[libreoffice-users] Slow Calc Macros
I did a python macro that adds sheets, renames them and fills in some formula in select cells. It also has a portion that deletes the sheets. I find that the sheet creation runs faster although there's more lines of code running. Whereas the sheet removal macro is just 2lines and runs 3-5times slower. Both routines use 'FOR' loops (the creating routine even has a nested loop). What could be responsible? Does calc recalculate for each removed sheet? Can that feature be toggled off via macro just before the removal loops ...and toggled back on?

Do you want to read it or set it?
Can you provide a code snippet?
my window is a dialog box. how could i get to it's component that implements
xfont?
I have never tried it... The real question, however, is. Do the font
descriptors available from a container window provide the interface that you
desire? I assume that the font descriptor is not control or window dependent.
If you are able to determine the font that will be used by the control, is it
possible to then find the font descriptor. I have never pursued this (and I do
not have time now because I must be somewhere in a matter of minutes).
thanks andrew,
i've tried your suggestion on the forum, and could enumerate the font
descriptors of the current doc.
but i'm interested in dialog controls.
few of them feature labels. they have the FontDescriptor and few other relevant
fields and methods (obviously an interface they implement).
and they obviously really use some font to render these labels.
as i said, my problem was that the FontDescriptor shows empty info.
what i can assume is, since i don't specifically set the font, the system font
is being chosen. but in this case, the descriptor of the system font should be
stored there, shouldn't it?
however i think this is a bug, i'd like to go around it, by setting myself the
system font descriptor in the FontDescriptor field of the control or any other
way.
please advice on how could i obtain the system font.
and' on how could i set the font of a dialog/control.
thanks in advance,
alex

Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base
Hi Tom, I've been a Base user for 7 or 8 years. As soon as Base came out I switched to it. I had first used a DOS based database, then Access, then Paradox, and then Base. For my needs, Base works very well. I used the guide from OpenOffice, Getting Started With Base to get things setup The present version can be found here, as well as other helps: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Database There are several small bugs in Base that are more of an annoyance than anything else. It is super fast (now that the Linux Java workaround has been found), and it is much easier to share the data between my computers than it was with Paradox. While they might not have developers working on it, there isn't anything I need to have changed. The mail merge with writer works perfectly. I've never lost any data. So even if there are not any developers working on it, I feel it is a worthy program/application. Anytime I've had an issue of needing to know how to do something, I've always been able to find an answer with on-line searches.

[libreoffice-users] Re: how to select extension dictionary for spellchecking
Hi, Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base
Hi Guys, Another option if you are migrating from windows is to establish a VirtualBox that runs Windows and install Office on this. You can also do this on VMWare, although I find VirtualBox a lot faster. The Windows Platform on the VM have samba shares mapped as network drives and they are blissfully unaware that the data being accessed are on my Ubuntu filesystem. Data can be readily manipulated in a Microsoft Windows package and Linux-based package at practically the same time. VMWare also provides tools to bundle your windows box into virtual machine, although I found this carried over too much 'baggage'. I just created an empty VM using VirtualBox and reinstalled Windows and Office. On 05/08/11 00:14, Don C. Myers wrote: Hi Roberto, Access will not run natively in Linux. I run Ubuntu 11.04 presently.

Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base
Hi :) It's good to hear some success with Base. I think it might help to have a lot of trivial issues amongst the bug-reports to help potential new devs learn their way into the code. The key word there is might. The documentation team would appreciate any help with consolidating various guides they have found and perhaps others into something like the state of the guides for the other apps but it's a major challenge because Base is unpredictably quirky between one release and another.

As soon as Base came out I switched to it. I had first used a DOS based database, then Access, then Paradox, and then Base. For my needs, Base works very well. I used the guide from OpenOffice, Getting Started With Base to get things setup The present version can be found here, as well as other helps: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Database There are several small bugs in Base that are more of an annoyance than anything else. It is super fast (now that the Linux Java workaround has been found), and it is much easier to share the data between my computers than it was with Paradox. While they might not have developers working on it, there isn't anything I need to have changed. The mail merge with writer works perfectly. I've never lost any data. So even if there are not any developers working on it, I feel it is a worthy program/application.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7
Hi :) Try getting back to factory defaults by changing the name of the config folder for LibreOffice. Look in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Path to find where the folder /user/3 is Then navigate to that folder and right-click to rename it. I usually rename things to a reverse date name making it /user/2011-08-04 (-mm-dd) today so that i can tell when those backups were made and which is the most recent. LibreOffice will create a new folder but all your extensions and stuff will be safely in the folder you made so you can copy sub-folders back into the new one to regain settings, galleries, templates and things. It's better than a reinstall as it keeps everything you have built-up even tho you have hidden it all from LibreOffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: how to select extension dictionary for spellchecking
So you are saying that the British English use of -ise instead of -ize is a new thing that is just a new way of spelling words that have been around, a new localized [or is it localised] way? I use American English which spells colour as color. But this is the first time I have heard of the -ise/-ize issue. Well they always say language involves. Take English in Britain about 500 years ago. The same words, but different spellings. So should I dump en_GB in favor en_GB-oed version? Should I not include en_CA or en_GB[oed] in my dictionary list in the USA? I know that one .oxt dictionary add-on that includes many different English files. Should people not use that type? en_GB-oed .dic file has 46,113 words in its word list. The Wiki page shows analyse in en_GB-oed and analyze in en_US. Well in the oed .dic file I cannot find analyse. Below is the word list where that word should be located, but it is not. ample/PT amplification/M anarchy/3Ww1SM anastigmatic Andaman/M aneroid Anglican/MS I found the word analyse in the en_GB .dic file dated 2010-02-15 analyze in the en_CA .dic file dated 2010-02-15 but neither spelling in the en_GB-eod version dated 2005-06-13. So the eod version has not kept up with what the Wiki page link shows for Oxford English. Of course, you could always edit a word list and keep only the spellings that Oxford English excepts. As I understand, the complete Oxford dictionary contains 20 volumes/books to hold all the words and definitions. I have a word list of over 200,000 words, but would you want to have a word processor spell checker dictionary with all those words, or only the ones you really want to use? The more words in the list, the more chances that your misspelled words are correct spelling for a different unwanted word. There is not good way around it, except edit your word list to remove the words that are not spelled correctly for your localized version of the language.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Hi :) A clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 should do the trick. Going for a dual-boot or multi-boot is a lot easier than it sounds.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Ubuntu just blows. It's going to get worse, not better with time. They have an overriding design constraint which ensures disaster. MUST FIT ON ONE CD. This leads to forcing shared images on things which SHOULD NOT use them and a boat load of untested code in each release. God forbid you ever try and install the KDE desktop with your default Gnome desktop. Less than half of everything will continue to work. Absolute zero multi-desktop testing occurs because they bust things up. With OpenSuSE 11.4 I can switch between KDE and GNOME on a whim and know it was all tested.

[libreoffice-users] LO corruption
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 About a week ago, I asked this list for help and got what I needed to further investigate a situation I'm having with calc. I've now determined that my problems are due to corruption of the calc sheet. Further, I believe its calc itself that's doing it. Case in point. My buttons were shrinking randomly, but in a somewhat predictable fashion. Random as in I couldn't be certain when it would happen, but predictable in that when it happened it was done in a reasonably consistent way. Using code that Andrew supplied, I dumped the shapes on each involved sheet expecting 4 items. The first sheet had 1524 shapes of which 1520 had a control=null. The remaining 4 were my real buttons and were scattered among the debris. Common sense says I didn't manually create and somehow abandon 1520 shapes. I had absolutely no code that tried to create or manipulate the buttons, so Sherlock Holmes would deduce that OO / LO did it. I only used the IDE to create these 4 buttons on the first sheet and then copied them to 20 other sheets using cut and paste within the IDE. The remaining sheets all had far lesser amounts of rubbish, but not one sheet had only the 4 buttons it was intended to have. I wrote code to remove the dead ends. It worked like a charm. I saved and reacquired the spreadsheet and then all the buttons were gone on all 21 sheets. I repeated the process several times all resulting in the same outcome. I also wrote code to reinflate my shrunken buttons to their required size. Again, the code worked perfectly and I traversed each sheet to make certain all was well. After a save and restart of LO, I get a bogus password error part way through loading the spreadsheet and the whole thing won't load. The spreadsheet is not password protected, so where did a password come from? On a damaged but working spreadsheet (shrunken buttons), if I move a sheet from one position to another, or attempt to delete a sheet, all is well during that session, but a save and LO reload fails, again with some internal bogus password error half way through the loading process. When LO was OO, I tried repeatedly to have knowledgeable people look at this sheet as it has developed numerous anomalies over the 6 years I've been developing and using it. It is a laboratory full of LO issues that need to be addressed as to how these things could have happened, but I could never get anyone's attention. I'm a professional programmer (operating system internals) and can smell logic errors in the application. The main line works well, but I suspect that bugs exist in the more obscure portions of the code base. Lets face it, it takes computer power to create 1520 dead end objects and I didn't write any such code. Every few months I suck out my 9000 lines of macro code and redevelop the spreadsheet shell it fits within to get rid of the accumulated rubbish. There are almost no formulas anywhere, as I just use the sheet as a convenient GUI. My macros do all the work. Why did I write this email? It was therapeutic for me, and I hope someone in LO calc development will take me up on my offer to supply and help debug strange occurrences as they occur. Short of that, I'm going to have to rewrite this as a web app with a compiled back end.

Hi Hirono, I use LO on Ubuntu 10.04. I also get the described behaviour but only when I have not restarted LO. The first time I opened LO and reproduced your steps it worked exactly as you stated. I closed LO and opened it again and the 'default' was then Fit to Page I take it from my test that the configuration file is not updated in this instance until LO is restarted. Try changing the value of Tools - Options - Impress - Print - Page to Fit to Page then restart LO. What is the value when you restart LO Default or Fit to Page?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO corruption
Bill, I apologise if I am about to tell you something you already know and have considered, but have you thought about code page errors? As I read your account I kept thinking how reminiscent it was of the problems I recently encountered where I had a particular spreadsheet that caused the GUI and many other things to go haywire (e.g. buttons and toolbars moving, column being rendered out-of-sync, ever growing lines, etc). In the end I tracked it down to the use of the degrees sign (Alt-248 from the keyboard or Alt+0176 from the character map on XP; It is flagged as U+00B0 'Degree Sign'), inserted into a spreadsheet by a Visual Foxpro Program using Code Page 1252, then rendered on a Linux box using LO. It did not matter how the symbol got into the file - imported, cut and past, CSV import - all hell broke loose. If you remove the 'degrees' sign from the original file everything just worked. Insert the symbol, the problem appears again. The aberrant characters appeared to be acting as a control character being randomly parsed by LO/OO causing all sorts of problems. This may not be the problem in your instance but as I said this kept going through my mind as I read your thread. Maybe it is something to consider - either the data or macros may have been created in an unusual codepage that is confusing LO. That is to say it is expecting X and being given Y, and baulking at the result. I solved my problem by stripping all seen and unseen characters from the data by filtering them through text editors then reinserted in a clean file. This is how I noticed the degree sign changing to another character.

To answer your direct question - no I never considered code page errors. I'll check it out. Everything was developed on flavors of Fedora Linux starting on OpenOffice and now running on LO. I've blown this spreadsheet away numerous times over the years, keeping only my macros and a map of all the named cells I use as anchors. I wrote macros to reproduce the named ranges as I did that so often. I'd use one machine to bring up the old trashed spreadsheet and query it for cell widths, heights, colors, etc to reproduce the same sheet on another machine in a pristine environment. Add back my macros and go forward. That's a 2 day job of long tedious hours. Sometimes it would take months for something strange to start to happen, but it always does happen sooner or later. I'm not using any strange symbols. Its a simple POS system that accepts food orders, calculates costs, produces bills and receipts, does payroll, etc. Everything in it is mundane simple arithmetic and text. In the past, I hand massaged the xml files and pulled out huge sections of dead nested repetitive code. In one case I dropped the size of the .ods file by 110k worth of xml trash. I'm certain LO is not cleaning up after itself properly and leaving code droppings behind that cause this. I believe the IDE has some issues as it periodically does some strange things. On numerous occasions, I'd modify code in one module, switch to another module and make changes, save, reload and loose the first modules fixes. Infuriating! Am I supposed to remember to save for each module or should the IDE be smart enough to warn me I'm about to loose changes, or should it simply save everything when I say save? Something that trivial missing from the IDE says something. If you can insert a byte of data and cause LO to go berserk that only means it needs better insulation mechanisms to separate your data from its control codes. The developers should be thrilled to have you report finding a hole in their code so they can close it. If I as an end user can break it using only what was supplied to me to use, then the problem is in the LO product, and needs to be fixed. That's why I'm offering my help in supplying some pretty strange bugs and help in isolating and fixing them to the best of my ability.

First of all I am running openSUSE 11.3, KDE3.5, and LibreOffice 3.3.1 This is going to be a problem for an expert in LibreOffice. I have a document that I have had for years. Time to time I must open it, edit it and close it again. It is Libreoffice password protected. A few days ago I opened the fdocument and then after editing closed it agaim. The other night I tried to open it again and the password failed. Yes, I entered it correctly, several times. The same password works on other documents. Somehow the password changed or was corrupted for this particular document. Is there a config file somewhere that I can edit and fix the problem? Bob S Bob, My understanding is the ODT files with passwords are encrypted. You need to employ hacker-like software to 'guess' or crack your password. A quick search of Google shows a range of options like this one... http://www.intelore.com/openoffice-password-article.php That said, if you have typed that password many times it is more likely that the file has become corrupted. Look on the Internet for tools to recover corrupted ODT files. Maybe you could try and install the latest version of LO to see if that allows you to open the file - there are posts on the web that explain how the exact same issue seen in OO was solved by upgrading the package to the latest version. On trying to open the file the latest version of OO recognised that the file was corrupt and fixed it. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Website Administrator http://www.fossworkflowguides.com The fossWorkflow Guides (c) Simon Cropper CC-BY-SA 3.0 Australia http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/au/deed.en -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: how to select extension dictionary for spellchecking
So, would it be better to use the Oxford English or the British English form of spelling? Here in the USA, if we do not use proper American spelling our papers are rejected for sloppiness. I wrote colour once instead of color and the professor was upset with me. My 20 pound [weight] dictionary had the English spelling first, so I used it. I did not know better in those days before computer were smaller than a normal car or truck. So do we use en_GB or en_GB-oed as the default one for Queen and Country?

RE: [libreoffice-users] password problem
If the password is entered wrong, usually the first file that is decrypted with that password will fail a checksum check and there will be a pretty-immediate failure. If one of the files is corrupted, its decryption will fail the checksum check after some amount of decryption of other parts of the document have happened. It might still treat it as a password error, even though the password has been working until the particular part of the ODF document fails. If the software offers to attempt to recover, you should try it. (I suspect it is not designed to do that in this case.) One thing you can do with the file that fails is try to open it with a Zip utility and run a test on it. If the Zip tests all right, it means the corruption occurred during encryption, not later, during writing. If the Zip indicates any part of the document is corrupted, you might see if a Zip repair utility can help. The corruption could be in the key information rather than in the file (which would be very bad, since there is almost no way to recover if that is the case). If the corruption is in the file, the form of encryption used tends to limit mistakes (that is, things tend to go right again after a while). Because the decrypted file is a compressed stream inside of a Zip, decompression can also go off the rails. But it may be possible to recover whatever there is. But at this point, password recovery won't help because your password is not the problem. It takes some serious forensic tools to now attempt a recovery, and I don't know who might have those that work with the encryptions that are used for ODF documents. You may also be able to find a backup of the unencrypted file on your system. You should look for that. Also, if you can reconstruct from an earlier version of the file, that would be good. JeepNut was able to find a backup to recover a seriously-corrupted file (crash during save) in a post last Friday. Look in Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Paths and see where the Backups are in the list of Paths used by LibreOffice. You might also be able to find something in Temporary files (that's a stretch). - Dennis -Original Message- From: Bill Gradwohl [mailto:b...@ycc.com] Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2011 20:54 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] password problem -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 08/04/2011 08:44 PM, Bob Stia wrote: I have a document that I have had for years.
