Attached a simple document with one section and some text both inside and outside it. Put the cursor on the last paragraph → Select All → DEL → Writer crash. But even if you don't select the whole document but just the section plus some text outside it, pressing DEL will give a crash. This problem is not present on 3.4.1 where section and its content is properly deleted. my first attempt to reproduce this failed or brought up a different behaviour but no crash. Steps 1-3 finished in deleting the paragraph behind the section and the cursor is in the section. No crash but I am also not able to enter any text behind the section. But this is potentially because I don't know the magic keys to insert a paragraph behind a section. I remember similar things when I tried to insert text in front of a table and there was a trick. The usability is poor but I see no crash I will do some further tests...

OK, I think I was not clear here. I know the ext_sources directory is part of our SVN tree. The directory is in SVN, but most of its contents are downloaded at build time. If you run svn status there, you'll see the files downloaded by ./bootstrap (in compressed form). Uncompressed files are found in main/MODULENAME, so hsqldb sources, for example, get uncompressed and patched in subfolders of main/hsqldb.

Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons
Hi Kevin and Samer, Thanks for the explorations and contributions. The icons looks great! I love them! I prefer the flat ones which are not have gulls because they looks simple and clear. But I also agree with Kevin that we should explore the icons with and without the gulls. I suggest we can have the different size for these icons, for example 16pixel/24pixel/32pixel. So that have a preview at small size. 2013/7/8 Dennis E. Hamilton dennis.hamil...@acm.org Another option would be to ditch the single gull and have a flat orb in the upper left corner, in its original colors. The desktop icons might need to be toned down a bit to not clash. Likewise for the document icons, which don't scale well with those gradients. (Also, when did OpenOffice get two tones. Was I sleeping?) This works to indicate that Apache OpenOffice is the associated application. It also works when there are other decorations, such as a lock or signature security indicator, other indicators that tend to be overlain on the lower left corner. Some do it differently, especially for large icons associated with documents. The format may be identified in the upper left (e.g., PDF) and the associated application is indicated in the main symbol (Acrobat Reader). Microsoft uses generic icons for word-processing, spreadsheet, presentation, e-mail applications, etc. There is then a single-letter badge that indicates the application when it is a Microsoft associated format. For Apache OpenOffice having the orb as a badge on each of our designs serves a similar purpose. It occurs to me that the page surround is not needed. The larger versions of the inscribed symbol can be used on its own, with the orb in the corner of those. They might be borderless then, apart from the shape of the central symbol, and the page curl could go away. (Whether a simple document-page surround is used on large icons, such as 64-bit ones, is a different matter. That option remains.) The difference between a template and the document icon is pretty subtle. I get the tear-off from a pad of paper, but only because that is the only way I can explain it to myself. With uninscribed icons (other than the colored framing of the different symbols), maybe the difference is for the template graphics to be with dotted or dashed lines rather than solid. Just grasping at straws here. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Kevin Grignon [mailto:kevingrignon...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, July 7, 2013 06:43 PM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Cc: dev Subject: Re: [UX][DESIGN EXPLORATION] - flat application icons I think we should explore the icons with and without the gulls.

Anyway, I suggest to focus on the release first and concentrate on branches such as this when we released AOO 4.0. So, unless I use --disable-mozilla, I'm still unable to make a full build on a recent system. Even for building trunk I'd suggest to use the prebuilt mozilla binaries. The mozilla/seamonkey source tarball is way obsoleted for many years already. The alternatives are to invest energy on a) updating the tarball to build on modern tool chains b) update the tarball and our codebase to work with newer versions c) weigh the benefits (address book) of this extremely heavy dependency vs. its drawbacks and draws the consequences: remove the moz dependency and replace the most important address book sources The branch attempts to do c) which is the most reasonable goal I think.

Re: [RELEASE]: proposal for an update of the AOO 4.0 release schedule
Hi, based on the current situation and open showstopper I haven't created a branch for the release yet. But I pan to do so on Wednesday or Thursday. And my plan is to start building a RC on this branch and provide the RC at the end of the week. Evaluation and voting will start immediately and in paralell we should also continue the further preparation work to have everything in place. For example improved release notes, announcement, etc. Some further explanation why not all proposed showstopper can and will be fixed. Some of the issues are not really showstopper, others require much more work and can't be fixed easily. I looked on the activity in general and what is going on in certain areas. For example issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122312, I completely agree that this should be fixed asap but on the other hand I see no activity. And I believe this issues requires more guidance of what exactly is to do. Somebody who feels responsible to drive it... Similar to the task with the logo that finally Rob had driven with many helping hands. Rob did not directly the art work but he summarized and pushed and tried to convince people to work on it. The same is necessary with this content. Somebody have to drive it for 4.1 because I don't see something happen for 4.0. We try to fix as many as possible potential showstopper issues until Wednesday. But nobody should be annoyed if her/his showstopper get not fixed. And regarding the timing of the release, from my pov it doesn't make sense to postpone the release if no real showstopper comes up. We will always find new issues that seems to be important and that should be fixed in time. We can think of a 4.0.1 with more critical bug fixes and further languages. Important is a stable program for the majority of our users.

I hope you share my view on this updated plan and you will continue to help that we can achieve it. First of all I am still thinking that we should release the 4.0 as soon as possible and before the majority will take a break and go in summer holidays. And with a potential second release later this year in mind I believe July is the best time. We are a little bit behind my proposed schedule that we can't hold under the current circumstances. It's ok, we worked hard, did a lot of testing, work on translation and things moved forward. But when I take a look on the list of proposed show stoppers and the not yet integrated help for the sidebar and the translation, I believe we should adapt our release plan to take the current situation and status into account. I see the following work items that we have to complete before or in parallel to the vote of an RC: - sidebar help merge the English help file on Pootle and give the translation volunteers at least the chance to provide a translation. This is not yet done because the lack of time (I am the bottle neck here and maybe other volunteers can jin me in the future to work on this). The sidebar is the most visible improvement in 4.0 and now where we have a help file, it should be translated if possible - finish general translation update, means update Pootle with offline translated strings on demand, merge the localized strings back from Pootle, run gsi consistency check to find potential problems like mismatched xml tags.

We expect to come up in the end with a list of 15-20 real show stopper issues - prepare the update service - prepare release notes (attractive marketing material that can be used), with screenshots as many as possible to highlight the features and bug fixes - logo integration as first step of an ongoing brand refresh - depends on the availability of the logo files - RAT scan - have to be checked - document migration path for incompatible API changes, not migrated extensions Some of these points have to be finished until the first official release candidate (RC). Taking all this into account I would like to propose the following update: - Wednesday June 19th, update Pootle with sidebar help and provide Po files for all current languages available on Pootle. - Monday July 1th, deadline for the localization, it always takes more time to merge it back and fix potential problems - Monday July 1th, deadline for logo integration - Wednesday/Thursday July 3/4th, provide last snapshot build with all available translations, logo if finished etc. - create new AOO release branch on Wednesday July 4th after the last snapshot - continue fixing show stopper issues until Friday July 5th on the new created release branch - start RC build on

The line was checked in on Dezember 4th, 2009 with the comment: #i96594# Allow customization of 'register for Microsoft File Types' in custom setup Running the setup.exe is a little different from only installing the MSI.

My name is David Ashelman and I have bachelor degrees in computer information systems and mathematics. I really believe your software is very robust and extremely reliable. I have a lot of experience writing MSI database application setups also teaching computer theory to new MSI crafters. If I can help, then let me know how I can improve your already remarkable software. Since 1996, I've been a network administrator, a software design support engineer, an InstallShield technical trainer, a software Release/Build technician, a Windows migration consultant, and an application packaging engineer. Hello Dave, Thanks for writing and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! You can read some more about the project and how we work here: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/ (Just scan that material for background info) Setup/install is an area where we have a lot of room for improvement. Juergen and Dave Fischer mentioned the code signing side of this. Another area is to look at possibilities for incremental patch updates. Currently we require users to download/install the full version for every update. Regards, -Rob I have good technical skills and experience with people and software engineering. * Two (2) Technical College Degrees (Computer Information Systems + Math) * Four (4) years of experience employed by the corporation Flexera, who made AdminStudio. I was responsible for supporting and training users of that software (Flexera Admin Studio) * I worked at InstallShield from 1999 - 2003 the time when software packaging began From 2000-2003, I taught software application packaging, software design Best Practices, and Windows migration around the United States, Canada, Great Brittan while working for Flexera, Macro Vision, or InstallShield. During that time, I saw how very difficult understanding software builds, releasing, and installs was for certain software application developers. So, instead of simply reciting the InstallShield product examples, I wrote a book illuminating and shedding light on hard to grasp concepts and how to best handle those concepts in computer data transfer. Multiple illustrations and mathematical proofs and equations explain everything you need to know to make great software and application installations. * Fourteen (14) years software build/release, software installation authoring, application packaging engineering, Windows migrations From 2003-13 I have been around the United States meeting great people, solving complex Windows migrations, solving software application packaging projects, creating software build releases, and authored multi-platform software installations. With a little luck, hopefully we can work together. I’d like to help you improve your software solutions. Your future is bright. Kind regards David W.

RE: EXTERNAL: Re: OpenOffice 3.3 and Java 7
Herbert, Thanks for the response. I've been informed by Nicolas Christoper of Adfinis Sygroup that the Solaris x86 port was not completed, but could be completed at cost. I am not sure where my organization will go from here. We've been using the OpenOffice API to meet some of our customer requirements and would like to stick with OpenOffice to prevent any re-engineering for another office suite. However, as I said, the Java 7 directive is now forcing our hand in one direction. In an attempt to prevent any additional cost to our project, it may be in our best interest to port OpenOffice to Solaris x86 ourselves, but we are considering our options. Advice?

What shall I do about 3.3 not being supported? There is not a OpenOffice 3.4 available for Solaris 10 x86 under the ASF. As you know our friends at Adfinis Sygroup provided a Solaris-X86 build of AOO 3.4.0 https://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-x86 It is not an official ASF build, but it is based on the official sources, their developers contributed AFAIK all their changes back to the Apache OpenOffice project and were trusted with committer status in the project. IIRC from an ASF perspective the only relevant part of the release is the source code. If the code compiles and works on solaris-x86 it could already be considered part of the release. Binaries are provided only for practical reason of end-users. Unless binaries are built on the official sources and tested by third parties they cannot be endorsed by the project, of course. For solaris-x86 being part of the official release not too much is missing IMHO: regular milestone builds, testing by the solaris-x86 community and more participation in the release process.
