Flatscher rony.flatsc...@wu-wien.ac.at wrote: Alexandro, you may want to look into http://www.ooocon.org/index.php/ooocon/2010/paper/view/196, once the slides are made available online by Peter (he has been doing a lot of work and needs probably more time to process all of the slides of the numerous presentations at this year's OOoCon, all in all, an incredible time-consuming task). UNO API Info is a tool that allows to gain documentation on the fly from any OOo programming language by either supplying the name of an IDL type (the fully qualified name e.g. of a service, an interface, a constant group, etc.) or by supplying any UNO object which then gets documented using reflection (which programmatically can be very challenging as you write yourself). The result is a writer/pdf document that has all the information So how can we make this documentation Read/Write instead of just Read Only. By that I mean that users can share examples and not just the documentation of the service. What many users have been asking for is a way that we can edit and put example uses of the services. And to be able to manage those commentaries and notifications within the same documentaion. An example of that is the information on the PHP documentation, althought many FLOSS projects have that property. A simple idea is to report to a wikilang instead of an odt/pdf and be automated the publication on the wiki. Also keep a version of the documentation so that the commentaries don't become obsolete although the problem with that is that many services still good might get lost. (Something to solve moving forward). formatted in a nice manner (members sorted by name, members sorted by type and name, constants sorted by name, depicting their values, properties sorted by name giving their type and attributes like maybevoid and the like, etc.) and also linked directly to the OOo documentation on the web. This way one can get an overview of all the functionality that is available, and for further documentation you just follow the links of those types/members that you are interested in. Finally, one can also have not only a single IDL service, interface or single UNO object documented, but also the members they contain (layer: 2). If you point your browser to http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/misc/OOoCon/2010_Budapest/, then you'll get to see example PDFs that got generated on the fly by supplying the UNO object representing a writer object (which interestingly implements more than one service). This is a somewhat extreme example, which also demonstrates how much functionality is at the hands of a programmer of the writer component. However, it also demonstrates how documentation can be devised that lets one see the forest (instead of the many trees making up the forest) too. At this OOoCon I also presented this live, demonstrating how to use this facility among other languages from JavaScript and Python. There is a readme/documentation of the tool at http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/misc/OOoCon/2010_Budapest/read-me-UNO_API_info.html.pdf, which documents this utility (including code to demonstrate how to use it from Basic, Java, ooRexx as well). The tool is not meant as a replacement for XRay and relatives, but as an additional means of on-the-fly-documentation generation with overview character to help the programmers mastering their challenging work. If you (or anyone else) have (has) any questions/comments regarding this tool, then please just post them via this list.

[api-dev] OpenOffice.org port to Qt
Hi just want to throw this out since I got approached by the KDE people at the Gran Canarias Desktop summit (guadec + akademy http://www.grancanariadesktopsummit.org/) about the factuality of migrating OOo to the Qt toolkit. Although the chances were slim I did feel obligated to upstream the question ad look at this as both a challenge and a request. Technically speaking is this possible at all, and how many effort would it take. I know that OOo has been doing some refactoring of some components to enhance the performance and also make the code easier to interact with. However is the visual layer abstracted from the application logic enough to consider replacing the toolkit? They ideas they presented is that avoiding the maintenance of our own toolkit we can open the door to free some resources to take care of more important things. Also that the Qt toolkit is a more modern and with better performance toolkit than what they have seen in OOo. Qt is also very portable as it has been ported to several architectures even mobile devices. So before knocking this idea, I would like to maybe learn more about how OOo native toolkit works within OOo. -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Espantilde;ol IM: j...@jabber.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org

Right now even a 64k seems to go beyond the limit. def trigger( self, args ): # get the actual context deskDict = self.getDesktopDict(self.ctx) viewCursor=deskDict['viewcursor'] # Go to start of document without select viewCursor.gotoStart(False) #go to endo of document selecting range from start viewCursor.gotoEnd(True) #Translate Selection ap=self.smgr.createInstanceWithContext(es.ua.apertium.transel, self.ctx) ap.trigger(execute); -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[api-dev] OpenDesktop and social applications on OOo
This email was sent by Frank I think this is an awesome oportunity to jump in. Frank is the creator of the very popular sites gnome-looks, kde-looks, and the latest opentemplates.org This is a really awesome post and I hope we do take him on this goal. Hi Alexandro, how are you? The idea of collaboration services are moving forward fast. In my keynote at the KDE Akademy I talked about integrating advanced collaboration and social networking functionality into desktop applications like KDE or openoffice.org I launched an open specification for server to client communication and implemented the functionality into all the openDesktop.org websites like for example opentemplate.org. You find the current draft for the specification here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services My keynote presentation is here: http://www.open-collaboration-services.org/socialdesktop.pdf I´m working at the moment with guys from KDE and Novell to integrate this into applications. A first implementation for people and friends management document searching and downloading and other stuff is already working. In the next step i plan to do document sharing between users. I really would love to work with you guys from openoffice.org on this vision. I think we have a huge potential to build something really new and exiting. And this functionality could be a real USP for free software to get a bigger part of the marketshare. Have you a idea how we could push this forward? What do you think? Cheers Frank On 06.08.2008, at 17:44, Alexandro Colorado wrote: Hi Frank, how are you. Well I am really interested on the functionality earlier this year I tried to assemble a developer team that will take on this task however the team really never got assemble. The few developers (2) drop the ball and became pretty hard to go through. I don't think is that hard to do still, since the OOo API has good XML parsing, and a GUI designer and there is 3rd party software to package the extensions quite easily. Problem is basically finding the right people to do it. My guess is that if you can get that team or at least have some time to dedicate this yourself I can show u what is needed to be done from OOo API part.

I´m giving the keynote on this years KDE Akademy conference in Belgium. I will talk about a new cross platform and cross application collaboration standard I´m working on at the moment. openTemplate.org and the other openDesktop.org websites will support the first draft of the new standard open collaboration services of course. The new and improved api will launch this weekend. The interesting point is that the new api standard is completely website and application independent. So other websites will act as provider too. Are you still interested in integrating a share point like functionality into openoffice.org? If not, could you name me a contact person of OpenOffice.org who is responsible for this functionality?

Re: [api-dev] SystemShellExecute.execute(document) opens always Firefox in Linux
MIME type handling in Gnome 2.8 Related Files: This section will give you a small introduction which files need to be modified in order to change the system for your needs. Each of the shown files needs to be changed with root access. - /usr/share/applications/defaults.list This file contains the applications which cause a double-click success. All Mime types will point to a desktop file. - /usr/share/applications/[application_name].desktop This is the file where defaults.list will point to. One of the most important things inside this file is the entry MimeType=. - /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Contains information in similar form shown for file defaults.list in same directory. This file contains ALL associations given to a mime type. There is no need for a specified order of desktop files (see XMMS example lateron) - /usr/share/mime (Directory) This directory contains several information. The sub-directories - excluding packages - contain information about given mime types. You'll see that many mime types already exist. The packages directory contains the DATABASE calles freedesktop.org.xml! - /usr/share/mime/globs This file contains the file extensions, associated to the mime-types.

[api-dev] Launching an application from Shell

[api-dev] Making Live Spreadsheets: Can OOo connect to an XML feed
Is it possible to make a live spreadsheet, meaning that the content of the cells are provided by a live XML feed from an APi. The idea is to have stock charts/currency exchange/ and/or pricing of products directly inserted into a Calc spreadsheet and users can add calculation to this live objects such as graph a yield or update their price to their local currency automatically. Internet -- XML Feed --- OOoMacro -- Live Spread Sheet My first question will be if the XML can be register as a DataSource, which protocol to use so OOo can identify it as a datasource, second will be how to use the XML parser that OOo includes (SAX?) from the Macro API and finally can this connection be mantain as permanent or should it be required every x seconds. First idea is that hdbsql is close to this question because of its native XML method of storage. OOo should at some point parse the information to be included into the widgetery. The parser should be available somewher around the com.sun.star.xml and the registry could be on a fetch array function within the scripting framework to finally be inserted into a cell. Am I ignoring something I should also be aware? Any answer to the previous doubts about best way to connect and parse? -- Alexandro Colorado CoLeader of OpenOffice.org ES http://es.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
