Bug 63905 - printing with Draw/Impress
Hi all, I've been working on fixing fdo#63905 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63905) and came across a comment in the code ( http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/include/vcl/print.hxx#524) to the effect of Draw/Impress never using the page format specified in the Format - Page dialog for printing but instead using the paper size set by the printer (unlike Writer and Calc). The bug behaviour seems to back this up. I've only had a chance to test with a virtual printer so far, but changing paper size in the printer settings (as well as in Format - Page) allows the page to be printed to the correct paper size. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this bug and/or why this design decision was undertaken?

Re: [Libreoffice] FYI: Latest Oracle move wrt to OpenOffice.org
It's like throwing out the baby with the bath water - they're just throwing away so much experience. I certainly wouldn't want to be facing something the size of LO/OOo without a team who've had to deal with it before :) I'm fairly new to LibreOffice and contributing to FOSS but the community have been highly supportive of my questions and cluelessness. I am fairly shy online and not very confident in my coding skills but there is so much infrastructure geared toward getting newbies to contribute that it has been pretty much painless to just get straight into it despite the terrifying size of the project. I think that in part it's the people and in part it's the way things are being done. It seems a shame to waste an opportunity to integrate with a community with these advantages.

[Libreoffice] [GSoc] libvisio progress update
A git repository has been set up for the Visio project and I've gotten access rights to it - so for those of you wondering what the libvisio folder is, it's this project. We've gone with a heavily stream-based approach. Internal VSD streams are decompressed and are seekable and readable. For this, libwpd has been used as a base (WPXInputStream) as well as a source of utility functions (e.g. converting bytes to uints) that work with WPXInputStreams. Right now, the project is successfully reading the trailer (this is the compressed list of pointers to the other streams in the doc) and getting the stream pointers. Success is currently defined by manual comparison with what OleToy shows. The next step is figuring out which types of streams are useful and dealing with them appropriately.

[Libreoffice] [GSoc] Progress report - Visio import filter
Hi, Just an update on where I am. So far I've been working on the basics of extracting the data from the .vsd file. To read Visio files, the steps are roughly: 1. Get the interesting part (VisioDocument) from the OLE container. 2. Parse the header to get a pointer to the trailer stream (as well as version, length of file, etc.) 3. Inflate compressed trailer. 4. Parse out pointers in trailer to the various - potentially compressed - streams that hold the actual Visio document content. I've done 1 - 3. I'm using the WPXStream and its implementation from libwpd (WPXStreamImplementation.h herehttp://libwpd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libwpd/libwpd;a=blob;f=src/lib/WPXStreamImplementation.h;h=804453d910f537ffcf985a74ef34d6f25329d213;hb=HEAD) to read/extract OLE streams. The implementation of LZW-esque decompression of the trailer is translated from Python to C++ (i.e. shamelessly ripped off) from oletoy (thanks frob). I suspect most of what I'll be doing will be stand-alone for now - developing and debugging will be too slow if LO integration is included at this early stage. Once I've got a very basic parser, the callback interface discussed in my proposal will be implemented and integration with LO should in theory be relatively easy. Note to my mentor -- I've got a paper due for next Saturday so my main focus will be on that. I will, however, be spending some time on the next stage.

Re: [Libreoffice] Calc Standard Filter behaviour
I've attached patch for the (embarrassingly simple) fix for the filter dialog as well as a German comment translation patch for the filter dialog cxx and hxx files - feel free to reject this because my German is pretty weak or if you'd rather have a larger chunk done at once.

What I tried to say before I completely failed to use the mailing list properly was that I like this idea for a more advanced fix. It still notifies the user that these special values are available but it doesn't get in the way. It'd take quite a bit more difficult with a bit more involvement in libs-gui as far as I can tell but I wouldn't mind giving it a go if you still think it's a good idea. For now, the auto-complete function is simply disabled.

[Libreoffice] Calc Standard Filter behaviour
Hi, I'd like to work on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34898 as my first ever open source contribution but need some guidance to what the actual behaviour should be. Currently, when a minus symbol (-) is entered, the condition combo box is disabled and set to equals, regardless of the previous input. This is due to the auto completion on the value combo box kicking in and selecting the special - not empty - string. However, if the user overrides the auto complete with a valid value (e.g. -5), the condition box is re-enabled but stays on equals. I have a few possibilities for how it should behave: 1. Remember the original user-entered condition for each row in the filter and replace the = with it if the user enters a non-special value. 2. Don't accept the auto complete value as final until some other user interaction (e.g. the value combo box loses focus or the user clicks the OK button) occurs. Seems trivial but I don't want it to seem inconsistent. What would suit LibreOffice best? Also - is it best to discuss things like this here or on bugzilla?
