Re: [libreoffice-users] Huge security bugs
I have been using LibreOffice and OpenOffice before it for many years and have never seen such behaviour. As for associating older files, that's an operating system function, where all files of a specific type, no matter how old, are associated with the specified app. So, if you associate XLS files, then every one of them on your computer will now be associated with LibreOffice, no matter how old. You cannot control this according to age. Jan wrote: Today in good faith I downloaded and for trial your Libre Office pack. I installed it and already during the installation I expressly didn't wish it to associate with files created by other software. After I launched it then, it immediately and completely illogically asked me about “restoration” of files I had at the time open in running Open Office. I didn't authorize such nonsense, but your software instead of leaving the files alone deleted the files and destroyed my unfinished work. It deleted several dozens of open locked versions of both MS-Excel and Open Office spreadsheets I was working on, caused immediate crash of Open Office subsequently, while even - perhaps to add insult to injury - associated itself AGAINST my authorization with old versions of the files created in Open Office and MS Excel - which could be all described as most violent malware behavior imaginable. Your pack maybe is for free, but the damages caused to me by its behavior on my computer, intruding files created by other software, I estimate to several thousands USD on lost data, calculations and graphical representations, which took me several weeks to put together, analyze and plot. Nobody can wonder I'm now considering gain publicity for whole affair and get your software blacklisted by antimalware providers, because it clearly behaves against the general contract and legal regulations, intruding and destroying intelectual property created using the software provided by third parties.

Then simply delete that file and replace it with the backed up file, and you have all of your settings, e-mail, bookmarks, server settings for filezille, and everything exactly the way was.

I'm not sure how you got that. I have a calendar tab next to the tab. The calendar shows my own personal Google calendar, along with that for a group I belong to. I don't have a separate Google Calendar tab. Lightning syncs with both my own and the group calendar. I'm not sure what you did wrong.

It was also designed as a logical system, tied to defined physical constants. I recently watched a video about how the new standard for a kilogram was the number of atoms in a precisely measured silicon sphere. The kilometre was originally defined in relation to the distance from the equator to the poles, but is currently determined by the wavelength of light emitted by the kryton-86 items. This shows the metric system is defined in terms of physical constants and not some unmeasurable item such as the length of a long dead king's arm. If a country is serious about a change, than all measures must be provided for a while in both units and after while the old units must disappear. In Canada, when Km and °C came in, there was a switch over date, the road sides had stickers placed over the old speed limit in miles to show in Km. Weather reporting swithed to Celcius. As for physical things, there was a date given, where dimensions had to be specified in metric, but this applied to things made after that date and older items could still be sold. However, manufacturers switched production well before that date. The switch over was also phased in, so only one thing changed at a time. -- 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
