI in x and y are often the same, even if on the real screen they are not. Actually since these are so often wrong they are forced to be equal in vcl's system dependent X11 code.

That's the point: VCL does this. When a window is destroyed, it's child windows (held as members) are destroyed, too.

Since leaving Valgrind out of the summary would leave titles like ID:23 i strongly oppose simply leaving it. The complete naming scheme isn't explained in the Wiki, so I didn't now it's a mere ID then. My objection is against using the summary to classify issues (and to me it sounded / still sounds as if this is the main use of the Valgrind in the summary), since this is error-prone. There are other means for classifying issues, namely keywords. Since Stacktrace ID:x seems to work well for stacktraces, Bad example, since stack traces are not submitted in IssueZilla, but in the Sun-internal bug tracking system (to respect user privacy), and this system doesn't know other means for issue classification. Not so bad example, since the current version of Valgrind tasks is handled the same way. I guess this whole issue only crept up since Nikolai wants to move this to IssueZilla tasks as there are no privacy issues involved in tasks created by an automated tool. Still i want to be able to see from the title what an issue is generally about. A tool can never know that, so at least the valgrind title tells me what class of issues this belongs to. why not stay with Valgrind ID:x for the valgrind bugs ? What naming scheme would you propose instead ? Do Valgrind bugs really have an ID? (I mean, except the issue ID)? Aren't they defined by a test case, not by an ID? Die normative Kraft des Faktischen ist da am Werk. Already existing tasks tell us that currently they have an ID. Since the valgrind tasks are mostly related to a set of test cases of unknown size, this is also not a good criterium for the title. I suggest having the Error type or Error text (which according to the Wiki are in the issue description) as summary, since this better describes what's going on than Valgrind ID:x. We could enhance this with the file name where the error occurs, or things like this. Everything allows you to grasp an idea of the issue just from reading the summary. This would be what ? There is no direct relation between any test case basic line and the valgrind output AFAIK, what would be the Error text in your opinion ?

Re: [dev] OpenOffice and PPD's
Hi, Lesley Northam wrote: OpenOffice 1 (that ships with RedHat 9) cannot see these paper sizes in the printing menu. As a result, I cannot print from OpenOffice 1 (formatting issues). It probably can, but OOo 1 did not support CUPS. You would have to copy your PPD to office/share/psprint/drivers and then create a printer that uses that PPD by using the spadmin tool. OpenOffice 2.0.2 can see these sizes, and is even so kind as to adjust my document accordingly. However, for some sizes it confuses width and height, so my papersize is landscape instead of portrait orientation. The width/height is described correctly in the PPD file. I have some questions: How does the printing system work (in regards to printer-specific options) in OpenOffice 1 and OpenOffice 2? Is it possible to see my printers PPD options in OpenOffice 1? See above. Why is OpenOffice 2.0.2 mucking up the width/height values for some sizes? Because users do so many strange things; like e.g. giving a user paper format in Format-Page and then not adjusting the Landscape/Portrait property so OOo tries to cope with that; which is probably not so good for your specific use case. However there also may be some bugs in paper handling in the layers below the applications.

Re: [dev] Fontconfig support status?
Jan Uhlir wrote: Hello everyone, I have a curious question about status of support of system fontconfig/freetype in recent OpenOffice.org 2.0.x Similar question was left unaswered on user forum so I'm trying my luck here.. I use build options --with-system-freetype --enable-fontconfig. Does it mean that OOo will now obey a system fontconfig settings (/etc/fonts.conf) I have a precise per font settings fonts.conf - size and font tailored hinting, autohinting and antialiasing – and I naturally want OOo to follow them. What is the exact relation between OOo and system fontconfig/freetype if OOo is build with --with-system-freetype --enable-fontconfig? OOo uses fontconfig to discover available fonts and what their names are. Also fontconfig is used to discover which UI font to use if you happen to run the gtk plugin for OOo (usually the case if you run OOo on Gnome). The more detailed settings you mentioned are not supported as of now; that would be an enhancement yet to be implemented.

Re: [dev] OSL_VERIFY and other diagnostics
Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany wrote: Hi Kay, Sorry for the (may be stupid) question, but why not just change OSL_VERIFY to emit nothing, in case OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL == 0? I would expect that only weird code would relay on the evaluation in case of a zero debug level. Why weird? The alternative is something like #if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL 0 bool result = #endif callSomeFooWhichSignalsSuccess( bar ); OSL_ENSURE( result, this was expected to succeed! ); I definately think that OSL_VERIFY( callSomeFooWhichSignalsSuccess( bar ) ); is the better (non-weird) alternative here. That case is weird, because you choose to ignore the return value. In that you create a possibly not easy to find error. Ignoring return values is just bad code. Now there certainly are case in which the return value can be ignored safely, but then an OSL_VERIFY wouldn't be necessary either. Actually i think we should remove OSL_VERIFY for good.

Re: [dev] Save as PDF?
Hi, what exactly would you want to know ? I could point at the vcl project to vcl/inc/pdfwriter.hxx and vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter_impl.[hc]xx which contain that parts of OOo's PDF export that actually handle creating a PDF. But that is of course code working inside OOo, one would have to adapt that heavily to work in Mozilla. Plus the code is mostly undocumented :-( .
