[libreoffice-users] Mendeley desktop plugin causing extended time lags in LibO
Hi list This follows up on an email written earlier this year regarding a time-lag in LibO when using Mendeley Desktop plugin [ http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg42838.html ]. At the time of writing, I thought this was a LibO issue, but it seems more like a Mendeley Desktop (MD) issue: I wrote to MD support to ask about progress made in response to a cohort of other LibO users who have posted to the MD website reporting similar time lags in using the MD insert citations plugin. Josh, a support person at MD, responded that no work had been undertaken on this because it was deemed to be a LO problem in how they process fieldcodes. I responded that since LibO is open source and that Mendeley developed the plugin for LibO this is a Mendeley issue ... but this has resulted in a deafening silence from MD! What field codes is Josh referring to and is there anything I as a lowly end-user can do to fix this, at least locally? Is this something that LibO developers are able to address with MD to facilitate uptake among universities of LibO, many of which would also use Mendeley? For specs, I'm running LibO 4.3.5.2 on Mint 17, using the latest Mendeley Desktop and plugin versions.

Re: [libreoffice-users] invoicing systems using Calc (or something else)
Hi :) That makes a lot of sense. Actually turned me around a bit. Please take my previous advice with a big pinch of salt or even ignore completely. The important thing is to get something set-up that does work for you. Getting your own bookkeeper, perhaps for an hour or 2 a week or something, might be better than getting the accountancy firm to do your bookkeeping for you. It might be a lot cheaper and be better for more relaxed chats about the whole thing. They might need several more hours in the first few weeks so that they can develop or configure a system for you. I guess that a lot of bookkeepers might be really glad of a chance to set things up in a way that they prefer, as we all have our own preferences on some things, rather than trying to figure out someone else's system.

Re: [libreoffice-users] IT Assistant
Hi :) LibreOffice actively develops 2 branches alongside each other all the time. The Fresh branch is the default one and tends to be more developed in terms of new functionality and better handling of documents created by the newer versions of Microsoft Office. On the other hand sometimes some of the new things do create unexpected problems. The Still branch has focused on fixing problems and doesn't add new stuff so it is sometimes better for several different types of environments. I install Still on all my colleagues' and client's machines but try to use Fresh on machines that i can reach quickly and easily to revert back to Still if necessary. It is even possible to install both versions on a single machine but i find it easier to just uninstall and then reinstall the other. That way whichever version is being used picks-up on the same settings = so i don't have to reconfigure anything. If you go to our download site you will find you can change the version to download. It is a good plan to have both the latest versions, one from each branch. Good luck and many regards from Tom :) On 1 April 2015 at 09:28, James Wilde james.wi...@sunde-wilde.com wrote: The following message came in to the website forum, so I am reposting it here, where it is more appropriate.

Can you clarify: did you mean post a bug report to the LibO developers or to the Mendeley people (who seem to want to pass the buck onto LibO)? For the LibO folk, is there a protocol one follows - e.g. is it via an email list or a website or ... ? Thanks again.

Maybe say that you suspect that our Devs might be better at communicating with their devs to get the issue resolved?

At the time of writing, I thought this was a LibO issue, but it seems more like a Mendeley Desktop (MD) issue: I wrote to MD support to ask about progress made in response to a cohort of other LibO users who have posted to the MD website reporting similar time lags in using the MD insert citations plugin. Josh, a support person at MD, responded that no work had been undertaken on this because it was deemed to be a LO problem in how they process fieldcodes. I responded that since LibO is open source and that Mendeley developed the plugin for LibO this is a Mendeley issue ... but this has resulted in a deafening silence from MD! What field codes is Josh referring to and is there anything I as a lowly end-user can do to fix this, at least locally? Is this something that LibO developers are able to address with MD to facilitate uptake among universities of LibO, many of which would also use Mendeley? For specs, I'm running LibO 4.3.5.2 on Mint 17, using the latest Mendeley Desktop and plugin versions.

[libreoffice-users] default writer template please?
I'm using LO 4.2.7.2 and have accidentally got a default document display that's two pages side-by-side. If I open a file of a single page I get the left page showing as blank then have to scroll right to get to the page of text. Can anyone tell me either what I did wrong or how to reset the page (the default template I suppose?) to the way it displays out of the box?

Dave It may be different on your system, but all the LOs I am familiar with (4.3.6.2 here at the moment; /Curtains//7)/ show, on the bottom bar, just to the left of the magnification slider, 3 mini icon-ettes in the form of page outlines. Click the left-most, singular one, and you should regain nirvana. I don't think that this option qualifies as a template, but in any case you don't have to go plowing through the template department to restore singularity. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
