scangearmp is a command-line program, not an interface. LibreOffice
uses the SANE backends, just as xsane does, just as pretty much every
other scanning program does. Do you have the sane package installed?

Your scanner is listed as using the sane-pixma driver, but is marked as
untested. See http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON

Generally, buying a scanner or other hardware device for use with linux
is unwise unless it has been tested and reported as compatible. This is
especially true with linux-hostile manufacturers like Canon.

[libreoffice-users] [LibreOffice 6.0.0.3] SVG export filter bug and suggested fix

2018-02-08 Thread Carlo Strata 

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the LibreOffice vanilla (x64 deb) on Debian 9 stretch:
/Versione: 6.0.0.3//
//Build ID: 64a0f66915f38c6217de274f0aa8e15618924765//
//Thread CPU: 4; SO: Linux 4.9; Resa interfaccia: predefinito; VCL: gtk2; //
//Versione locale: it-IT (it_IT.UTF-8); Calc: group/

Exporting a Draw images (odg file) in SVG format, I see a perfect 
export, but a little text position error on the second line in a two 
line vertical oriented TextShape! I see it both opening the svg with 
specific software/viewer (Eye of GNOME (eog) 3.20.5 or Inkscape 0.92.1 
r15371) and reimporting it in the same LibreOffice version on a Writer 
native document.


In manually fixing the correct text position, I see that the second line 
good coordinate can be computed from the bad ones with the simple 
following rules.


From the wrong XML we can define:

deltaX = x2bad - x1
deltaY = y2bad - y1

the good one seems to be corrected by computing these calculus:

x2good = x1 - deltaY   // minus and the delta of the other variable
y2good = y1 + deltaX   // plus and the delta of the other variable

It seems that the C/C++ code of the new svg filter is very good with 
respect to the 5.4.x one, but that in some case (multi-line vertical 
text shape) the second (and the following?) line position coordinates 
are computed with the delta swapped (and in one case added instead of 
subtracted).


In the p.s. you can find the good and bad portions of the SVG code.

Can I file the bug? Is it already known? Could you replicate the 
behaviour? May my solution be useful for the fix?


Have a nice eventing,

Carlo

p.s.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

2018-02-08 Thread Tim-L 


Yes, I tried Insert > Media > Select Source.  It does not show my 
print/scan/copy - Canon TS9020.


Canon's Linux driver for scanning does not work with xsane.  They call 
their interface "scangearmp2".  This has hardly and options compared to 
"scangearmp" which was use for the previous printer/scanners I have had 
[all dead now].


Yes, I have 64-bit Ubuntu Mate, LibreOffice, and Canon drivers.




On a side note:

This is the first Canon printer that I bought that has Linux drivers in 
their USA web site.  I always had to go to the UK site to get the 
drivers. At least Canon is starting to get the picture that a lot of 
people in the USA are Linux users.

And another datapoint:

I tried with LO 5.4.4.2 under LXDE on openSUSE Leap 42.3 with an Epson
Stylus Photo RX620 and got a 'Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice
crashed.' (It's one of those annoyingly unhelpful error dialogs that
won't let you copy the text. GRR!)

After restarting LO, it scanned fine. I'll still prefer to use xsane.

This is the first time I looked into using a scanner withing LO,
so I do not know if it is a 6.0.0 issue or 5.4.4 or earlier issue.

Any ideas?

[libreoffice-users] Writer: how to disable table's tool tips

2018-02-08 Thread Mike 
LO 5.4.4.2 (x64) on Windows AMD64

Is there any way to turn off the tool tips associated with tables
("Select table row", "Adjust table row" etc., etc.)?

They are incredibly annoying, constantly popping up over the text I am
trying to read and/or edit.  In addition to being annoying, they are
also incorrect in what they say.  For example, when the "Select table
row" tool tip is seen and I click the mouse button, I'd expect the table
row to be selected.  It is not.

But my main concern is that the tool tips pop up and blot out the text I
want to see and provide me little to no usefulness with their
appearance.  The tool tips are one of the most irritating parts of a UI
that I've experienced in a long, long while.

I've disabled extended tool tips but that does not seem to resolve the
problem.

Is there a way to disable the table tool tips? (and only the table tool
tips)

thx.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

2018-02-08 Thread Philip Jackson 
On my (getting old now) 5.1.6.2 under UbuntuStudio, LO Writer works fine.

But Calc displays Insert > Media but the next 2 offers [Select Source
and Request] are greyed out and not available. Maybe not intended to
work with Scan ?

Re: [libreoffice-users] unsubscribe

2018-02-08 Thread Tom Davies 
Hi :)
Most organisations have instructions in the footer of any and all emails
they send.  It usually involves using a slightly different email address,
often with the word "unsubscribe" in the address, rather than simply using
"Reply to".  The Document Foundation are no different. At the bottom of all
LibreOffice emails it says;
"To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org
"

Good luck and regards from
a Tom :)
