Re: [tdf-discuss] Question
You have an extension called PDF Import. Can I use it or is it useful for something else?

How to convert a PDF to an ODT file? Unless you frequently need to make many conversions, or need to convert extremely large files, you can use a free on-line conversion service. The service I use is http://www.zamzar.com The conversions are not 100% perfect, but reasonable enough for my editing requirements.

PDF Import (was: Re: [tdf-discuss] Question)

This list here is intended for discussions about The Document Foundation, not about LibreOffice. And I would also ask you to use a more descriptive subject. Question is very likely to be ignored.

The german wiki page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/de has some additions and links for that. Maybe somebody should translate that to the english page. I suppose. But that page is on http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/ so even if translated and cleaned up wouldn't suffice. But if done it wasn't that difficult to link to? The place for such a FAQ should be on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ and apply to all locales. In my opinion the place of such a FAQ should be at a place easy to find and to point at.. And then once finalised/finalized should be posted in each mail list on a monthly basis so that list users are aware of etiquette/action/cooperation on the lists. This used to be common practice for mail lists in the past helped resolve unnecessary posts regarding posting styles[1], etc. The problem - as seen also in this thread[1] - is that people don't mind to read just for reading and thus these pointers don't help much. Instead they - or at least some - do if pointed there in case of ineffective communication style. [1] As You might have noticed, about 8 weeks ago I added a new line at the footer of each english language mailing list: Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette So it's easy for each mailing list member to point to suitable information if needed. No research in bookmarks or web. Just look (and point as I do here) at the footer of the mail. I choose to create that wikipage because no one was able or willing to show me a appropriate place to link to. The wikipage makes it easy for everyone to put in suitable text or links to complete information and makes it easy to link from anywhere to recent information as well. Please forgive me the poor content. Feel free to rise information and cultural level. ;o)) It's pretty hard to condem someone for top-posting, going way of topic, discussing religion, et al if there isn't a FAQ or some form of common guideline for user behaviour in the mail lists. Right - therefore my effort. [..] That said, here is a question; how can a common user be expected to possibly find http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/ to begin with? Answer: Just point at the end of the mail and put the information You'd expect at that target - done. So: Good news. :o)) I see no link on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ do you? maybe soon?? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style .. missing up to now - coming soon??

[tdf-discuss] Re: RC2 - no 3.4.0.x tag in help - about libreoffice
But can't it simply say RC2 somewhere so that *USERS* KNOW which version they have? Think harder. The point is that if a Release Candidate build is determined to be good *enough* to be released, the *exact* *same* *bits* will become the release then instead. Just the names of the download directories, downloadable file, etc are changed as necessary. So if the Help:About would say RC2, and RC2 would be turned into a release, then the release would also say RC2. Which would be confusing, wouldn't it? This said, sure, we (developers) are well aware that the information in the Help:About dialog is less useful than it could be. The mention of OOo master workspace names and milestones (the OOO340m1) is becoming more and more meaningless. Also the build number is mostly pointless, one version number corresponding to our tarball release number should be enough. --tml -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

So if the Help:About would say RC2, and RC2 would be turned into a release, then the release would also say RC2. Which would be confusing, wouldn't it? It's not a matter of thinking harder. The program I'm used to that uses Release Candidates simply changes the version number (even if no changes are made to the code). So RC2 is build 7599 and the OEM is 7600. But for the user what matters is that one shows in the About box as RC2 and the other as Final. I know that makes no sense for developers but the About box is for the users... so it should be user friendly ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RC2-no-3-4-0-x-tag-in-help-about-libreoffice-tp2994857p382.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
