[libreoffice-users] Re: Legacy Base reports won't open in LibreOffice 3.5
Thanks for your comments, Alex and others. One thing I didn't say is that when I edit my original reports in OO, their hidden controls do NOT show a 'Sorting' control listed at all, and yet they run perfectly in OO apparently without such a control. Since there is ALSO no 'Sorting' control listed when I edit my legacy reports in LO (yet they FAIL to run), I wonder does this mean it is NOT an IMPORT problem, as Alex suggests, but rather that a NEW hidden control ('Sorting') is required in LO (but not in OO)? I note that when I create a brand-new report in LO v5.2 using the legacy report designer (with the Report Builder Extension disabled), the hidden control 'Sorting' IS added, and the report runs as normal! (That's in fact how I discovered the work-around I reported above.) Before I lodge, as suggested, another Bug Report (under the Writer component), I'm interested in what others (with more technical knowledge than I have) think about this. - Fred -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Legacy-Base-reports-won-t-open-in-LibreOffice-3-5-tp3916293p3922148.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

[libreoffice-users] Re: Impress - mass photo import - mass slideshow merge
Le 16/04/12 12:30, precutcolo...@mailcan.com a écrit : Hi, 1. Given a folder/selection of jpg pics, can Impress import the whole set as a new slideshow, one pic per slide? Not that I know of, unless you do it programmatically (Python, JS or LOBasic). There might be an extension out there somewhere on the net that lets you do this, but I don't recall having seen one. 2. Given a folder/selection of Impress slideshow files, can Impress or a script merge them into one continuous, mass slideshow? A separator slide may buffer between each merged file. You would need a script for that to merge the XML - even then, you would probably encounter the image saving bug/mess : LO, which inherited its image storing management routines from OOo, stores each image in a ODF file as a pseudo-randomly generated sequence of characters, and then includes a pointer to that in the XML attributes. Your script would have to be able to extract the image from one ODP file, in all likelihood meaning you would have to read the binary stream API to do this, store it in memory, rename it and resave it in the new file - fun, huh ? A shell script may do, but that must vary by OS. Maybe Python? Inside LibreOffice is a Script Provider for Python extension. My users are average folk who need simple click methods. Old OOo extensions are broken in Libre, or not easy for grandma to click-install. They were all that my web searches found, so I ask. Thank you! From what I know, and I don't know everything ;-), you could only do this via a fairly complicated script. You could try using any of the language bindings available for your script, and Python is as good as any other in this respect, but be warned if you want it multi-OS and clickable, it will not be a task for the fainthearted.

LO is well beyond what AOO is at, and LO people have cleaned out so much of the old/bad/outdated code that it would be a real catch-up act for AOO to give you the same features and such that LO have given us since mid-3.3.x line. I use 3.4.6, but will got to 3.5.x when it get some of its issues fixed that are specific for my needs. Yes, you can have LO and AOO installed on the same computer. No, you cannot run both at the same time. No, it is not something that works well for most users. Yes, it is your choice to try.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printer Dialogs
I use CUPS-PDF for non-LO PDF printing. Most of my printers have CUPS based drivers installed as their Linux default. As for dialogs working properly, well duplexing works on an HP laser, while it will not on an Epson inkjet, within LO. I use Linux mostly, but I have to compared side by side the dialogs between my Linux desktop and my Vista Laptop. It could be LO, or it could be your flavor of Linux and its repository drivers. You never know unless you take the same printers with different version of Linux on the same computer. Or take LO on Linux vs LO on Windows. If it works for one system and not the other, then it is not LO. If the same issue is across OSs, then it is LO.

(it could have been that you referred to information on the page style, although that is not so logic.) I guess LibreOffice gets its information via the printer driver. And for me that's a terra incognita. Could it be that the bypass is automatically selected once you open it, or fill it? I think that the paper types are not relevant here. That are sort of definitions, referring in the end simply to the existing trays. Regards, Since we lease the printers I have spoken to both the engineers and the training department as I was hoping they could be set that way but these printers needs to be told to use the bypass - it doesn't select it automatically ( like small HP printers which if you put something in the bypass it will take it from there preferentially. ) The paper types don't just refer to the tray to take the paper from. They also tell the printer how fast to feed the paper through the machine. For example thick3 is used for t-shirt printing paper and that has to go through really slowly otherwise the toner doesn't stick. We have a really nasty work around for the t-shirt paper. That is, we put it in tray 3 and set that tray to thick1 ( which LO does show ) which slows the paper a bit. Then we also select 1200 dpi instead of the normal 600 which slows it even more and it works. However this does use up a tray and you can also only get away which doing 2 or 3 pages then you have to put a blank sheet through from a normal tray to clean the rollers. best wishes M -- 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 -- 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] Open Office and Libre Office Questions...
Hi, I thought after the fork of LibreOffice Oracle gave the source code of OpenOffice to the Apache Foundation. IBM donated the source code of their OpenOffice fork called Lotus Symphony also to the Apache Foundation. If I've read everything correctly the Apache Foundation has a special policy called the Incubation this is a period of time during which amongst lots of other things the new project is kept under quarantine for patent issues and to see whether the project is viable. I thought this period of time is practically over and a new release of OpenOffice can be expected during the second half of this year.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Spell checker breaks in Windows XP LO 3.5.2
Hi Manfred, Thanks again for your kind help. So, as per your suggestions: You might try to re-synchronize the 'bundled dictionaries': - Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled) - Go to '...\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled' - Rename the folder 'bundled' to (e.g.) 'bundled_old' - Restart LibO. A new folder 'bundled' will be created in the user profile. All bundled dictionaries should be available. I followed the above and exactly what you expected would happen ended up happening. Unfortunately, my spell checker remained broken. Still no fat check mark. Addendum: (1) Checking the program folder 'extensions' [Path: ...\Program_Files\LibreOffice 3.5\share\extensions] - Folder 'dict-en' is available (with the file 'en_US.dic' [among others])? Both the folder and the file are present. (2) Your LibreOffice 3.5.2 installation: default or customized installation? Default. (3) Does the problem occur--right from start--with - a renamed LibreOffice user profile I exited LO, deleted the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\LibreOffice folder, and restarted. The folder was re-created, but the spell checker remained broken. - another / a new user (OS level)? I created a new user -- an administrator -- and logged out.

Back to external databases with configuration data in configuration files, forms and reports in stand-alone office documents. More speed more safety, security, accessibility and transparency. People who do not understand how to connect separated software tools do not understand the .odb container neither (as we can read in all the mail merge topics). - Remove all the half done wizards. Do not improve them. Remove! No database developer nor interface designer needs all this stinky rubbish. There are graphical tools to compose forms and reports within office documents. There is SQL for all the rest, including all the things we can not do in the current graphical interface. There are plenty of SQL editors to produce valid SQL for various databases. SQL text can be pasted into any database configuration. - Add native database queries, so the current direct SQL mode returns editable row sets and the (useless or even harmful) graphical query designer can be removed as well. - Having removed all the wizards (they are Java components) without losing any functionality at all, extensions could substitute .odb packages. When you open the extension, the database gets installed _permanently_ (rather than _temporarily_ like the .odb) into the configuration tree together with the forms and reports documents. The database will be registered and all the tables, queries, forms and reports are accessible form the data source window, hyperlinks and desktop links just like it used to be in OOo 1.

I prefer OpenOffice because, although it lacks some features available in LibreOffice which I don't use that often, it is much stabler and thus more of use in a production environment. Of course this is my personal impression, things can be different for someone else. There are many bugs from OpenOffice code removed from the LibreOffice code. People running Libreoffice as a server application, that ran OpenOffice before, are extremely clear in their experience: it's much and much stabler. And the biggest bug from OpenOffice code is being worked on too at LibreOffice: cleaning up the whole thing, make it ready for future. This gives regressions, temporarily. Alas. But the other improvements outweigh that, by far.

This doesn't seem to be happening in libreoffice, as the cursor is always at the top of the document, meaning one has to remember some other way where I was up to. I can't find any option to turn this invaluable feature back on. Is this a design decision, an oversight, or am I missing an option somewhere? Cheers, Ron In all the years I've been using OO and LO (omg, am I getting old...) I never once had the good fortune of re-opening a document and automatically having the cursor (or pointer, however you prefer to call it) fall onto the location where I had left it before closing the doc. Before I close a document, I mark the spot where the cursor is located by inserting a bookmark (Alt - Insert - Bookmark and enter a name of your choice for the bookmark in the dialog box ). Then, to go back to that spot, after I reopen the document I right-click in the lower left corner, where the page count is shown, and the bookmark name pops up: a click on the name itself brings me to the bookmarked position in the text.

The embedded HSQLDB behaves exactly like an external DB. When you open the embedded database document you actually _install_ an external HSQLDB and connect the office suite to that _external_ database in cached mode (single user on local machine) until you close the database document which re-packages the external database. IMHO, nobody needs to know anything about macro programming in order to build useful database applications with Base. The vast majority of Base macros are due to bad database design, save one or two clicks or they are made to impress the boss. There are plenty of macros for generic tasks. All the most desperately wanted macros have been written already (clone records, refresh this and that, open forms and reports, open text as hyperlink). What I would describe as Base light is the ability to use spreadsheets, csv files, dBase files, LDAP and popular mail client address books as read-only data sources for office documents, mostly mail merge. This is the most important feature and the concept is superior to MS Office if there is a computer knowledgable administrator able to work with templates, spreadsheets, plain text and some SQL in a creative manner. For the end user who writes a serial letter the type of data source makes no difference at all. It is always used in the same (slightly clumsy) way, no matter if the addresses come from Oracle server or plain text file.

The database backend is a mature database program, most of the rest belongs to the Writer component. There is just too much dysfunctional junk on top of the basic database functionality which does not add any additional functionality. Everything that the wizards are supposed to do can be done without the wizard. Today's users are do not accept any _basic_ features in a highly sophisticated office suite, no matter how well the basic features use to work. Instead they complain about the dysfunctional rubbish. Øthere is no documentation explicit for LibO-Base -- and will obviouslynot be; There is excellent documentation for OOo Base which is identical to LibO Base. Main problem with documentation is that today's computer users overestimate their skills and do not understand the difference between end user applications and development tools. This type of office suite suggest that each component should be as easy to use as the text processor. Users have to rely on OpenO documentation why there is no logical reason to install LibO (ordinary new users does not know about any differences between LibO and OO -- and do not know why to seek) Øthe LibreOffice Help is a disaster -- a user new to LibO does not get any (direct) help LibO documentation on Base is plain wrong and misleading.

[libreoffice-users] Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE LO 3.4.6 install error
I am dealing with a DELL laptop that I went from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 final beta. I installed MATE for its GNOME 2.x desktop environment. Ubuntu 12.04 final beta installs 3.5.2 as a default. I wanted LO 3.4.6 instead. BUT, I had errors trying to get the menus system to show 3.4.6 I could not get the launchers to show in Applications/Office I finally got it to work but it required a bit of weirdness. I un-installed 3.5.2 with Ubuntu Software Center [the big mistake] Install 3.4.6 with the terminal install menu [desktop-integration] - got errors try 1via terminal stated something about could not since the menus already exists try 2via GDebi Package installer had error in the LO core dependency SOLUTION - I hoped but it worked First I had to reinstall 3.5.2 via the Synaptic Package Manager Second Then removed it in that same manager just after it was reinstalled Then ran the 3.4.6 desktop-integration via GDebi Package installer [since 3.4.6 still was in the Synaptic Package list] It worked then, showing the launcher listing for LO in the Applications/Office. SO Please do not remove the default LO version via the Ubuntu Software Center when you have 12.04 and MATE. It may be OK when 12.04LTS comes out on April 26th, but I will not hold my breath. It could be MATE, or a combination. I do not know, but it messed me up. So currently, it WILL cause problems. -- 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

[libreoffice-users] Page Styles not consistent
What I'm Running: Using Writer 3.4.4 on Mint 12 KDE. What I want: A header on each page except the first page of each chapter How I tried to do it: I created a separate page style for the first page of each chapter. I disabled the header for this style, and set the Default style (with the header turned on) to be the next style. What went right: The selected page no longer had the header, and the following page did. What went horribly wrong: Every other page following that is missing the header. It seems that the only way to consistently get the style to work is to end the first page with a manual break. Unfortunately, that would severely disrupt the flow of the text (and the layout). Is there any way to do this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
