I do not know what "use of the STL data" is, but fixed values are something I had feared, which can make an increase in the number of tables more difficult. My request to the developers would be to check and decide whether an increase of the table number is possible _in a short term_. Please distinguish between: (A) the number of tables can be increased without extensive program changes (B) to increase the number of tables, comprehensive program changes are necessary In case (a), the table number should be increased _in the short term_, for example to 1024. (more is better, but 1024 would already be a good value for now) Greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

I thought, however, that the "recommended" values would be for optimal working. greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Increase the number of tables in Calc
In looking at AOO source code, I'm finding lots of uses of fixed size arrays. As far as I can tell, there is little use of the STL data structures. I assume this reflects conditions when StarOffice was designed.

Will let you know if it works soon. That would be good if it worked. But please let us consider: Are 1024 a reasonable value? What would be possible at most _in the short_ term? We have to keep in mind that MS Excel and LO Calc do not have a limit for tables anymore and that must be our goal in the long term. (Of course gladly synonymous in the short term, but I think this will not be possible) Greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

OOo2.x/3.x shows this message also for documents which was created with newer OOo/AOO version. Maybe this message was already introduced in the StarOffice time. I don't know such a message. I only know the message that is shown when you want to save a .doc file when .odt is more appropriate to prevent data loss due to OpenOffice functions that do not exist in MS Word. And this message was introduced to warn users of possible loss. I don't know if there is a special document version string or if simply the AOO version is written into the document. So my question is Yes, see the "meta:generator" tag in the file "meta.xml". Example: OpenOffice/4.1.3$Unix OpenOffice.org_project/413m1$Build-9783 The same for the ODF version.

When do older versions of AOO warn “This document was created with a Microsoft is doing this in a much more hard way. Asking the PC if it has a 4-Core-CPU.

But should keep an eye on our efforts, too. Suggestion: Instead of doeing this per document, we can show more general. When the Online Update function is enabled we can use the online service [1] to get the most current version, compare it with the actual running one and show a message like "You are running Apache OpenOffice $RUN_VERSION. Version $CUR_VERSION is available. An update is suggested to be up-to-date again." newer version? […]” Must the main version number increased for such a change? No, much more code needs to be implemented for such a little thing. ;-) [1] https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Update_Service Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
