Re: [libreoffice-users] 7.1 Writer no longer appears to remember last cursor position
Hi Mark, is there any entry in Tools → Options → LibreOffcie → User Data → First Name / Last Name? The cursor will set to the position the user endet to work with thge document. If there is no user defined it will always be set at the start of the document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Base to front-end a spreadsheet. Can you insert a new record/line?
Hi Richard, > Is there a way to use LO Base connected to a spreadsheet to insert a > new row in the spreadsheet via Base? No chance to do this directly. Base will load the Calc table when starting Base. All tables are write protected for Base. You could only change the content in Calc directly. Then you have to refesh the tables (View → Refresh Tables) to see the changed content.

[libreoffice-users] Using Base to front-end a spreadsheet. Can you insert a new record/line?
Is there a way to use LO Base connected to a spreadsheet to insert a new row in the spreadsheet via Base? Any tips, directions, howtos, or confirmation that it can or can't be done would be appreciated. -- ~~R -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic macro to insert a custom shape into a page ?
Hi Mauricio,
I have translated the steps to C++ with createInstance => new
and keeping setPropertyValue or using method MergeDefaultAttributes.
The custom shape is generated, but the faulty method (for which I have
the patch) is not touched.
It seems, it is needed, that the custom shape is generated with the mouse.
At least I now know, how to generate a custom shape in a Basic macro. :)
Kind regards
Regina

args(0).Value = "smiley"
shape.setPropertyValue("CustomShapeGeometry", args)
End Sub

Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic macro to insert a custom shape into a page ?
So my guess that you were using the gallery was wrong. On the bright side, I did figure out how to access the gallery :-) It looks like you were provided a solution with using a custom shape, another thing I have not done before! Good Luck!

That makes a kind of copy I need an object newly created with the mouse. When you click on a shape icon in the toolbar and then click and drag with the mouse to create the shape, then the created custom shape is on a wrong layer. You notice in the "Drawing object properties"-toolbar, that both "To Foreground" and "To Background" are enabled. "To Foreground" should not be enabled, because when you create a custom shape with the mouse, you are working already in the "Foreground". I have a patch for it, but struggle with the unit test.

Aha! That means, that Size and Type are set after the object is added to
the draw page.
Unfortunately using this macro, does not show the error, which I'm going
to fix. Nevertheless I will test in code, whether creating with a ctor
with new ... (which corresponds to createInstance) and then applying the
properties will work. But I will need some time for that.

[libreoffice-users] 7.1 Writer no longer appears to remember last cursor position
I upgraded to 7.1 (on Xubuntu 20.04) recently and noticed that it no longer appears to remember the last position I was editing the next time I open the file. I have a list of items I add to daily. With 7.1, when I open it for editing, instead of coming up at the end of the file, as it did up through 7.0, it now goes to a fixed position somewhere in the middle of the file. I changed nothing about the file and I didn't see any options to control this. I have the authorship properties of the file set and they remain unchanged as well. What's up? Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Polish diacritical marks
I'm on LO 7.0.4.2 and don't see the issue. Do you have the problem on 7.0 or 7.1? If you see the problem on 7.1, then I'd suggest: reporting the bug as Mike mentioned and possibly try downgrading to 7.0 for the time being to see if that fixes it. If you see the problem on 7.0, then I'd suggest upgrading to 7.1. It's my understanding that 7.0 is end-of-life so I doubt there's much value in reporting a bug for that version.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic macro to insert a custom shape into a page ?
This might seem obvious, but: 1. What document type? 2. What is a "custom" shape? Do you mean com.sun.star.drawing.CustomShape, or do you mean a Custom Shape that you have added to a Library? Not that I have never used Cutom Shapes in any way in LibreOffice, but i have written a Macro at least once. :-) I have written code that adds things such as lines (and other shapes) into documents. I might have looked at something in LO that allows me to have a bunch of shapes. On my computer, I use View > Gallery Too open it. From there it looks like I can drag objects out of the "gallery" and onto a document. I had forgotten you can do that in LO. Is this the type of graphic that you want to insert? Not that I know how, but I am trying to clarify in case it is something that I do know how to do.
