[libreoffice-users] Re: A possibly critical bug in LibreOffice?

2013-06-19 Thread Tom 
Hi :)  
Did you manage to work-around this problem?  

Sometimes it is better to save a "local" copy, ie to download it onto your
own machine.  Then work on it there and then re-upload it.  I often do that
even if working on a file that is on a LAN, let alone on the Cloud.  There
are just to many variables and too much potential for various different 3rd
party connections to go wrong.  A local copy means you have a back-up.  

Sorry you didn't get any answers sooner!  
Apols and regards from 
Tom :)

One thing I haven't found is a good example of presenting / driving some
UI from within the scope of LOo from Python.   I don't even know that it
is possible.  But I've been lurking the developer list[s] and see talk
about LOo & glade... that would be really nice.

Yep.  I stare at it occasionally thinking

"and a decent RAD framework (there are quite a few)"

Really??? Name *ONE*.

ORMs are a no brainer;  SQLalchemy is simply fantastic.  But the UI part
of the RAD solution is seriously lacking.

I also thought it could be a window manager issue but then I saw the LO/OOO 
"CloseWin" command but it doesn't seem to do the job.

Thanks for the tip,

I've no clue how to do that on Windows; but it probably has something to
do with removing "window decorations".  What is in the window frame is
typically only tangentially controlled by the application.

You will also need to capture Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-W to prevent
'uncontrolled' exit.

[libreoffice-users] disable quit application

2013-06-19 Thread Vieri 
Hi,

I'm currently using the file:

C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 
4.0\share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\commands.xcu

with the following content:

  
  http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";

  Quit
  
  
  
  
  

It disables the "Quit" menu item. However, how can I also disable the X

quit only through a custom macro call (checks stuff, closes document and quits 
app).

[libreoffice-users] Cannot Create A Stacked Chart

2013-06-19 Thread Adam Tauno Williams 
Version 4.0:build-303 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:303))

I'm having a terrible time creating a stacked bar chart.  I've done this
many times before but now [possibly due to update/upgrade?] it just will
not 'stack';  whereas it always did it more or less automatically
before.

Data is like:
DATE | CATEGORY | COUNT
-MM | CATEGORY  | COUNT
-MM | CATEGORY  | COUNT
...

I select the entire range, insert chart, select stacked graph... but no
matter how I fiddle with the ranges - it just doesn't stack.

Char should be like:

C|
O|   1
U|   3   1   1
N|   2 2 3 1 1 1
T| 1 2 3 3 2 2 3 

   Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
   Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
   Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
   Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
   M M M M M M M M M M
   M M M M M M M M M M

Tips / Suggestions ...?

I've been over the wiki pages, they aren't terribly illuminating as to
when-it-doesn't-work situations.

[libreoffice-users] "close application" event

Hi,

The "close application" event doesn't seem to fire my macro when I exit LO.
Does anyone know why?

My macro is quite simple:
Print Exiting...

and I associated the "close application" event to this macro.
When I "exit LO" the message isn't displayed.

Thanks,

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Calv - Vertical Split

2013-06-19 Thread Ian Whitfield 
Thanks to everyone who has helped me out in the last week or so - 
appreciated!!
It's fantastic to have a Forum like this, (as is the Scribus Forum that 
I also use).


A week or so back I asked about 'Searching in a Column' so thanks to 
Suo, Tom and Luuk for that help - Not exactly how I would like it but a 
suitable workround.


With my latest problem with 'Splits' and then "vanishing" Tab thanks to 
Regina, Brian and Oogie for their help!!


I "found" my Tabs again - during me playing with Splits it seems that 
the entire Tab system had been compressed totally to the left and was 
all but invisible except for a small un-noticed "Bar". Only by 
picking-up on this Bar could I drag the Tabs back on to the screen. 
strange!!(??)


Again thanks to all and the Forum in general

[libreoffice-users] disable "save as" in menu

2013-06-19 Thread Vieri 
Hi,

I'd like to disable the "save as" menu item and keep that setting within an odt 
(not as a global application setting).

I can do this easily for the "save as" button in the TOOLBAR (I'm allowed to 
keep this setting within the .odt file).
However, I can't seem to do it for the MENU (I can remove the "save as" entry 
but it's at the global application level, not at document level).

Can this be done even if I were to hack the .odt file content?

Thanks,

Vieri
