I noticed that it started happening after I installed a data managing program called FieldWorks and started exporting interlinearized files into LibreOffice .odt format from within that program.

Sometimes several times in a row if I open that folder in Windows Explorer then the Windows Explorer crashes and I get the error below. Sometimes there is no way to get to the files, except rebooting the system! Otherwise I cannot open the folder to get to the files. :-( The funny thing is that I do not even need to click on any of the .odt files and still the Explorer crashes. And sometimes I can work for hours and there is no problem. Another person who also has the same setup, but Win 7, experience similar things. It is very annoying. Here is the error message I get. I am not sure if my friend gets exact the same error but the behaviour is similar. Windows Explorer has stopped working. Windows can check online Check online ...

So I wonder does the LibreOffice use the MSVCR90.dll file or not? If it does, then is there something I could try to do so that this would not happen again? Wiindows Vista Pro 64Bit LibreOffice 3.5.2 Thanks a lot, Calle Calle, According to this link http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/msvcr90/420990/#.UHRJ1OnA-a4 MSVCR90.dll is part of Visual Studio 2005. I doubt LO uses this library. My guess is that you have corrupted file. Thanks, Jay I uninstalled all instances of Visual Studio and rebooted. But the problem persists. I searched the web for a solution, but did not find anything that helped. This link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/f4b38404-8e09-4805-a877-fb342843ba13 is talking about the exact same problem, and they also use LibreOffice on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I use Vista 64 bit and have the same issue, as have my friend who just recently started using LibreOffice. We never experienced this before installing LibreOffice. The reply to the report in the link above suggests that it is a LibreOffice problem. I tried the free program they suggested, ShellExView, but it did not find the MSVCR90.dll. We are trying to finish a project here where we rely on LibreOffice, so it would be really good to be able to get this solved.

Hi :) I often grumble so this time i wanted to draw attention to some excellent behaviour on the users list.

I think this time the response was unusually excellent. 1. There is a direct link so the person can copypaste their question to the right list easily 2. That message is translated so the list understands the action taken 3. There is a neat translation of the question so the list can understand. So, now if someone does know the answer to the question they can answer in English (or French) and we can take it from there. This raises the bar significant;y.

They are made public under the album Libre_CALC_Query I don't use fb often so if you find any trouble downloading them please do not fight with FB. Just let me know.

Dan, rost52, Tom: = About Candlestick charts: Candlestick charting is a Japanese charting technique for stocks, commodities, currencies. One candlestick represents the Open-High-Low-Close values for a given interval. The interval can be anything from minutes to years but is constant for a chart. It is an excellent visual representation that is extremely quick to grasp. Inferences are made based on a single candle or multiple candles seen together. Further info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick_chart Check the various candlestick patterns and their interpretations. *** The Japanese have shown great imagination in naming the patterns! Just to check how a candle stick chart looks, please go to yahoo finance and look for a technical analysis/ charting link (mostly you can just click any chart you see: NASDAQ/ DAX etc). Choose Basic Tech Analysis under charts. Set the range to 6 months and select type as candle. I will try to find a way to get a real life example .ods or screen-shots on the net somewhere.

Why not installing a pdf-writer SW, there are even free-of-charge versions available. but having a pdf-writer incorporated is one of the nice features of LO. Yes there are external PDF file writers that are free. doPDF for Windows and CUPS-PDF for Linux are the ones I use. BUT, having an internal Export-to-PDF option is always a food idea. It defaults to the folder the original document file is saved in. External ones do not. Export-to-PDF does have issues with embedding some specialty fonts, but it does not force the PDF file to be in Portrait mode line CUPS-PDF does. I do not get the race-car vs. tractor image. Are you thinking about a package the just does the conversion instead of having a full office suite that can do it as part of its abilities? Since PDF is touted as the standard format for sending documents or having them online, it is important to make it easy for the users to create a PDF version of their document. To be honest, I use CUPS-PDF as my default printer. That way I can print out web pages and only print the physical pages I want. Same with emails and any other package that will allow you to print. Saves a lot of paper that way. Also, LO does not create duplex prints for me, most of the time, do to an issue that came up last year. So creating a PDF file and using the default PDF viewer and printing from there is how I get my duplex printed documents. -- 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] Fw: Help request on CALC charts' features
Hi :) I was able to overlap two charts in gimp as well as calc. Hurrraa :) * Adjusted axis on both charts - major, minor ticks to match each other. * Scales (rather everything) Automatic is unmarked - in case we need to scale data ranges later. * Made the top one completely transparent before moving on top of first. In gimp one can be sure that they don't slide - ever. Not sure if there is a facility for that in calc - don't really expect. Just pinging in case anyone has any ideas. Objects once placed may move - e.g. one justified left other to center etc. - on their own with some remote change elsewhere in the sheet. The charts are now 100 times more helpful. No kidding!

Re: [libreoffice-users] removing AbiWord from Ubuntu 12.04 kills LO desktop-menus
12.04 had 3.5.4 as the default system. But when I removed it to have 3.5.6 installed, that is when it installed AdiWord and made it the default for a word processing package. Also, I use MATE [GNOME 2.x fork-like package] for the desktop environment so I do not need to deal with the Unity desktop left side of the screen taskbar. I prefer the taskbar/panel on the bottom and a second panel on the top of the desktop screen. With a clean install of 10.04 and the direct upgrading to 12.04, there is not issues with the upgrading to Ubuntu's default system. BUT, I do not like the defaults for most of the system, like Unity. I used 10.04 GNOME and KDE packages on the system, choosing which package works the best for my needs. Now I deal with having 12.04 with Unity, KDE, and MATE together using MATE as the default desktop environment.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit from 10.04. When I use the package manager to remove AbiWord, it removed things like the desktop menu listing for LO in Office and some other LO packages. When I did a reinstall, the desktop menu creation failed due to a LO-core issue. So I needed to remove all of the LO package files and do a fresh install. Why AbiWord removal removes LO packages, I do not know. Why did re-installing LO over the working 3.5.6 to replace the removed or broken packages, cause the desktop menu error, I do not know. Why it took a removal of LO from the system and a fresh install to get it working again, I do not know. But for anyone using Ubuntu 12.04, be sure to remove AdiWord before you install LO on your system. 12.10 comes out in about a week, so this might be an issue there as well, if 12.10 installs AdiWord when you want LO's newest. By-the-way Ubuntu 12.04.1 installs LO 3.5.4 by default, so removing that version to use 3.5.6, forces Ubuntu to install AbiWord during the removal of 3.5.4, so you will have some wordprocessor. -- 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

Even before his death, Münchhausen's reputation as a storyteller was exaggerated by several writers, giving birth to a fully fictionalized literary character usually called simply Baron Munchausen.

I came across gimp some time last week and it had some concept like layers. I have added a transparent layer and copied two charts - with same axis scales, ranges - on each layer. I am not very conversant with gimp though so right now I can only jump from one layer to another and see two charts one-by-one. My charts themselves have opaque background so transparency of layers is not helping. Still a work in progress, I must say.

I was thinking the best way to do what I do is using LAMP - particularly since I have to ultimately work on data that is 245 days/year, 12 years till now, 1000+ entries everyday, each entry has say 8-10 sub-entries and at least two such sets of data! (Equity, derivatives, Commodity) (365 - 52x2weekends - 16 holidays = 245 days/year!) But this is my first week with Linux! I can't possibly get into MySQL and hope to get it rightly done without crashing my system a thousand times. Right now, I have this one machine working. I hope to resurrect an old system and do all the LAMP/ sys-admin type of work (tweaking!) on it before moving the whole thing to a powerful machine. The calc charting is a short term solution before I get (and I hope I get it ultimately) the whole LAMP thing going. (I had been using MS XP and Excel for couple of years for this purpose, I can't believe my own madness/inertia/procrastination!) In fact I have noted your suggestion of linking the database files to calc and then making charts from it. That way I can use a database even before I get in to the A P of LAMP. Dan, rost52, Tom: = About Candlestick charts: Candlestick charting is a Japanese charting technique for stocks, commodities, currencies. One candlestick represents the Open-High-Low-Close values for a given interval. The interval can be anything from minutes to years but is constant for a chart. It is an excellent visual representation that is extremely quick to grasp. Inferences are made based on a single candle or multiple candles seen together. Further info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick_chart Check the various candlestick patterns and their interpretations. *** The Japanese have shown great imagination in naming the patterns! Just to check how a candle stick chart looks, please go to yahoo finance and look for a technical analysis/ charting link (mostly you can just click any chart you see: NASDAQ/ DAX etc). Choose Basic Tech Analysis under charts. Set the range to 6 months and select type as candle. I will try to find a way to get a real life example .ods or screen-shots on the net somewhere. Steve: The chartmaster software - was it open-source? May be I should search for similar charting software in open source domain. Unfortunately till now I have found myself to be we didn't start the fire types :P Someone, somewhere has always gone way ahead before me!

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can someone on OS X verify a writer bug?(bugzilla-link inside)
(1) No, IIRC Apple does not use the Java Accessibility API and Java Access Bridge for its native Aqua/Cocoa NSAccessibility framework as used in VoiceOver. And OOo/LibO accessibility libraries make use of roles from NSAccessiblity framework to support OS X builds. But for development/implementation of non-Aqua/Cocoa Java accessible applications under OS X, a JRE and Java Access Bridge is required on OS X. So, with Oracle now building the JRE used by OS X, it could conceivably be having an impact on the Apple Accessibility APIs. (2) The Java Access Bridge is capable of supporting all assistive technologies that are implemented in Java, but most defined roles came from the earlier Microsoft work on MSAA and IAccessible. The a11y accessibility working group has moved beyond that with IAccessible2, ATK/GAIL and AT-SPI efforts. And of course Microsoft is doing its own thing for Windows, replacing the MSAA/IAccessible with UI Automation. Both the Accessibility wiki and the Java wiki documentation can use more work.

In Mac OS X.6.8, Accessibility Tools is called Universal Access, and yes, I do have that turned on, for two reasons: to be able to magnify an area of the screen on occasion, and to run Zooom 2, which provides focus-follows-mouse. Both of these, and especially the latter, are very useful, so I'll wait for LO version 3.6.3 to see if that solves the crashing problem.

So I wonder does the LibreOffice use the MSVCR90.dll file or not? If it does, then is there something I could try to do so that this would not happen again? Wiindows Vista Pro 64Bit LibreOffice 3.5.2 Thanks a lot, Calle Calle, According to this link http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/msvcr90/420990/#.UHRJ1OnA-a4 MSVCR90.dll is part of Visual Studio 2005. I doubt LO uses this library. My guess is that you have corrupted file. Thanks, Jay I uninstalled all instances of Visual Studio and rebooted. But the problem persists. I searched the web for a solution, but did not find anything that helped. This link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/f4b38404-8e09-4805-a877-fb342843ba13 is talking about the exact same problem, and they also use LibreOffice on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I use Vista 64 bit and have the same issue, as have my friend who just recently started using LibreOffice. We never experienced this before installing LibreOffice. The reply to the report in the link above suggests that it is a LibreOffice problem. I tried the free program they suggested, ShellExView, but it did not find the MSVCR90.dll. We are trying to finish a project here where we rely on LibreOffice, so it would be really good to be able to get this solved. Thanks Calle Calle Try this link for more information: http://superuser.com/questions/351609/how-can-i-fix-a-missing-msvcr90-dll-file-error. It suggests reinstalling the vb runtime Thanks, Jay I read the web page you mentioned, and this is what I did. I searched for any Visual C++ packages installed on my Vista 64 bit system, and uninstalled them all, and rebooted. Then it seemed that the problem had gone away, but alas, after a while I exported from the FieldWorks program into LibreOffice, and saved the .odt file onto the Desktop. And there we go again, the same Windows Explorer crash with MSVCR90.dll as faulting came up again! Ok, so I thought that I search for all instances of MSVCR90.dll on my system and found one instance left, this one: C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\B7E0.tmp_\oracle-pdfimport.oxt The version was Version 9.021022.8 So, I deleted this one and my system was completely free of that .dll. But then I did again what I did above (Exporting to .odt) and the error came up again! Even without any MSVCR90.dll whatsoever on my system. Fault Module Name: MSVCR90.dll. The version is even the same, ie Fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161 So it seems that at least some part of LibreOffice uses that same .dll, but the version was not the same as the error implies. So
Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: Help request on CALC charts' features
Hi :) Draw also has some sort of layers function but i'm not sure they are as easy to use as Gimp. Gimp is excellent but keeping the chart in LibreOffice increases the chance of keeping the information dynamic rather than as a series of static files. Lamp uses MySql (sadly i've not heard of anyone using the non-Oracle drop-in replacement called MariaDb) which is a database back-end. Could that pull in the data you use but do it automatically and dynamically rather than as snapshots? Base can supposedly read and present the data stored in MySql/MariaDb databases. Other modules, such as Writer, can use various data sources, i think the F4 key. Can Draw? Can Base use the original data rather than trying to pull the data into a MySql databse? All that sounds like a complete nightmare to organise but i've already been very impressed with how fast you've managed to pick up new tools and get them doing something intriguingly unusual. Getting good-enough results fast is great. There might be a copyright issue with using Yahoo's data but presumably they get it their original data from a public source and then maybe do a few actions to the data to present it differently? Can you get to the original source and do your own set of calculations or do you have permission to use Yahoo;s info or is that not a concern at the moment? (prolly best NOT to answer those. It's just something to consider) Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 10/10/12, Viral Orpe viral.o...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Viral Orpe viral.o...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: Help request on CALC charts' features To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Wednesday, 10 October, 2012, 17:58 Hi :) I was able to overlap two charts in gimp as well as calc.
