[libreoffice-users] Re: Incremental binary packages
Hi :) I am still using LibreOffice 3.3.2 and i am fairly sure quite a lot of other people are too. It still does everything i want and more. It still beats MS Office 2010 by quite a long way especially on lower spec machines and when i need to move images around smoothly in any direction. Even with the security issues around java i feel a LOT safer with an 'old' LO than i ever felt with a 'new' MS Office.

Mailing lists were around for really long time and they are pretty convenient for people who are used to them. But most of computer/Internet users these days are not. They like simple web interface of bulletin boards software (also called forums). They can't configure their e-mail software (even most web interfaces provide needed features) to move all traffic from specific source (mailing list) into separate folder. I think that they are just overwhelmed by whole new experience with mailing list. And this causes frustration... I know there is that Nabble gateway, but it seems that there may be two problems with it (I don't know if any is valid, since I don't use it): 1. registered people still get mails from mailing list, although they prefer to check for new messages themselves on webpage. 2. It is too hidden. On page http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing- lists/ classic mailing lists are exposed, while Nabble gateway is only mentioned. Perhaps this page should focus on Nabble gateway, while classic mailing lists addresses should be only mentioned (maybe moved to another page?).

Hi, A proper official forum such as most modern projects use (Firefox, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint and so on and on) would neatly avoid all sorts of recurring problems. Are you sure? :-D 100% sure. Mailing lists are perfect for collaboration in teams. They are totally inadequate for end user support. I did not intend to reinitiate the old discussion about having forums or not. I just wanted to express my doubts, that a forum would quoteavoid all sorts of recurring problems/quote. A forum would certainly not help against people, that manage to subscribe to a mailinglist, but won´t manage to unsubscribe, for some unexplainable reason.

[libreoffice-users] Unsubscribing from this list
Hello, in the last few days, we have been receiving numerous requests for unsubscription from this mailing list. Since we are a volunteer project, and each of us spends up to several hours per day to work on his tasks, pro bono, I would like to ask all of you to *READ* this message *IN ITS ENTIRETY*. Every mailing lists contains information on how to unsubscribe in the footer. In case you have problems with unsubscribing, there is also a website giving detailed information on what to do to unsubscribe. Its address is http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ At the bottom of this page, there is also a *HUMAN CONTACT* you can write to in case of troubles. Do *NOT* reply to *THIS* e-mail in order to be unsubscribed, and do *NOT* drop me a private mail. It will *NOT* work. Rather *READ* the above page thoroughly, and in case it does not solve your problem, you can drop an e-mail to the contact mentioned there. Way over 95% of all unsubscription problems are not related to any malfunction of our mail system or of spam filters triggering in error. We can confirm - we've researched each and every case - that nearly all unsubscription problems simply occur because people do not *READ* the instructions we give.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to migrate OpenOfficec Writer settings into LinbreOffice Writer
Hi :) I think Tools - Options - LibreOffice - General is the right place. It's a bit weird that the first section in the left-hand panel in that pop-up is LibreOffice. It kinda makes sense after you have played around with the different options but at first it seems weird.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Unsubscribing from this list
Hi, I am not subscribed to this list, just saw new postings in the archives, so if I miss replying to an important message regarding unsubscription, please excuse me. ;-) Well, basically, subscription and unsubscription work *exactly* the same way, except that of course, subscribe is replaced by unsubscribe in the message footer. We currently have one limitation, that is due to our mailing list software, but a new release here has been pending for many months, and it finally looks like we can see it at the horizon. :) Depending on the type of subscription (regular, digest or nomail for those using GMANE), you need to unsubscribe. We already had a +unsubscribe link in the footer, which immediately brought many complaints from digest subscribers, telling that unsubscription does not work. In future versions of our mailing list manager, this will work, but right now, digest subscribers have to use a different address. I also had disabled digest subscriptions at all in the beginning, which brought complaints as well, so I finally enabled them. You see, whatever we do, it's wrong for some people, depending on their situation. That's why we created that dedicated web site with detailed information. I bet that anyone who reads thoroughly, and managed to subscribe, should be able to manage unsubscribing. In case they do not, they can contact the address at the bottom of that web site, normally leading to manual unsubscription in less than a few hours. We ask everyone who has issues to let us know in detail about the problem, and for at least 95% it's simply they did not read. Only very few issues were technically related.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Re: Re: How to migrate OpenOfficec Writer settings into LinbreOffice Writer
I save all my hidden dot folders, like .libreoffice and .mozilla, every month or so, and before I update LibreOffice to the next one. This is for Ubuntu, but can be done with Windows versions of these folders as well. Actually you should do this for your Mozilla [Firefox and Thunderbird] user info folders so you can save all you browser setting/site-password/bookmarks/etc and your email account info, address book, and non-deleted emails. This will/could save you a lot of trouble down the line. Any time you do some fixing for LO or OOo, you need to save the current user info/account/etc. folders BEFORE you do the work. This way if things go very wrong, you can go back to the original user info to try again. Actually I find removing the .libreoffice for Ubuntu [by renaming] or equivalent in other OSs, and then opening LO, it views it as a first time use after a clean install. This does fix a lot of pesky things that creep up from time to time, like printer issues. .

Re: [libreoffice-users] UNSUBSCRIBE
Hi :) Hmm, oddly in Launchpad forums you can respond by email. You get an email from the forum and the email contains exactly what was typed into the forum. Then you can respond by email just by clicking Reply to. Of course it does have problems of it's own but it's easier for first timers that are new to this non-telephone support. It's more polite and doesn't spam people that only wanted to deal with 1 thread. You can easily add yourself to the list of people that receive those emails whenever anyone posts anything to the forum.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unsubscribing from this list
I have several email address. One I use for e-newsletters, another for email lists like this one, while others for other specific things, etc. So I do not need to do forwarding. Are they forwarding the emails since they do not want their regular email address available through list services like this one? The solution is to go to other services, such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc., etc.. It is always good to have a few throw away email accounts and use one for email lists. That is just my opinion.

[libreoffice-users] Password protected files in LibreOffice 3.4.5
Hello, I'm running LibO 3.4.5. on Xubuntu 11.10, 64bit (installed from LibreOffice PPA) and I'm having trouble with password protected files: I have a .ods file that was password protected before, and I cannot open it with the password. Password is correct, I tried the same thing with an older version of LibO on Windows (3.4.4 I think), it worked fine. Trying to create a new document with password protection (tested with just an empty sheet) also fails with a 'General I/O Error'. Saving files without password works ok. I'm new here, so I'm not sure what to do about this. Seems to be a bug for me, so should I post this to the bugtracker? Or is this a known issue already?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Password protected files in LibreOffice 3.4.5
Hi Joerg, joerg.henning wrote (21-01-12 07:01) I'm running LibO 3.4.5. on Xubuntu 11.10, 64bit (installed from LibreOffice PPA) and I'm having trouble with password protected files: Maybe the 3.4.5 ppa is not the final LibreOffice 3.4.5 ? It should be build 502 (in the Help About box) There have been changes with encryption in 3.4.5 and 3.5.0 beta/rc1. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.5#General_-_encryption_changed But you are (should be) able to open files saved with password in 3.4.4 (and before) in 3.4.5 and 3.5.0. Also are (you should) be able to open files saved with encryption in 3.5.0 in 3.4.5. Only thing is that you cannot open files saved with password in 3.5.0 (and later) in 3.4.4 and earlier. 3.4.5 is the intermediate version.

Having To unsubscribe click: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org in the footer of emails. (Surprise to some, but some html emails will not have this header and I don't know why.) Still we would still have to remind some to reply to the confirmation email they were sent by the mailing list. Unsubscribing by clicking a link in an e-mail assumes the person receives HTML mail. Some force text only in which case the link won't work. Others *send* text only so perhaps the Unsubscribe instruction doesn't get included (???) but, even if it does, it won't be clickable. There have even been people who make great contributions to this list who complain about HTML e-mail. -- Harold Fuchs London, England -- 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
