[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice write extremely slow to load document with lots of linked pictures
Hi, When I load an MS Word document containing a lot of linked pictures (all on wordpress.org) in LibreOffice it takes over 2 minutes to load. Loading the same document in MS Word takes a few seconds. The difference seems to be that LibreOffice is issuing at least four (and in some cases many more) WebDAV requests for each image, whereas MS Word does a single GET for each image. Each round trip to wordpress.org is taking up to 1s. Is this a known issue? Is there any way to turn off WebDAV in LibreOffice? Thanks.

[libreoffice-users] Data Pilot - external Data
Hello, I've been searching the documentation and the forums for a hint on the following questions: I am using the Pivot Table functionality of calc to analyse data in a MySQL Server. I've succeded in doing this on my own computer, by creating a base document, linked to the source server. My first question is as follows: I find this a little bit confusing: is there a way to directly link Calc to the SQL server via a DSN, like Excel does ? Secondly, i'd like to distribute the spreadsheet prepared on my computer to an range of users, so that they can just refresh the data in those spreadsheet from the source server. Therefore my second question is as follows: how can i minimize the installation work on the other users computers, for them to do this ? In Excel, that is very easy as you can just mail the spreadsheet that contains the source server's address. Is there a way just to distribute the base document containing the link to the server and the calcs ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] OpenOffice.org linkage
Hi :) This guide probably isn't hugely useful but it might be worth a glance through http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel I think that trying to get rid of OpenOffice is not quite as straight-forwards as it should be. It is probably a lot easier on Windows but on GnuLinux i have 'had' to use the package-manager to hunt down all the extra add-ons and bitsbobs to uninstall. I think on Windows all those types of things tend to be all together regardless of whether you want each bit or not. I'm not certain but if you have a package manager it's worth having a look at what it can find.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice write extremely slow to load document with lots of linked pictures
Let me get this straight. You are loading a document that has its images location online? Is there a specific reason for that option? To be honest, when I was using MSO in both industry and education, I never heard of that being done. From my point of view with working with documents that contain images, it would be better to have the images stored locally, instead of having to go online to deal with loading them. Now here is an option to look at that might help it a little. It involves the many pictures part of your description of the document. Go to ToolsOptionsMemory You will need to increase the Graphics cache options. Increase the Use for LibreOffice to its max of 256 MB. Increase Memory per object to 20 MB or more. Increase Remove from memory after to double the amount of time you think you will be spending on editing the document. Then increase the Number of objects to 10 or 20 more than the number of images you have in your document. This will help keep the images viewed and on your local system, instead of needing to go mack to the online source[s] to re-view the images withing you document. The load times may be reduced somewhat by this, hopefully. As for the single/multi GET part of the loading of the document, I have no idea what the internals are for LO. I just use it and make some English Dictionaries/Thesaurus extensions for it. .

[libreoffice-users] Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)
Platform: Win7 SP1 64-bit LibreOffice 3.4.3 release (though I have had this problem with OpenOffice and LibreOffice since I started using Win7) If I do File Open and open a document from there (which isn't in the default documents folder), then close LibreOffice, re-start it and do File Open again, it opens the location that I went to for the previous document. The same applies for the save dialog. My workaround at present is to enable 'use libreoffice dialogs' in Tools Options, but that is quite a feature-light UI in comparison. It doesn't matter whether I use Writer, Calc or Impress. Also, if I start by using Writer but close LO and move on to say Impress, then Impress remembers the path I last loaded/saved in with Writer. I've also seen this behaviour on more than one fresh install Win7 64-bit / OpenOffice / LibreOffice, and while I haven't tested it for this behaviour on every OS install I've done that includes Open/LibreOffice, on every one I've tested it, it had the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)
I wish to comment on this issue. It' more in the nature of how to design the UI rather than a defect in the Suite. I used MSO both in corporate environments and personally for many years. Rarely did I use M$'s My Documents as the storage location for any document. In MSO, it is My Documents that is the default location for any File Open or File Save operation. MSO insistence on having My Documents be the default location was a universal hindrance. We in IT constantly struggled to thwart it. The most we could do was redirect it to a networked share. It is not clear in Mike's posting what exactly he would like the behavior to be. I would hope Mike is not requesting the M$ paradigm. I prefer the existing behavior in LO.

[libreoffice-users] Success
I just had to say that the find/change feature in Libre Office and macros work great. In fact the thing I tried to do in Word 2007 didn't work near as well. Now I'm not knocking Word because I like it alot. I have some text documents where I need to extract some segment numbers from and I am able to do it cleanly and very fast using a couple of find/change operations in a single macro. So the everything is striped out leaving just the 3 digit number separated by commas. The whole operation of setting the macro up was faster in Libre Office and it seems there are more regex option available than I was able to find in Word. Anyway the bottom line is I am pleased.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)
Hi :) Errr, either Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 but sometimes Xp, all 32bit. In the Save or Open dialogue boxes there is a panel on the left that has either places or a tree/explorer/folders.

It' more in the nature of how to design the UI rather than a defect in the Suite. I used MSO both in corporate environments and personally for many years. Rarely did I use M$'s My Documents as the storage location for any document. In MSO, it is My Documents that is the default location for any File Open or File Save operation. MSO insistence on having My Documents be the default location was a universal hindrance. We in IT constantly struggled to thwart it. The most we could do was redirect it to a networked share. It is not clear in Mike's posting what exactly he would like the behavior to be. I would hope Mike is not requesting the M$ paradigm. I prefer the existing behavior in LO. Mike's suggestion about an option somewhere to control this behaviour? is very worthy. Some will like the My Documents paradigm; me, not so much. I most frequently use the Recent Documents list within LO. The 10 listed items there are just right historical coverage. Respectfully blustering, --David S.

The same applies for the save dialog. My workaround at present is to enable 'use libreoffice dialogs' in Tools Options, but that is quite a feature-light UI in comparison. It doesn't matter whether I use Writer, Calc or Impress. Also, if I start by using Writer but close LO and move on to say Impress, then Impress remembers the path I last loaded/saved in with Writer.

With a script would probably be the easisest way, by unzipping the OD* files and parsing the unzipped contents to seach for the Basic directory, deleting it, then rezipping the file ? Hi Alex, I was thinking it took a bit more then that and so I just tried it and yes. You need to make three changes. After unzipping the file you remove two directories: = Basic = Dialogs Then you need to edit the file manifest.xml in the META-INF directory. - remove all lines that reference basic or dialog. [They look something like] manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=text/xml manifest:full-path=Basic/Standard/script-lb.xml/ Then you re-zip and voila it works. If you leave out the last step the file will not open. HTH somehow, //drew Drew's method will work just fine if what you mean to do is to remove all macros contained in a document (as opposed to removing all references to macros from inside the document; in a button or an associated event, for example). See if you can make the document current and run this macro Sub RemoveAllContainedLibs Dim sNames Dim oLibs Dim i% oLibs = ThisComponent.BasicLibraries sNames = oLibs.getElementNames() For i = UBound(sNames) To LBound(sNames) Step -1 oLibs.removeLibrary(sNames(i)) Next oLibs = ThisComponent.DialogLibraries sNames = oLibs.getElementNames() For i = UBound(sNames) To LBound(sNames) Step -1 oLibs.removeLibrary(sNames(i)) Next End Sub -- Hi Andrew, Excellent - the only problem is, and it aint yours per so, is removing libraries from a document - at least with LibO 3.4.4 as that is what I tried it on - does not set the dirty flag for the documnet. So if you run the macro and close the document the change isn't saved...arrrgh. Yeah, I noticed that too. I considered changing the macro to set the document dirty (I think that I can do that), but, decided it was not worth the trouble to look up how to do it I upgraded to Fedora 16, installed LO 3.4.3, and then the next day they release 3.4.4 sigh. So that is the same version that I tested with as well. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- 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] Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)
Mike, I fully agree that it should be made as an optional behavior. I don't know how to submit that idea. As a feature request perhaps in Bugzilla?
