Tomaž,

How can we set the URL (using the API) for inserting a linked image

there is no "setGraphicURL" method ?

Tomaž,

How should we find out if a image is embeded in the doc or not ?

we uses for now:

if left(oCheckgraphic1.GraphicURL,27) <> "vnd.sun.star.GraphicObject:" then

When opening your sample file I had a single crash on LO 4.4.7.2 x86 under

The error message title was "LibreOffice 4.4 - Fatal Error" and the message
"bad allocation"
But I can't replicate the crash again...

No crashes with LO 5.1.3.2 x64 under Windows 10 x64 (but the resize problems
are the same, see below)

There is definitely a problem with image resize in Calc. Resizing down is
not so bad (although it is difficult to be accurate) but resizing up seems
to be completely out of control (of course you can simply type the exact
value but that is not expected in a GUI based program...)

Hope this helps...

Hi,

is it possible to open a website in the user's preferred browser from a
dialog (or from a Basic macro, or through the UNO API)?

I see that the "Help" - "About" dialog does this, but it is defined in
the source in Glade format, different to the Basic dialogs.

Thanks for any ideas!

Playing Video in LO Dialogs

[Fernand Vanrie]

We can play video (windows) using the simple set of macro's  I found in

The secret to have some control over the playerwindow is in the

is there a other way to lay a video in a LO Dialog ?

Thanks for any hint

Re: Setting data in Writer chart from Basic

[Fernand Vanrie]

 Jan,

please find some code who works fine for me,

maybe its locking and unlocking whor provoke the refresh or its becuase 
i change some more things after setting the data ?


 oChart.lockControllers()
  oChart.Data.setData(DataArray())
 oChart.Data.setrowDescriptions(LabelsArray())

dim columnLabelsArray(2)

 columnLabelsArray(0) = "20" & mid(sjaarmin2,len(sjaarmin2)-4,2)
columnLabelsArray(1) = "20" & mid(sjaarmin1,len(sjaarmin2)-4,2)
 columnLabelsArray(2) = "20" & mid(sjaarnu,len(sjaarmin2)-4,2)

 oChart.Data.setColumnDescriptions(columnLabelsArray())
' Title
 oChart.HasMainTitle=false
oChart.Title.string = sTitel
' Labels
 oChart.DataSourceLabelsInFirstColumn = true
 oChart.DataSourceLabelsInFirstRow= false
' Legend
 ochart.hasLegend = true
' oSheet.getCharts.getByName("CHART1").getEmbeddedObject.hasLegend 
= true


 ochart.area.fillcolor = rgb(240,240,240)
 oChart.unlockControllers()

i resently found out that using the "dispatcher" also can provocke the 
refresh of some doc ellements


document = odoc.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
'here do changing the rowheigt in calc document the repositoning of 'all 
shapes in a doc

dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "RowHeight"
args1(0).Value = 500
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document , ".uno:RowHeight", "", 0, args1())


Hi,

with this code I can change the data in a Writer chart:

 set doc = thisComponent
 set ctrl = thisComponent.CurrentController
 xChart = ctrl.getModel().getEmbeddedObjects.getByName("Objekt1")
 set cDoc = xChart.getEmbeddedObject
 set cDataArray = cDoc.getDataProvider
 data = cDataArray.getData
 ' Do something with the data
 cDataArray.setData(data)

But I can't get the chart to update. The only way I see is to
double-click on the chart in the document, then it will update.

What is the right way to force an update via code?

Thank!
 Jan

Re: Question on 5.0 and StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL

[Fernand Vanrie]

Jerry ,

can you load a new empty document ?

oDocument = 
StarDesktop.LoadComponentFromUrl(private:factory/swriter,_default,0,loadArgs())


what's  the operating system ?

Is the oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL still valid in 5.0 ?

I am calling it in my macro and getting an error about the  URL parameter
which is file:///tmp/file.ptt
so seems as though the file URL is OK and the file is present.

The error is BASIC runtime... type detection failed.

Is there a new/correct/better way to load and impress file  ?

Adding a image to a gridcontrol row using BASIC

[Fernand Vanrie]

Hello,

on a Openoffice wiki page i found some JAVA code to add a image into a 
GridControl Row
what i need is how to make a Object array in BASIC who supports 
graphics and octher data


thanks for any hint

The main change in milestone 3 regarding DataModel is the possibility to 
add not only text but also images. That's why addRow-method has as 
second parameter no more string array but object array. Futher supported 
types are int, double, float.


/Java/

 Object  dataModel=  xMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.awt.grid.DefaultGridDataModel, m_xContext);
 XGridDataModel xGridDataModel=  (XGridDataModel)  UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XGridDataModel.class, dataModel);
 Object  oGraphicProvider=  
xMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext(com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicProvider,
 m_xContext);
 XGraphicProvider xGraphicProvider=  (XGraphicProvider)  
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XGraphicProvider.class, oGraphicProvider);
 // create the graphic object
 PropertyValue[]  aPropertyValues=  new  PropertyValue[1];
 PropertyValue aPropertyValue=  new  PropertyValue();
 aPropertyValue.Name  =  URL;
 aPropertyValue.Value  =  file:///c:/myimages/testimage.png;
 aPropertyValues[0]  =  aPropertyValue;
 XGraphic xGraphic=  xGraphicProvider.queryGraphic(aPropertyValues);
 xGridDataModel.addRow(1,new  Object[]{xGraphic,1,2,1.3});
 //one row which contains only text
 xGridDataModel.addRow(2,new  Object[]  {2,1,2,2,1,3}  );

hi Fernand,

let's see...

avmedia/source/win/window.cxx:

bool Window::create( const uno::Sequence uno::Any  rArguments )
{
 IVideoWindow* pVideoWindow = const_cast IVideoWindow* ( 
mrPlayer.getVideoWindow() );
 WNDCLASS* mpWndClass = lcl_getWndClass();

 if( !mnFrameWnd  pVideoWindow  mpWndClass )
 {
 awt::Rectangle  aRect;
 sal_IntPtr   nWnd;

 rArguments[ 0 ] = nWnd;
 rArguments[ 1 ] = aRect;

 mnParentWnd = static_castint(nWnd);


so on Windows, parameters are a HWND of the parent and a rectangle...
probably the parameters are undocumented for a reason, very
system-dependent and subject to change without notice.  also i have no
idea how you can get a window's HWND from BASIC code.


Michael thakns for the hint

on the ooForum i found this code:


Dim arg(0) As Object
Dim oWindow As Object
...
   moSM = CreateObject(com.sun.star.ServiceManager)

   moDesk = moSM2.CreateInstance(com.sun.star.frame.Desktop)
  oWindow = moDesk.ActiveFrame.GetContainerWindow()
Dim tableau()
tableau = Array()
' the 1st param is an empty array, the 2nd is an integer = 1 (may 
be OS dependant ?)

mHwndOOo = oWindow.getWindowHandle(tableau, 1)

but how to make this work in a dialog ?

Hello,

is it possible to get the printing progress of a document via UNO? 
This would make it possible to give the user some feedback when 
printing large documents.


The closest thing I've found is the PrintJobEvent 
(http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/structcom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1view_1_1PrintJobEvent.html), 
however the PrintableState seems to contain only very basic 
information (Started, Completed, Spooled)...


Thanks a lot,

Can XML been imported/transformed with API

Hallo,
  
In the past there was he "com.sun.star.comp.JAXTHelper" to
make a translation of a XML this stuff is now removed from LO

SaxtHelper is replaced by com.sun.star.comp.documentconversion.LibXSLTTransformer 
  
In the past there was some code (below originated from the
Hanja Hermione website) to work with this JAXThelper i tried the
same code but now using com.sun.star.comp.documentconversion.LibXSLTTransformer 
  

No errors but i end up with a empty "out.txt" file 

can someone explain how to work with the new stuff or is it simply
not possible to make XML transformations using the API.

(the SaxParser is working but to slow for big files)

Well, I considered doing some magic that when the property is

That's essentially a variant of roll back the change.

1) This requires an incompatible change again; 4.2 would be
incompatible with 4.1.

is suppose that there is not a lot off API-basic code around for 4.2 :-)


2) Applied to Time, it leaves the problem of round-tripping.

3) If we set DataFieldProperty to the name of the new
(pseudo?)property (UnoDate? DateAsUNO? StructDate?), the other
problems I'm thinking about should go OK, except that indirect
access through DataFieldProperty will still be incompatible, but
that should be minor?

Go for it, then we can go for 4.1.
If not: then please let it know,  we can start changing the code using a

Re: Reformatting a text document via UNO

[Fernand Vanrie]

Pavel ,

all formating can been handled wit a macro, the Gimmicks library is 
a good start to see it working

Hi all,

is there a way to reformat parts or whole text document e.g. from a 
Basic macro? Without inserting / changing a text content to force 
formatting.
I am thinking about a macro changing a compatibility option called by 
user during document editing.

wrong type to the C++ code. I don't see how to achieve it short of
special-casing this into the bridge / other parts of the Basic
implementation. Which sounds like a guaranteed subscription for
maintenance nightmares, and thus not the best of ideas. Would the
Basic implementation / UNO bridge people be willing to actually have
that kind of special-casing?

It already led to concrete mitigation steps (in the form of utility

What exiting code?

This Basic-Macros excerpt:
oDlg.getControl(myDateField).date = CDatetoIso(now())
was broken in LibreOffice 4.1.1. The only known migration path is to
adjust all broken places with:
REM broken oDlg.getControl(myDateField).date = CDatetoIso(now())
dim oDat as new com.sun.star.util.Date
 with oDat
  .day = Day(now)
  .month = Month(now)
  .year = Year(now)
 end with
 oDlg.getControl(myDateField).date = oDat
Now, if you have thousands LoC of Basic Macros, ...

I had understood exiting code as the return value of a procedure, so
I was completely lost as to what was meant. I now understand that
Fernand meant exiSting code, where code is not a value (a number /
string), but a piece of program.

On a sidenote,

oDlg.getControl(myDateField).date = CDatetoIso(now())

can be replaced by

oDlg.getControl(myDateField).date = CDateToUnoDate(now())

Lionel,

Do you mean dat going back to

dlg.getControl(myDateField).date as Isovalue and adding a 
dlg.getControl(myDateField).cdate is not option anymore ?

the problem is :

 stardiv.Toolkit.UnoDateFieldControls who has until 4.0 a date 
property who is a ISO representation of the datevalue.
Since 4.1 this date property is a structure (day, month, year) who is 
more handy but painfull for us with hundreds of code lines using the 
isovalue.


i signaled this already to Lionel, but he he is working hard to solving

Re: XRowLocate::findColumn API definition ambiguities

[Fernand Vanrie]

Andrzej ,

maybe also implement a HasColumn to made the use of FindColumn more 
secure


Greetz

Fernand

Hi everyone,

The definition of XRowLocate::findColumn, and its implementations, all
seem to be slightly confused.

XRowLocate doesn't specify what should happen what happens if findColumn
is called for an invalid column name. Currently some drivers return -1,
some drivers return the number of columns + 1 (they loop over all the
columns and don't check for this case). A number of implementations
actually have comments to the effect that they should return -1 or throw
an Exception.

In the case of JDBC drivers: the JDBC specification states that an
SQLException should be thrown in this case. This is therefore probably
what happens with any JDBC driver since findColumn is just passed
directly to JDBC (this also includes the HSQLDB driver which runs via
JDBC).

This means that any user of findColumn has to expect either an exception
or various invalid numerical values. (IMHO the Exception is most correct
and is what I've done for now with the Firebird driver.)

Is it OK if I rewrite the specification of findColumn to mirror that of
the JDBC specification, perhaps with a note that some drivers may still
return invalid values instead? (Of course I'd also upgrade all the
drivers to reflect the new specification -- so this note would only
apply to any external drivers -- are there any?)

Cheers,

Andrzej

I'm new to LibreOffice development and looking at enhancing the PDF 
export functionality, especially for Impress. I would like to add the 
print options (such as print grayscale, black and white, 
pages-per-sheet, ...) to PDF exporting.


Specifically, I'm looking at adding the LibreOffice Impress and 
Page Layout tabs (from the File--Print dialog) to the 
File--Export as PDF dialog. I have traced the code enough to see 
that printing and PDF export use the same OutputDevice class, which 
seems to support at least some of the options in question, so I'm 
hopeful it would work well.


Questions I need help with:
1. Is this a reasonable feature idea?
2. Would this be reasonably straight-forward to implement (i.e., are 
printing and PDF export as compatible as I might hope)?
3. Where is the code for the print dialog's tabs, and the export to 
PDF dialog's tabs?
4. Where is the code for setting the output layout (ex: 4 pages per 
sheet)?


Some background info:
I am a university lecturer and I export PDFs of my notes daily. I can 
print to a PDF printer; however Acrobat and PDF Creator under Windows 
generate very large PDFs (they come out as bitmaps vs a more vector 
format). My slides have a background color and the PDF needs to be 
black-and-white (to print well without wasting ink), and have 4 slides 
per page. I have hacked around the code to prove I can generate a PDF 
in the correct black-and-white 

Re: How to know the current viewed page and line in writer

[Fernand Vanrie]

 Ptyl ,

as told before, you find all position information in the viewcursor object

Hi
I looked into fdo#40465, but could not find any code snippets or 
something similar i could integrate in my code.
Moreover, using XRays, i saw that getViewData returns the location and 
size of the window, with respect to the desktop, and not the relative 
location of the viewer, with respect to the document. The view data 
remains as is, no matter which portion of the document i view. 
Moreover, the ZoomFactor shows incorrect values, a fact which may be 
related with fro#40465.


Still, it is a fact, LibreOffice knows which portions of the document 
to show.

So what component holds this data, and is it reachable via UNO?
If it is not reachable through UNO, what is the closest component 
which is reachable through UNO, so that we could extend its UNO 
support, so to provide us this data?

Hello

We would like to implement a new GUI element (for mobile), so to show 
the current viewed location in writer.


For this, we need to know:

1. Which line the writer GUI is currently showing (which may be 
different from the line the caret / cursor is on - such as when 
scrolling, for example)

2. How many lines there are in total, in the writer document

What is the simplest way to get this information?
is it available through UNO, and if not, how can we attain it?

Additionally, as a fallback, we would like to simply to know which 
page writer is showing, and how many pages there are in total.

What is the simplest way to get this data?

If there are no already existing accessors for this information, can 
you please direct me to methods and files to hack into or modify to 
get this data?


Thank you in advance

since 4.1 all DateTime fields are wrangled  when showing  a table in

date values seems to be OK

can that been confirmed on other than windows machines and maybe other

Done. The two properties added to
com.sun.star.form.component.DataBaseListBox are marked optional which
doesn't harm existing clients.

I did that on advice of ... Michael Stahl? ... on IRC to shut up the
incompatible API change error the build was giving me.

My understanding was that this was for the benefit of putative
existing *providers* of this service, that since the properties are
optional, we did not change the requirements under their feet and they
still conform to the service specification.

I don't understand how the properties being not optional would harm
*clients* (users of the service): clients written against the old
specification would simply not use the new properties, would they?

I toyed with the idea of adding a
com.sun.star.form.component.DataBaseListBox2 that makes them
non-optional so that users can be assured to have those properties,
but in the end I did not bother, and now we are past the 4.1 new
feature freeze.

i am using LO 4003 with winxp32 and it is impossible for me to export

it works neither with A4 nor with the attached file (test_210x210). i

Hi all,

That would be nice :-)

but I'm pretty sure this was discussed on this list before, and from
what I remember, backwards compatibility was to be maintained, given
that the project itself did not want to integrate the native connector
directly into LO releases for a variety of reasons.

My understanding was :
- Linux : the distribs will deal with it, as they have done so in the past;
- Mac OSX : backwards compatibility to be maintained;
- Windows : backwards compatibility to be maintained.

Nevertheless, this was a while ago, and before the decision to allow ABI
breakage was taken (i.e. meaning that extensions could break, and it
would be up to the extension providers to fix them). So, if that
approach is still the mantra, then the connector is doomed, at least on
Windows 64bit OS, and also on OSX as I don't think Apache OO are
currently inclined to do the LibreOffice project any particular favours,
unless someone takes it under their wing (in a similar way to what
occurred in AOO as it happens, as the connector there is not officially
part of the project, from what I understand).

I suppose an accessory to the above question would be whether the AOO
connectors actually still work with the most recent versions of AOO,
that would give an indication that the problem is of a more general
nature, and not just with LO.

That said, I could be completely wrong with my take on the situation, at
least until some of the devs can comment.

arguing for the change
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=85464 - a certain Cor
reporting the change as regression :)

i definitely think that there should be some button to reset formatting
that leaves character styles intact, and that should be the most easily
accessible option.  but i wouldn't object to a second button to reset
all formatting, including styles.

resetting the character styles should be as easy as setting Default
char style on the whole document, so i'm not sure if another option is
worth the additional clutter.

if you know this work around yes


but hyperlinks should not be touched by any reset formatting since
they are not formatting, but content entities (the reset feature also
doesn't convert fields to plain text).
when you works in the printing business you must get rid  of this kind 
of formating


also i'm thinking that ruby text should also not be touched by reset
formatting, and this has not yet been changed (i.e. it is reset
currently); the reset will actually throw away the ruby text.  i'm
already sitting on a patch to remove ruby from the reset list...

Re: Need confirmation about non-clearing of Character Styles

[Fernand Vanrie]

Caolán ,

thanks for the background and your atention to this problem

OK but ...its still very confusing for most users

they can clear all direct formating in the right place, the formating 
menu


they can clear Paragraph formating produced by a style using the 
Formating Toolbar option

why can they not clear Character formating produced by a style ?

+ there is no logic behind the clearing options
when using the formating tools in the Formating Toolbar we can use
 Clear Formating who clears the Paragraph format  who is actualy 
setting the slected text  to the default paragraph style
we can also do exactly the same by applying the   Default Style to the 
selected text


so i suppose we need to change  the Formating Toolbar Styles dropdown
- the existing option named Clear Formating has to name Clear 
Paragraph Style Formating
- a extra option named Clear Character Style formating  (who infact 
also will clear the Hyperlinks)

LibreOffice no longer works with Windows 1252 encoding ?

[Fernand Vanrie]

Maybe not the right forum ?
but is this new encoding behaviour intentional or a issue ?
since 3.6.3 LO no longer shows correctly non-standard-ascii characters 
with text imported from a database using Windows 1252 encoding(during 
the import), UTF-8 encoding now works fine but gives problems when 
exporting to PDF.


Older an recent files with text imported with a Windows 1252 encoding 
give problems when exporting to PDF,
Some fonts like Futura Sdt (Opentype)  has only  the  Latin 1252 code 
page and do not shows up when opening in a standard PDF viewer an do not 
print when using a PDF engine.
the Adobe Viewers gives the famous  error Can not extract the embedded 
fond 'FA+FuturaStdMedium' some characters
We found this behaviour  on Windows XP machines, PDF exported on Windows 
7 do not have this problem ?


The faulty PDF export is a regression starting from  LO 3.6.3 and also 
present in LO 3.4 beta.


ok: Window XP is a ending story, but maybe someone has the same problems 
with non-Windows machines

here the original format-size is not respected and make this option unusable
That way, the PDF file contains an additional hidden version of the

file with LibreOffice, it automatically uses that additional data to 
allow editing.

please make PDF a accepted graphic format as svg, jpg, tif etc.

The annoying slow cold start is simply due to the mass off Spelling

After deleting the not-needed maps in the share/Extensions directory, LO 
start in a Glimp. We had complains from our users (compared to OO) , so 
we made a script to delete most off this Dictionaries and now they love

I've seen similar issues with gamma correction information in png files

I don't know if the free programs or the Microsoft programs are right

someone with more knowledge of JPEG could advise. Please let me know

Heh - best of luck finding an answer; I'd be inclined to poke the

insight.

Ha, looks like
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6e67c03dc0225fc66343546b14e902b9d238b1a3
Enable -Wnon-virtual-dtor for GCC 4.6 is the culprit.  Among other
things, it changed the destructor of cppu::OPropertySetHelper from
public to protected, which with MSC changes the corresponding mangled
symbol name from ??1OPropertySetHelper@cppu@@QAE@XZ to
??1OPropertySetHellper@cppu@IAE@XZ, so breaks compatibility of
cppuhelper3msc.dll.

I'm working on a fix.

MySQL Native Connector broken for LOdev 3.6

[Fernand Vanrie]

As the MySQL Native Connector Extension is not supported by this 
community, filling a issue is not the point.


Sinds dev 3.6 the MySQL Native connector (for Windows) is broken , the 
Mysqlc.uno.dll can not been loaded during the extention installation , i 
suppose the extension code have to be recompiled against the latest LO 
code.
The extension was working well for LO 3.5 and (after some user data 
tweaking) also for OO 3.4
As this a huge handicap for all LO MySQL users i hope this minner 
compiling problem can been solved.

As i understood from Alex Thurhood,
For something to happen on Windows, it would require someone with the
dedication and knowledge to build AOO on that OS, and to know how to
re-integrate the build of the connector back into the build tree
(make/config files), because my understanding is that it has been ripped
out, unless there is just some magical configure switch that lets you
turn it back on again. 
this can been done but needs some knowledge, ltime and machine power ? I 
lack the knowledge, time and machine can been deliverd


Hope someone can helps

Will EPS in the future been exported as Vector Graphics ?

I know of no-one working on it; but it's a nicely self-contained task
to work on - writing an EPS import filter that would convert that to an
ODF graphic.


SVG still problematic when exported to PDF.

Right; I suspect it depends on how it is imported, whether as vectors,
or as higher-res bitmaps (for embedded objects).

i just inserted the famous Pingouin in a writer doc,  neither LO 3.5
and neither OO  3.4 do a correct export to pdf.

The SVG work is ongoing. If you insert an object in writer oyu will get
a bitmap, if you load it in draw then paste it in you'll get an editable
vector graphic; as/when we get the vector mode really good we'll drop
the bitmap mode.


I guess someone else would want to chip in here - but really, the best
place to ask is the users-list - this is not a development related
question about a code contribution.

Sorry, i hoped to find here a developer to produce the code ? and we are
candidate to sponsor this effort

Ah - so if you want to contract someone to do the work; it's good to
mention that :-) I guess there are prolly two things you could ask for -
you could (perhaps) use the WMF preview mode of EPS, and (if we don't
already) make the support for that work nicely in LibreOffice - that may
be a producer-side problem. You could also get an EPS -  ODF import
filter, which shouldn't be impossibly hard to get something quite
useful. I'd poke Lanedo, Credativ, Collabora, Codethink - that sort of
consultancy for a price - or perhaps someone here would like to jump on
that :-) I'd suggest thinking in the order of $10k+ - what is your

my budget is more 1k+ oriented :-)

budget ?


Either way sorry for the hassle; the hope is that the SVG rendering
will eventually get good enough that it will provide a good solution
here.

Will that been possible in the near Future ?

Nearness is affected only by the level of investment ;-) but in the
next six months I think it's unlikely.

All the best,

Is there a future for EPS vector graphics in LO ?

[Fernand Vanrie]

As EPS vector graphics are not correctly exported to PDF and also not 
correctly printed. (LO use the lowres pixel representation and not the 
EPS vector graphics), we need to make a decision on converting our EPS 
based Graphics Library to a convenient Vector Graphic format.

What will be the best choice ?
WMF or EMF are doing well as long there are no gradients in the graphics .
SVG still problematic when exported to PDF.
Are there other formats suitable for correct printing and exporting to PDF
Are there plans to make it possible to export EPS  to PDF ?

Thanks for any hints

No page and Columns boundaries in 3.5

Please make a simple option in Appearance to make the boundaries back

lost. I'm looking for a code sample where user's persistent 
configuration is manipulated (read and written) and/or anything that 
can be usefull, like search keywords, links to old threads in the 
mailing list, which would help me to identify some good practices 
(naming conventions, for instance).

Hi Fernand,

Thank you for your response, it may help indeed.

It seems that you create your own xcs file from scratch and store it

[Libreoffice] Memory tweaking Graphics Cache tot avoid crash after deleting a graphic

[Fernand Vanrie]

Can a developer  explain how the Memory tweaking for the Graphics Cache 
is working.


I found that LO 3.4 can crash after deleting a Graphic in a document who 
contains  many or  a few Big pictures.
We  replace LowResolution Graphics with HighResolutions just before 
final printing . When the document is Loaded with HighResolution 
graphics, then LO can crash when deleting a Graphic.

This do not happens with OO 3.3 !
I supose it happens when i delete a graphic on a page where the size of 
the graphic if bigger than the setting of the Memory per Object in the 
UI Graphic Cache settings.
PLaying with the Cache size and the size per Object can avoid the crash, 
but there is no clear line why and when it happens.


so:
whats the meaning of Use for LO (who is max 256 MB)
whats the meaning of Memory per Object (who is also max 256 MB)

There are already many Issues posted for related Graphic 
deleting-disapearing problems

Re: [Libreoffice] [PATCH] Display resolution in PPI with the original size on Picture/Crop (in Writer)

[Fernand Vanrie]

László and all developers involved,
Fine, it is a first step in better handling of images. But as I 
mentioded before, having the PPI out of the image file is a wrong 
concept. The needed/wanted PPI must been stored in the document. The 
image sizes must been calculated according to the pixels in the image 
and the PPI stored (as a printer intention) in the Document.


Greetz

Fernand

Hi,

This patch adds PPI resolution to the default image size data in the
Picture dialog (only for bitmap images), see the attached screenshot.

Explanation: LibreOffice supports explicite resolutions of JPEG/PNG
picture formats to set default image size, but this important data is
missing from the UI, so we cannot verify the picture quality.

Best regards,
László

PS. There are some old bugs in the default image handling in
LibreOffice, see the attached test file, but the most important
picture format (JPEG with equal explicite x-y resolutions) works well
(except the rounding error in the percent data, see 101% on the
screenshot). This patch helps to handle these problems, too.

com.sun.star.connection.Connector is for connecting to a running

Re: [Libreoffice] Oracle Report Builder corrupting chart objects

[Fernand Vanrie]

 Kohei,

Please, not option 3, ORB is the only descent way to have some  reports 
out of the Base app.


Greetz

Fernand

Hi there,

This is concerning the following bug report:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36339

where chart objects get corrupted pretty much 100% of the time for the
reporters and several others but was not initially reproducible on my
side.  It turned out that it was because my development build didn't
have Oracle Report Builder (ORB) installed, and installing this
extension made this bug 100% reproducible.  Chart objects get destroyed
on double-check after load, 100% of the time.  This is very very bad.
Since our release ships with Oracle Report Builder, this makes chart
editing totally unusable with the release version of LibreOffice.

The reason that chart objects get corrupted is simple.  When the chart2
code queries for the service name of UNO object that can save the data
from document of type com.sun.star.chart2.ChartDocument into XML, both
the default chart filter 'chart8' and the 'StarOffice XML (Base) Report
Chart' filter (the one from ORB) claim to handle it.  And because the
report chart filter comes first during the loop to look for a handler
ser, it gets picked.

During the export, this doesn't really cause a problem since the chart2
code appears to expect this and provides necessary functionality for the
ORB extension even through ORB itself doesn't have any code for this.
The only difference is that the chart content stream is now associated
with the application/vnd.sun.xml.report.chart mime type, instead of
the default application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.chart type.

This mime type difference, however, causes load failure during import,
and because the chart content stream is read *when* you double-click on
the chart object, *not* when the file is loaded, it blanks the chart
object when double-clicked for the first time, as described in the bug
report.

Now, 3.3 also had ORB installed by default, and it didn't cause this
problem.  When it saves a document with chart, it saves the chart object
using the opendocument.chart mime type, not the report.chart mime type.
So I assume that's the correct behavior.

Ok. So far I've described why the bug happens. Now the question is how
do we fix it?  There are several ways to fix this.

1. Promote the chart8 filter as the preferred filter for the
chart2.Document type.  This can be done by the attached
chart8-is-preferred-for-chart-document.diff patch.  This will ensure
that during the query for the right filter service type, the chart8
filter gets picked over the one from ORB.

2. Remove the type detection definition for the chart2.Document type
from the report builder itself.  This can be done by the
report-builder-dont-act-like-chart-handler.diff patch.  This will
prevent ORB from advertising itself as the chart filter provider.

3. Don't ship with Oracle Report Builder.  I hope I don't need an
explanation for this.

I think option 1 is pretty safe, but I don't really know if this would
cause any side effect in other, unexpected places.  For instance, the
latest ORB seems to claim some limited charting functionality, and this
may mess that up, or perhaps it may not.

I'm not sure how safe option 2 is, since I'm not too familiar with the
ORB code (all written in Java I might add...).  There may be some code
that relies on the chart filter provider inside ORB, but then there may
not.  I don't really know.

My preferred option is option 3.  Because, while I was test-driving ORB,
it crashed several times due to null pointer exception from the Java
code.  And when it does that, it takes the whole soffice process down
with it.  It doesn't appear to be very stable.  But then, maybe there
are users out there who appreciates this extension.  I don't really
know.  It would be nice to know the original motivation behind including
this extension.  Was there a high demand for this functionality?

Anyway, we need to decide on one of these options.  Feedback is
appreciated.

Kohei

Re: [Libreoffice] [REVIEW] Oracle Report Builder corrupting chart objects

[Fernand Vanrie]

Michael, Others,

In our Compagny, editing house, we uses OO and LO as the one and only 
application. Base is here used as a frontend for getting data out of 
flat-text-datbases and MySQL. Data we need to produce documents  in 
Writer, Calc etc... For producing reports we found ORB pretty stable, so 
please keep LO-Base-ORB at least at the current OO level

Thanks

Patch looks great to me :-) can we get that into -3-4 and get some more
reviews for -3-4-0 ?

Did you manage to play with the ORB chart feature ? I would strongly
prefer a potential, transient breakage there, than an ODF
incompatibility that will create broken files when we save ;-)

cause any side effect in other, unexpected places.  For instance, the
latest ORB seems to claim some limited charting functionality, and this
may mess that up, or perhaps it may not.

Well - it sounds like the ORB is pretty messy anyway :-) so ... can it
really make it much worse if it crashes the whole app left and right ?


My preferred option is option 3.  Because, while I was test-driving ORB,
it crashed several times due to null pointer exception from the Java
code.  And when it does that, it takes the whole soffice process down
with it.

And for those complaining about the idea of removing ORB altogether:
doing some work to help out improve the stability of the implementation
sounds like it would be a good plan. Rather than just wishing it was
better, we need (new) developer resource applying to fixing it, with a
set of clearly filed and isolated bug reports - preferably with the Java
stack-frames that can come from the console (I think), and so on. If the
functionality is extremely sub-standard, and creates the risk of
data-loss for its users, then we may well want to disable it - or make
it 'experimental'. just reverting a commit is not an easy thing to do
- it requires first finding the problematic commit, also there are a lot
of interlocking pieces in most such piles of software :-) so again, real
developer resource is required: that can be grown out of sweat  tears
from technical QA guys digging deeper - or preferably from interest from
those who most need / use the feature.

ATB,

Michael.

Hi,

I am involved in a project that develops a few extensions (mostly in Java)
for OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice, and I would like to find a way to make
an extension detect in which of these two office suites it is installed. I
have not been able to find this in API documentation or elsewhere. Can you
give me a hint?

(Background: each of the extensions work in both OOo and LibO, but two of
the extensions can't be used together in LibO 3.3.)

Best regards,

Christophe

That sounds really nice. The Media Player already understands flv files,

Somehow I got a flv file added to the document with All files as

Re: [Libreoffice] Tools - Media Player

[Fernand Vanrie]

Christoph,

Thanks for the reply, please find my comments in the text

,

No we are not placing video in odt, files, but our editors (while there
are working in writer), needs to see some video content as a source
for there work.

Wow, that seems to be a very special case - so from my side, if the menu
I think it is not so special to play some video content while writing 
some comments, tranlations etc...on it

item can be added manually (afterwards), then it should be fine for most
Why moving away some  functionality, (who will finaly been forgotten) on 
a sub-menu (they are invented for this purpose, no ? )

of the users. Of course, this might add some burden on your and your
editors, but most of the other users do have some benefit ...

Sorry, i do not see any benefit in hiding, removing some functionality ?

maybe this
is some kind of compensation? ;-)


But we would like to add some
video content to our Writerfiles and then transfer them to Epup or
interactive PDF's

As far as I understand, that's still possible.
Yes we can add some sound video content to our writer Documents, but 
this is useless, because the Sound and Video are consumed on the net 
(HTML5) and on the Ipads (Epub and/or PDF). We must  sea Writer as a  
one stop tool to produce multi-media content . In the begining we made 
our HTML from in Writer, later  we could make some interactive PDF's , 
now we have to make Epub, and HTML5 to keep up with the latest 
multi-media developements.



By the way, if I can help here ... please let me know.
Thanks,  you can help to convince our developers to make it posible to 
Export writer documents to PDF, Epub and HTML5 with Sound and Video 
included.

The only downside
is, that I'm still not that responsive as I would like to be :-)

In such cases like Media Player use (especially in the not too far
future), it would be nice to set up the usage data collection for
LibreOffice. Then we might track the use for our product, since the
OOo data gets old quickly ...

Cheers,
Christoph

customizing the menu. And I've enabled Media Player for web by default
as this make really sense.

Oooh - that seems like a fun feature :-) I wonder if we could get video
into PDF files.

Actually, I believe we should prolly work on getting them into ODF
files first :-) currently (AFAIR) we only have lame file-system links in
documents rather than embedding the media content we want.

Might make quite a nice 'easy hack' though for someone that wants to
try to plug some avmedia streaming interface into vcl's PDF export
magic.

That's possible. But for writer and calc the background calls are gone.
So it won't work.

There's another entry button of the media play in the customized toolbar
set. So I think this would also not work based on the context?


Maybe I re-enable them, so someone could still
customize his menus with Media Player enabled.

This would be perfectly acceptable in my personal opinion. We don't actually
know who will use the stand-alone player in other apps rather than impress, I
mean it depends on the end users' personal favour and habits.  So IMHO, we
should be cautious to *totally* take out an existing feature.

Re: [Libreoffice] Tools - Media Player

[Fernand Vanrie]

Thomas ,

No we are not placing video in odt, files, but our editors (while there 
are working in writer), needs to see some video content as a source 
for there work. But we would like to add some
video content to our Writerfiles and then transfer them to Epup or 
interactive PDF's

I partially reverted the changes for writer. The background calls are
there again, so anybody who needs Media Player could add this by
customizing the menu. And I've enabled Media Player for web by default
as this make really sense.

Fernand, only for my personal interest: are you using videos in odt
files? Maybe I'm not knowing what's possible with this ;)

Re: [Libreoffice] An image editing extension for writer

[Fernand Vanrie]

Michael,

I agree with your comments, specialy to make this tool available to 
other than Writer.
But can you have a look at a important OO and LO 's weakness: there is 
no way to make some Print Intentions par Document. When placing a 
Graphic, we need to know what resolution is needed to reproduce a grahic 
on a certain device(screen laserprinting, offset tect...). Actual, OO 
and alsoo LO got this information from the GraphicFileHeader, what is  
wrong concept, the author of a graphic or picture do not know under what 
conditions his work will been shown or printed.
So we need to set par Document this Printer Intentions, and i do not 
know if this properties can been placed in the ODF format ?

Wow :-) there are some great features here - and lots of good work. I
love the effort you've put in :-)

Personally - (as other people have mentioned) - I would love to have
much of this functionality integrated into every LibreOffice copy we
ship. We have a number of these features already present in the
'Picture' dialog in writer (crop, flip and so on) - but these are not
present in calc and draw/impress (as far as I recall) which is sad.

This is sweet :-) there was a chunk of work done by a GSOC student,
that needs completing around the gallery - to allow clipart images to be
downloaded; and I suspect that this integration would build on top of
that really nicely: are you interested in helping to complete and expand
that work ?


You need Java Run Time (JRE) in order to use this product

And of course; we'd tend to prefer things written in C++, and
integrated into the core (as has been discussed).


As this is my first step towards this wonderful and giant Open source
developing community ,I will be really glad if you can hit me back
with any feed backs .Please comment on the above pages mentioning any
drawbacks/bugs/improvements .

So - first - be encouraged :-) it looks like a fun extension to have
written, and a testament to your progamming skill. Of course, from a
user-experience perspective, I think we want to focus on improving the
integrated feature set, rather than providing (better) duplicates
outside - having two ways to do everything: one better, one worse in the
product just confuses people :-)

Thanks !

Michael.
