[libreoffice-users] Relatively new behavior (in 7.2.7)

2022-08-13 Thread MR ZenWiz
I've noticed recently that the way the Find (Edit->Find or ^F) feature
works in LO 7.2.7 is different - it treats the Find panel as a
separate window without actually giving you a separate window, and
won't let you do something else, like exit the search, without
dismissing the panel.

It does allow an escape to dismiss the panel IFF the focus is still in
the panel and I'm not trying to do something outside the panel or have
already typed .

Am I alone in detesting this new "feature?" Am I wrong in seeing this as new?

It makes getting out of the search more difficult than it used to be,
without the (previous) actual sub-window that makes it clear (and easy
to dismiss) that I am not in the same place as outside the search.

I use Word now for my book writing (because LO is still not even close
to 100% compatible).

However, for almost all my spreadsheets and other writing, I prefer LO
because I'm used to it.

This "feature" drives me up the wall. It makes using "Find and
Replace" (^H) a more attractive option.

Is it worth a bug or should I find a way to adapt?

Mark

Re: [libreoffice-users] multiplying time

2022-08-13 Thread Michael D. Setzer II
± is not a time/date value it should be formated as a 
regular number and would show 8.75
8 hours and 45 minutes
Values in time format versus values in number format.


08:45:00 AM
0.3645833
06:00:00 PM
8.75


The 8.75 gets converted to 8 being the number of days, 
and the .75 is 3/4 of a day being 18 hours, so isn't a 
time/date value. But is the correct value to multiple by 
the pay rate.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Base Views and Queries

2022-08-13 Thread Robert Großkopf

Hi John,

...
MySQL/MariaDB with different drivers will be a new thread - or 
shouldn't we try it per private mail?

...


Robert, I have only been following this thread as a lurker, not 
contributor, but if I may offer a view on that question: I'm surely not 
the only person finding this thread educational, and do not see this 
latest turn as off-topic. However, whether or not you find it 
appropriate to start a new thread, I do hope you will continue on-list. 
You are doing the world a service.


… and I thought: Base - not much people are interested.

In a mailinglist I'm missing the possibility to sort the mails by 
groups, to see something in screenshots. Better solution for this is 
something like

https://ask.libreoffice.org/tag/base

If there is any question related to Base I will (try to) answer also on 
this mailinglist.


Regards

Robert
