[libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
Yes, the available API could be used for signing AND verification. And also, as I learned today, MS also offers a non .NET set of APIs for C and C++ developers. The Windows 7 Packaging feature is a set of COM-based API that provides support for accessing, modifying, and saving packages by using C and C++. - (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371623.aspx) (from: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dmahugh/archive/2011/04/19/libopc-version-0-0-1-released.aspx) Historically, there have been two popular .NET APIs for Open XML development: System.IO.Packaging (which first appeared in .NET 3.0) and the Open XML SDK, released in early 2007. There’s also a COM-based native packaging API available for non-.NET Windows developers. Aside from this, some enthusiasts began working on a open source component for working with OPC container named libopc. They also wrote a LibreOffice extension for working with MS formats as an alternative to the LO native support for MS formats. It could turn out an interesting project.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF
Actually it's related to my observation that the problem seemed to be related to the use of an *.oxt spellchecker. I've found some time yesterday to try to locate the problem using the suggestions I've received via this thread earlier. I uninstalled the 3.3 version of the suite and installed the Libre office 3.4.3 on my machine. Again with the received suggestions in mind just before the installation of version 3.4.3 I've noticed that there are still files and folders related to the program after the uninstall - a folder called Libre Office in C:\Users\my username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice and a folder Libre office in Program files (x86). There where also some entries in the registry too. I've removed them all installed Libre Office 3.4.3 and tried to export the document as *.pdf this time there where no problems at all. At this point I've thought that the initial problem was solved and that it was related to some files left from older versions of the program. Since I'm from Bulgaria I need spell checker for Bulgarian which is not present in the multilanguage version of the suite so through the extension manager I've installed an *.oxt dictionary for Bulgarian language downloaded from ooo support. Just of curiosity I've tried to export the document as *.pdf again and the program immediately crashed. Than i renamed the folder called 3 in C:\Users\my username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice and tried again to export the file. This time the process went smooth with no crashes, errors or whatsoever. I've re-renamed the forlder to 3 and again tried to export the file and the program had crashed. I've noticed something interesting I've attempted to export the file as PDF/A-1a, and the process went smooth with no crashes. So finally I think the issue is related to the installed *.oxt dictionary. I've downloaded another one from a website called libreoffice-na.us but the result was the same if the file is not exported as PDF/A-1a the program crashes. At this point Tom made the suggestion that maybe it's worth for me to join the Bulgarian List to see if they have a better dictionary till the problem is resolved. Anyway it really seems that the issue is a bug worth mentioning. And now my question is is there going to be solution for the problem in the next versions of the suite? Best reagrds!

You are clearly using windows. I don't know which one but why don't you try to restore your system to the point before the uninstall of the suite via system restore. If it doesn't help, or if you disable it, try to delete the program folders and than run regedit, remove all the entries named LibreOffice restart and try to install the program again.

Hi :) This appears to be a duplicated thread. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Problems-while-trying-to-reinstall-LO-3-4-3-td3339161.html#a3341032 The problem got sorted in the duplicate by using this advice from Earl an excellent free replacement and far superior to MS' Add/Remove, IMO. You can download it at the link below and install just like any other app. After clicking the link, be careful to not choose the 30-day free trial of the Pro version -- you don't really need it..well, unless you're needing to put your wallet on a diet. :-) Instead, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the FREE download button. Works great on Win-XP and Vista. If your OS is otherwise, check requirements at the link before downloading.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Fwd: Libre Office 3.4.2/3.43 crashing on saving as PDF
Hi :) The C:\Users\my username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user contains your settings, extensions, spell-checkers, galleries and all that so re-naming the 3 one forces LibreOffice to make a whole new set of settings. It also hides your extensions, spell-checkers and stuff. When you un-install LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and Thunderbird Firefox work the same way too) that config folder is left on your machine because it's likely that they contain things you might still want to have access to at some point, eg back-ups of documents, pictures and so on. It is meant to make it easier to upgrade the program as the newer release will find your old settings, dictionaries and so on so you don't need to re-download and reinstall all that. Settings that might cause problems almost always get overwritten so you might find a few changes. I have even had scenarios where i have been able to install an older version of a GnuLinux operating system, reinstalled an older version of my web-browser and then opened the web-browser to find it remembered all my tabs and even had a half-filled in form still there! Not quite what i had expected and not something i would rely on! So keeping the path C:\Users\my username\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice intact is often very useful but there shouldn't have been anything left in the Program Files folder afaik. The Windows registry is notoriously problematic even the experts tend to leave it alone or get their fingers burned and to make it worse a lot of programs that claim to fix it are actually malware. It's interesting to hear the PDF/A-1a option actually helps because so far it only seems to have caused problems, not fixed them! It is good to hear soemthing positive about it for a change :) Thanks and regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fwd-Libre-Office-3-4-2-3-43-crashing-on-saving-as-PDF-tp3335166p3341537.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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: docx format troubles
Hi :) If you were able to ring-fence about 20% of the features of MS Office then about 80% of users never stray outside that. From what i see it's more like about 100% of users. Most users don't even use all of that 20%. People that are more likely to know and might even have read studies suggest it's more like 90% of users only use 10% of the features. It would be great to have a study about this but it's difficult to avoid bias. Leading questions and assumptions or misunderstandings by users. Various guys think they always uses the most sophisticated new features but in fact never do some even block newer or more advanced features because of the 'problems' they have caused. Still, i agree with the rest of the project (outside of the Users List) that we need to be better at both read writes of the newer MS formats just to hold on to the share of the market we have at the moment let alone try to increase that. It's not a surprise to hear that a University that might normally champion intellectual freedom and freedom of speech is so clueless or mis-informed about a computer related issue that they end up forcing people into supporting a big profit-making company. Normally if a university recommends a product they will have received funding or some other good deal from the company. In this case the university is probably not getting anything like that. It would be nice if TDF could form a team that does what MS do and goes out to put our side of the story out to selected companies and such-like.

I just checked into every file of the Bulgarian dictionary .oxt file. Have you seen - microsoft-cp1251 referred to instead of UTF-8 or other standard language codes? Could that be a problem with the Bulgarian dictionaries? The files use the microsoft-cp1251 reference on the top of most of the files. On other non-Latin based languages, I see UTF-8 Russian language uses KOI8-R. I have checked with a few others and not one uses the Microsoft reference. They all use non-MS and universal language indicators I have seen with web page and other documents.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
I believe those APIs are for OOXML packages, not the binary formats. It could be that they also work on the binary formats (.doc, .xls, ...), but I would be a little surprised if that were the case. This has me wonder if digital signatures are even available on the binary formats (.doc, .xls, ...). To confirm that they are (perhaps): I created a document in Word 2010 and then inserted a signature line. This is an inserted block where a recipient is expected to review and then sign the document. The signature is then protected as a digital signature. I saved it as a .doc When I opened it, there is a notice on the top that says This document needs to be signed. The View Signatures button showed me that there is a requested signature from Dennis E. Hamilton. I clicked the option to sign it as Dennis E. Hamilton. I typed my name into the signature line field, and clicked Sign. This had the document marked as final too. Then when I clicked to see signature details, it says valid XAdES-EPES signature. Wow, and it shows that I signed with a certificate issued to orcmid that is valid from 2011-03-03 to 2111-02-07. Hmm, this is a self-issued certificate that the operating system gave to me. When this .doc is opened in LibreOffice, it is as if I had never signed it, and the text I typed in for my signature is also missing in the signature block. I could find no way to have a .doc signature that was on the document the way that LibreOffice signs ODF documents. It could be that I didn't know where to look, but the signing in Word seems wildly different from signing in LibreOffice. -Original Message- From: draganb [mailto:d_bocev...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 00:18 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents Yes, the available API could be used for signing AND verification.

List Post Echoing (was RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Help)
I am changing the subject - should have done that long ago. Short answer: Whether a list service send out new posts to every e-mail subscriber or suppresses those back to the originator of a new post is a function of the list service software and available settings. It has nothing to do with the e-mail system that is used to send the post, so long as it is sent by e-mail. Whether something else happens in your e-mail client is independent of what the list-service does with e-mailed posts it receives. - Dennis LONGER NARRATIVE Whether you see your own posts echoed by an e-mail list in your inbox has nothing to do with how they are sent to the list. You see the posts on the lists here if you are a subscriber. There may be options on the list to not echo posts from the sender back to the subscriber, but that is not the default for *this* list. Also, if you as a sender have been moderated as acceptable to the list, whether or not you have subscribed, your posts may appear on a list but not echoed to you (because you are not a subscriber). I don't know if this list is moderated that way. A list that I moderate does allow me to approve senders who are not subscribers, so their posts don't have to go through moderation after that. Finally, some lists allow subscribers to not receive any e-mail from the list, especially if you have to be subscribed to send. Then the way you read the list is via the web interface to the list archive or by using a tool like GMANE, perhaps. If you use the web interface on this list to post a message, you are not using your e-mail client at all. As far as I know, every e-mail subscriber, including yourself, will receive the post that the list sends out to all subscribers, when the post is made using the web-browser interface of this list. Everything above is totally about what the list service might or might not do. Now about the sending e-mail system: Whether your e-mail client retains its own copies of what you send somewhere is independent of that. I have my e-mail client file replies in the same folder as the message I am replying to. So I will see the reply that I sent and I will see that same message echoed on the list itself (because of rules I have set for incoming mail from this list). I use the first copy, of what I sent and which shows up as soon as I do a send of my outbox contents, as a reminder of what I am waiting for. That is part of my e-mail ritual. Sometimes, I keep the original that was sent because the list server modifies the formatting of the ones it sends out (say, by forcing fixed maximum line lengths and word-wrapping, something that, if this list did, would stop NoOp from yelling at me, though the service doesn't know how to change a top post to any-thing else [;). I could have the reply that I sent simply be in my send-mail folder, but I would still receive the version that was sent to list subscribers by the list. It is conceivable that mail services might suppress what are obviously returns of messages that were originated by the account receiving them. That is pretty freaky. I hope it doesn't really happen that way. I don't believe it happens for Brian, because if it did he would have no expectation of receiving echoes from any lists. He is also not using a gmail address (though he could still be using gmail as a sender). There are many places where e-mail and list-service protocols act on the mails sent from our outboxes in the chain of actions that has the list send posts to subscribers and that has subscribers receive posts in their inboxes. Some components in this process can inject inappropriate actions that have unintended consequences, simply because someone did not respect all of the distributed variations and fixed something in the wrong place. Folklore about what is happening arises easily, because most of us never see what happens from one end to the other, and think that everyone sees incoming messages the same way, the way it was seen when it was sent. It doesn't work like that. And, in general, it is not possible for a sender to anticipate all of the variations of what folks will see when a single list post is sent. Likewise, what a recipient sees need having little to do with what other recipients might see. So it goes. -Original Message- From: Sigrid Carrera [mailto:sigrid.carr...@googlemail.com] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 00:08 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Help Hi Brian, *, On Fri, 16 Sep 2011 02:10:14 +0100 Brian Barker b.m.bar...@btinternet.com wrote: At 12:01 15/09/2011 -0700, Tom Davies wrote: The list is quite sophisticated enough to avoid sending you messages that you write.

Hello, I am running LO-Base on LO 3.4.3 with MySQL accessed through ODBC on Debian-Wheezy. When I enter data into a table where some columns have a default value defined (i.e., I do NOT actually enter ANYTHING into such colums but rely on the default value) this default value is actually entered correctly into the table. However, the default value is not shown on completion of data entry. Only when selecting the tuple afterwards do I see that everything is o.k. This only happens on my Linux system.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents
I can easily believe that the terms protection, signing, and save with password are easily confused. - Dennis DETAILS The digital signature case is quite different than Save with Password (which is done with password-based encryption, not signing). Both are quite different from *Protection* of documents to be read-only entirely or in part (but not requiring a password to open and read). Protection is most commonly encountered in spreadsheets used as forms so that the user of the form does not inadvertently type in fields that are not meant to be changeable. Protection can be locked with a password so that only the author can release it easily. (It is trivial to overcome by direct access to the XML of the ODF document, however, and protections can even be forged.) It is quite possible that protection does not pass across from Microsoft Office documents to LibreOffice (and back). One important difficulty is that the hash used to authenticate a password for releasing a protection is computed differently on the two systems, so the password simply won't work in both places. There are solutions to that, but I haven't seen any being used. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Tom Davies [mailto:tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 11:59 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Digital signing MS format documents Hi :) Are you sure that's not a password rather than a signature?

Hi All, Base worked well for me in Windows since it was created while I was running Windows, and for two years in Ubuntu until the Java for Linux was updated from 1.6.0_22 to 1.6.0_24 last spring. At that point Base became almost unusable. In a database with 2500 records, instead of going from the first record to the last record in about 1 second, the time became 25 to 30 seconds. When I looked at CPU usage. 1 core would be running at 100% during this time. Java 1.6.0_26 then came out, and the same problem existed. About 5 weeks ago someone started a thread titled something like Base runs unacceptably slowly. One person left a post stating that in Linux you can have more than one version of Java installed at the same time and left the following instructions: Overview: 1. Download the JRE archive (approx. 20 mb) 2. Extract in /tmp 3. as root, copy the extracted directory to /usr/lib/jvm 4. set this JRE as the JRE of choice in LO (ToolsOptionsJava) 5. Exit LO restart Instructions: 1.Download jre-6u21-linux-i586.bin (for i386) or jre-6u21-linux-x64.bin for x86_64 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u21-b07-oth-JPR JRE archive at ORACLE . Save to /tmp . Open Terminal and enter cd /tmp. Then do the following commands: 2.run it using: sh jre-6u21-linux-i586.bin . The JRE is now extracted to /tmp/jre1.6.0_21/ 3. copy to /usr/lib/jvm sudo cp -a jre1.6.0_21/ /usr/lib/jvm 4. Exit restart office. In ToolsOptionsJava, choose 1.6.0_21. Exit restart office 5. Load you Base file compare the speed. If you want to remove it simply set the JRE back to the old one in ToolsOptionsJava sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_21/ This does not replace your current Java install in your browsers, or even show up in synaptic package manager. But it does show up as being available for LibreOffice. This solved my problem totally. 1.6.0_21 works very fast with Base. I haven't worried about security problems since the browsers are using the current versions, there isn't any plugin installed for 1.6.0_21 for the browsers, and also since it doesn't show up in synaptic. Does that mean there are not any risks? I don't know, but I would think any risk would be minimal. The reason I think this might be your problem is because you have the same issue with CPU usage that I did.

I find an aweful lot of backup files in /home/rainermusik/.libreoffice/3/user/backup. All of them have a filename something like rmodbc.odb_9777.odb and are of 0 (zero) size. I wonder what's wrong. Regards H. Stoellinger And what happens if you turn off auto backup? Hi All, Base worked well for me in Windows since it was created while I was running Windows, and for two years in Ubuntu until the Java for Linux was updated from 1.6.0_22 to 1.6.0_24 last spring. At that point Base became almost unusable. In a database with 2500 records, instead of going from the first record to the last record in about 1 second, the time became 25 to 30 seconds. When I looked at CPU usage. 1 core would be running at 100% during this time. Java 1.6.0_26 then came out, and the same problem existed. About 5 weeks ago someone started a thread titled something like Base runs unacceptably slowly.

[libreoffice-users] Does Libre Office have merge codes?
I am VP of a rocketry club. I'm trying to convert my WordPerfect files to Libre Office. I've automated a lot of functions with WordPerfect's merge codes. I am trying to find similar functionality in Lebre Office. For those who don't know what WordPerfect merge codes are I'll attempt to explain. I have many mail merge documents. Those documents look at values in database field to decide what to do. For instance, it uses the birth date, compares it to today's date to calculate how old some one is then choose from a table what the correct membership fee is. That membership fee is put in the document. Is there similar functionality in Libre Office? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Does-Libre-Office-have-merge-codes-tp3343602p3343602.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
