[users] animated PNG format used in OpenOffice?
Hi, I took apart an ooimpress file the other day that contained an animation. The image content was stored in Pictures/somelongnumber.png. This appears to be a regular PNG, except its much too big. The animation seems to be stored in it, as it is properly kept and handled in the impress file. However, the manifest for the document just describes the content as media-type=image/png In principle though, png does not support multiframe to my knowledge. So I wondered, what format is being used by openoffice to store animated images? Are there tools outside of openoffice that can read it? Could someone point me to documentation?

H,Michael Goodman wrote: I was unable to downloadjava in order to e-mail some cd or dvd discs to clients using our services Your subject and question don't match. However, Java is normally included when you download from www.openoffice.org. Also, OpenOffice.org is an office suite similar to and compatible with Microsoft Office. It also has nothing to do with emailing discs or anything else, although it can link to email programs to send documents. Perhaps you need to rethink your question so that we can understand what you want. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

I previously mentioned uncovering a file like this while salvaging and unzipping a corrupted Write doc with an embedded animation, and you can't tell what format such a image file in the Picture folder is because image viewers won't render it since there's no file type suffix there, which was the crux of my unanswered query. After long trial and error on my own trying various file name type suffixes on this particularly large animated file, the suffix that allowed Mac image viewers to show it was PNG, so I presume animated PNG files are rare but do exist -- much larger than animated GIFS -- but exist. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Than YOU, modestuka...@gmail.com mailto:modestuka...@gmail.com [The OP is not subscribed and probably will not see responses unless directly copied.] What you've encountered is that OpenOffice.org uses a different scripting language, not Microsoft's Visual Basic, for macros. This can't properly be called a bug, it was a considered design decision -- whether for legal purposes or something else, maybe somebody else on the list will discuss the rationale. As to what you can do, I think you'll either need to translate the macros into the OOo format, or continue using Excel. I'm including a quote here from the OpenOffice.org Migration Guide: Macros written in VBA for Excel do not work in Calc and macros written in StarBasic for Calc do not run on Excel. Re-writing of macros is required when moving spreadsheets between either application. Some additional resources for writing Basic macros include: “Porting Excel/VBA to Calc/StarBasic” http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/various_topics/VbaStarBasicXref.pdf StarOffice 8 Programming Guide for BASIC, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0439 “Useful Macro Information for OpenOffice”, by Andrew Pitonyak, http://pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt OpenOffice.org Macros Explained, by Andrew Pitonyak, available from the publisher: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm or from various online booksellers.

Re: [users] Where does Linux/Mint OOo Store RGB Color Codes?
Dear James and all: My experience is that Oo stores color codes, hatches and gradients all in the same place relative to itself. This alone does not give you the exact path, as that can vary in relation to the different platforms. However there is a simple procedure I use to load, store and migrate this data between Fedora, Win XP etc on my network, and carry it physically to friend's machines (as I have created a number of custom colours and gradients.) *_Procedure:_* In whatever installation of Oo you are using... 1)Open a blank Oo Draw file. 2)Draw a rectangle (size is minimally important, as long as it fits the page and is big enough to see the fill colour.) 3 ) Right click (PC) on the fill. 4)From the menu that appears, choose area. 5)Then choose the colours tab. 6)Close to the right side of the colour choice window, look for 2 icons, One usually a blue floppy, (to save as the colour palette), the other one above it to load a colour palette. 7)Open either one of these, and you will get the contents of the default folder that holds the color palette (usual extension: .SOC) The default file name is Standard.SOC, and the size will depend on the number of colours it contains at the time. (Mine, with added colours is only about 12 Kb.) 8)In the usual manner for navigating, start to navigate - more to see where the default folder is located than to actually do anything. 9)If you want to export a colour palette, load it into Oo, then save it with the other icon, navigating to your desired new location. Then you will end up saving a copy of it in that location, which can be a USB stick, and external or network drive or whatever you have. 10)Likewise, using the load icon, you can load a file from any other location, then save it as the Standard.SOC file, overwriting the one in the default folder and, providing the new file is a legitimate SOC, it will be the default colour palette once you close and restart Open office - no need to reboot as a rule. 11)All the preceding stuff repeats for Gradients (Default Standard.SOG) and Hatches - Default Standard.SOG 12)If the installation were on a MAC, either the HFS or HFS+ file system would likely generate the usual mac fork, or that might be done by the underlying Java runtime used with the MAC (Tiger and up.) 12a)When exporting from a MAC to a PC environment, it is normal to end up with 3 files for each part of the MAC fork: The Data Resource is the one you need for the PC, the Resource and other forks should be saved aside, so that when you need to re-import the file back from the PC world to the MAC world, you simply copy the modified PC file back into the folder where the other 2 files were kept, making sure the filenames (aside from the extensions) are identical, then, in the MAC environment, the re-integration of the 3 files back into the MAC fork is normally done automatically when you copy the file back into the MAC environment. On the older MACS, this was done with a PC formatted floppy used in the MAC floppy drive, as on either the 1.44Mb PC floppy and the same physical floppy, formatted as HFS (MAC) 900 Kb. were actually encoded MFM. On USB Sticks, the file system should be FAT16, but Likely could work with ext2 or ext3, providing the MAC OS is capable of reading those systems currently. In the case of an External HD (USB of IEEE1394/Firewire) the likely system would be FAT32. NAS drives are more complex, as they generally have a firmware OS which is network transparent. Personally here my NAS box is the D-Link DNS-323 which is a UNIX box. Since the latest major firmware upgrade flashes the obligatory initial initialise and format the box does on anew drive can be ext2 or ext3 (latter preferred) but other machines will see this as if it were NTFS, or, alternatively this box has built-in SFTP and Torrent servers as well as the more normal Windows network protocol. In Linux (Fedora 14 x_64) I access this via Samba. The box also has firmware RAID capability and scheduled automated download capability. This box can go well with D-Link's DIR-825, as it likes a Gb. Wired connection (CAT 6 cable required). Happy computing and learning! I hope you all find my answer a colourful answer (guffaw). Bruce M.
