[libreoffice-users] Workarounds for multiple problems with the legacy Report Designer-Wizard under LO 3.5
After doing a bit more investigation recently, this is a summary of what I've found (so far) regarding the multiple problems with the legacy Report Designer-Wizard (RDW) under LO 3.5. For convenience and succinctness, I thought it might be worth SUMMARIZING the situation in this new message. It seems there are (at least) 3 different problems/bugs with the RDW under LO 3.5. SUMMARY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE REPORT-DESIGNER-WIZARD (UNDER LO 3.5) 1. All reports of course need to be based on an SQL query (whether pre-existing, or generated 'on-the-fly' by the RDW) 2. When building a Report using the LRD, there are 2 situations (specified in the first step of the RDW): a. Select a TABLE from your database b. Select a (pre-existing) QUERY from your database (referencing the TABLE above) 3. In the first case (2a above), using LO 3.5, the wizard DOES generate the appropriate query (with the fields and sorting the user has selected), and stores it in the hidden COMMAND control field. But NOTE, there is still a PROBLEM in the case where the Report needs to have GROUP HEADERS (i.e. GROUPED on one of the database fields). In this case, the auto-generated QUERY is incomplete, and the GROUP BY term is omitted. This can be fixed by simply editing the QUERY in the COMMAND control field and adding the GROUP BY term. This is effectively another BUG, in my opinion (the 'Repeated Headings Bug'). e.g. see here: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Base-and-new-Report-Builder-in-3-5-td3817159.html#a3835807 4. In the second case (2b above), the wizard either does NOT generate the query (or does NOT copy it into the COMMAND control field) - leaving it BLANK. So it has to be entered 'manually'. This is the 'Blank COMMAND field' bug mentioned elsewhere. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47473 5. When I use the LRD in OpenOffice v.3.3 to generate the SAME report from the SAME database, the wizard correctly generates the SQL command, as shown in the hidden COMMAND control field, with the correct GROUPING term, and so the report runs properly in OO. (It also also runs properly in LO 3.5 once the hidden 'SORTING' control is added - that's the OTHER 'Sorting control' bug!). See here... http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Legacy-Base-reports-won-t-open-in-LibreOffice-3-5-td3916293.html#a3917443 http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/2589 http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Report-Builder-td2762261.html#a2762591 6. OO also correctly copies the query code into the COMMAND control field in the SECOND case (2b) above, so there is no 'blank Command field' BUG in OO - see point 4 above. 7. There seems to be mounting evidence that these problems affect LO 3.5 user on all platforms. See the links above for more info. I'm not a programmer, and don't have any deep technical understanding of LO and BASE, but it looks to me that how the RDW works has been changed somewhere down the line in LO development, leading to these 'bugs' (which, from what other users have reported, don't seem to affect LO 3.3 - not sure about LO 3.4). I hope this summary helps people using the RDW create properly functioning reports until the problems are sorted down the track. Despite it's flaws, I find the Report Designer Wizard a very flexible and useful tool, and hope that it will continue to be supported by the LO development team. - Fred -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Workarounds-for-multiple-problems-with-the-legacy-Report-Designer-Wizard-under-LO-3-5-tp3964175.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

Dont use the CUPS .pdf printer, use the LO Print print to file option, Ah - OK - I'll try ... If I select the print to file option I have only the postscript option, and then I have exactly the same problems. In addition: the Page numbers are omitted in the ps2txt step - strange but true.

[libreoffice-users] Impress on mac g4 - graphics filter not found
I am trying to put together a picture presentation using Impress. Using a mac mini running Lion I am having no problem. As the presentation will be given elsewhere I want to use a G4 laptop running osx 10.4.11. Transfering the file fails to work as it fails to include all of the pictures. Any attempt to rebuild on the G4 fails as it says Graphics filter not found on most of the pictures, all jpeg. I can use some other pictures, as a test, but there seems to be no consistency. I am using LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 on the G4 and LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 on the mac mini. If anyone can help I will be grateful, the presentation is for Monday evening.
