I think that makes sense. If a PR has to be large then that work should be on a 
branch and then rebased.

[SUGGESTION] Don't make the commits too big

[Marcus]

@all AOO developers

In order to prevent problems like this ...
"I need to find a specific code change in a commit big like the Mount 
Everest"

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124285

... we should agree that commits should not be too large. Then a 
regression, missing code part or else is much easier - and faster - to find.


E.g., doing the code changes of this wiki page is one commit should be 
prevented but split in reasonable commits:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/ODF+1.3+Changes

What do you think?

Thanks

I use OpenOffice Calc to track my personal budget, as well as items
and
budgets for our nonprofit, Heroes Outreach Program. There is one
feature
that I would find very useful and that would save me a lot of time.

When selecting the cell background color or font color, I would like
it
if when you clicked on the button that it would color the box in the
last color selected rather than having to go into the drop down and
selecting the same color cell after cell. This function is available
in
Microsoft Excel and I find it very useful and would find it just as
useful in Open Office Calc. I prefer to use open source software
rather
than feeding Microsoft.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Suggestion

[Peter Kovacs]

I think OpenOffice is about developer freedom to do what he wants to do.
If a someone shows up and wants to do an email client, then let him.

Even if the project spins off into its own realm because there are only
little things that both benefit from.

I do not believe any harm is done by that.


I do not have to believe in the client in order to support this. I just
have to be curious where other OpenOffice modules could benefit from
features an email client would bring.

And then is the trick to do this right. I have already some ideas.


BTW, we use a lot of dynamic libraries. This is a clear hint that
OpenOffice is not monolithic. Just the Architecture is not understood,
or wrong designed / used.

A monolithic build would only consist of static linked libraries.
(According to the book Clean Architecture)


All the best

I used StarOffice when it had a mail client, never used its mail, and 
did not see any of my colleagues using it.


There may be a case for an Outlook-replacement mail and scheduling 
client. If so, I think it would be better as an independent project, 
free to pick its programming language, libraries etc.

Yes, but it is due to a misleading analogy with what Microsoft does (or 
used to do) by incorporating a mail client into their Office suite.


The main mission of OpenOffice focuses on office productivity, and I 
think we are still good at that. The code is very monolithic and an 
external solution (Thunderbird being a natural choice) is more or less 
the only option that makes sense.



To be clear: This is a more year effort.


E-mail has moved to the cloud much faster than office productivity. 
Honestly, if we ever were to announce that OpenOffice would start 
actions for including a mail client in the (not immediate) future, this 
would be irrelevant to most people even among our own users.


In short, I think adding an e-mail client never made sense, and that 
this was irrelevant even when it was actually in the suite (not named 
OpenOffice yet), but it is even more irrelevant now.


If someone is going to join to help with creating an e-mail module, it

Re: Suggestion

[Peter Kovacs]

Hi John,

I am open for an OpenOffice Email Client.


As Markus writes OpenOffice Project would need to start from the
scratch. Maybe reaching out to Thunderbird, Evolution or another email
Project will provide faster results, and is the more efficient approach?
(As Markus suggests)

However if you are determined for an OpenOffice Email client I say you
have to go into the lead. We should do things right and start writing up
all features we need/want.

I suggest we use the user story method. This is a successful design
method and requires only user skill and in our case Wiki tool knowledge.


I think the request for a OpenOffice Mail Client has been placed
repeatedly over time. Maybe if someone starts making first steps in this
direction others step up to support this.

I do not think the work done is lost, even if it does not sky rocket
right away.

To be clear: This is a more year effort. It is nothing to be done just
like that.


Do you accept the Challenge and start writing user stories for an E-Mail
Client in OpenOffice?

I help you getting started.


BTW I found this:

Hi Marcus,

One facet of all this has changed. In keeping with perpetual greed MS 
has copied the cash cow concept adopted by adobe - you don't get the 
program you rent it thus insuring they get your money.


I loaded outlook and and because I think they are pushing the online 
stuff suddenly my copy no longer functions how about that?


Thunderbird is pretty barren, and seems to frequently do stuff I don't 
care for examples do not come to mind as this is written  but the $$ 
angle with MS is the dominant item. Customer needs to be milked.


Can't express my loathing for that enough.

Thanks for your comments. Perhaps as MS tightens the wire a new or

Suggestion: Correction of Spreadsheet Menu;Name>Define

[oscarbober]

Currentproblem: When I put the <=> sign in a spreadsheet cell and thengo to the 
'Location Cell' which is situated just 


abovethe column headings on the left side of the screen and click on 
thelocation cell, there appears a partial list of 


functionsbeginning with the function for sum().  This list prevents thelisting 
of created names for locations on the 


spreadsheetwhich I made to access so as to travel to and use for 
calculationpurposes.  The functions so listed in this area 


area partial duplication of the complete list of functions obtained bythe 
insert.Currently, I haveto 


knowthe geographical location of all forms I copied onto the spreadsheetpage in 
order to move the cursor to the location 


(by notusing an equal sign and then after entering the location cell I 
canlocate the defined name, copy it and return to my original cell 


andcopy the name which then gives me the amount I am interested 
in).Alternatively, if I remember the defined name I can enter it 


inthe cell I want to enter a calculation and then complete thecalculation. 
(I've devloped on a spreadsheet copies of  IRS 


formsI use with the appropriate formulae required to calculate my incometax 
each year).  I want to use the = sign so when 


Ienter = where I am working and then place my cursor on the locationcell thus 
have my list of defined names made available, I can then 


selectthe desired name and press ,enter>. This will copy the originalcell entry 
(usually, a number) into the desired cell 


whereI can work on it if desired. This procedure would save meconsiderable time 
in updating figures and checking them.


PossibleSolution: Eliminate the partial list of functions from the LocationCell 
when an = sign is created in any spreadsheet cell.




I hope my suggestion is sufficiently clear. If not please let me know
Thanks.

[Valery Sivakov]

Dear Friends,

thanks a lot for you brilliant products.
Nevertheless I  ask you to think about involving speech recognition tool in
OO writer.
I have learned, when one is writing his brain operates in focus mode. That
makes to type on keyboard and keep idea quite a difficult thing. So speech
recognition tool could significantly assist to write down ideas and convert
notebook or PC into typewriter secretary. I believe all necessary
technology already exist, but are not brought together in a right place. OO
writer is a right place. Entering big text via typing is wasting a time,
especially when most of the people use mobile phones. Lett do old thinks in
a mordern style.

Best regards,
Valery

Re: Suggestion for software please

[Mathias Röllig]

When I have a personal document (odt) with hyperlinks in it (copied
from another personal on-line document), I suggest software
capability increase to allow a person to click on the document (odt)
and then right-click to show the added software to remove all
hyperlinks.


Simply highlight all text and use
Format → Default Formatting.



That's it.


Exact.

please don't re-invent the wheel. ;-)

Such manager is already existing with the Navigator. Here you can see 
all links, rearrange, edit, or even delete them.


IMHO This should be enough.

Hi Bruno,

when nobody has answered until now then it's maybe that nobody sees your

I also don't see a connection to your Internet-centric product.

Hello Lisa --

And thank you for your interesting suggestion. On searching I actually
found some products that claim to do exactly what you suggest -- at
least for some operating systems I would think.

Currently, Apache OpenOffice relies on volunteers to maintain our
dictionary/thesaurus addons/extensions and we have no plans to develop a
stand alone dictionary/thesaurus program.

OpenOffice suggestion

[Bob Abrahams]

I'm not sure where to send this, so I'll try here.

In the toolbar for OpenOffice Writer and OpenOffice Calc (and perhaps other 
OpenOffice modules) there is a Paste item with a drop-down menu available. 

I would like to see a drop-down menu for Paste in the context (right-click) 
menu. It would have the same menu options as for the Paste toolbar drop-down. 

This would be different from Paste Special... in the context menu in Calc.  

Two possibilities for implementation: 
1) Add a menu -- ►on the right -- to the existing Paste menu item;
   or
2) Leave the Paste menu item as is and add a new item - Paste With Options ► - 
with the submenu.

I happen to be a right-click mouse fan, so I would like to have this available.

Thanks.

Bob

All your four (so far) suggestions make sense, but as Rob already wrote

All of them probably have too a narrow scope to be suitable for Summer

Suggestion (2) for summer of code project

[Rory O'Farrell]

OpenOffice silently substitutes a 'best-fit' font if a desired font is not 
available. It would be helpful if the use of a substitute font was drawn to the 
User's attention: this might make a Summer of Code project.

John_Ha (en_Forum) says: I use the TestFonts add-on to check which fonts are 
in use - some of the code might be re-useable. TestFonts only checks when you 
run it. It would be more useful if the notification that a called for font 
was missing was continuous - perhaps colouring the font name in the font box? 
Or a window opening at startup saying that Fonts A, B and C fonts called for, 
but are missing; so X has been substituted for A, Y for B and Z for C.

[Suggestion(?)] on Tables Quirk

[Glenn Harvey Liwanag]

Hi there.

I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to send it here but I just noticed
something while working with tables inside AOO Writer. The *tables do not
necessarily auto-fit* with relation to the horizontal page margin
(depending on how you're using it) *when* you suddenly decide to *change
page size*. I don't see any option to have it fit to the page margins of
the typing orientation (orientation or landscape). I haven't tried it with
changing orientation but this is what I know right now. I discovered it
while doing my school paper.

Does it make sense to add something like that, or is it just some consumer
thing?

Among other things, I told here some weeks ago that I'll try to set up an
environment in my OS X but the instructions seem to touch some system files
that I don't want to risk doing so as far as external research of involved
commands and files needed are concerned. I tried an alternative method to
installing things, but I only end up with a lot of *make* and *build *
errors.

Suggestion: Mailing list warning needed?

[Rory O'Farrell]

On the Wiki page which gives links to the mailing lists, I think there ought be 
a prominent warning that certain lists are high traffic lists (many messages 
per day) and that people should consider seriously whether they can cope with 
this.

Perhaps the subscription process should require an extra confirmation step to 
prevent inadvertent or malicious subscription?

We don't have a single button, but we are rather close in functionality. 
You find the same options under the Format menu, and you can add the 
individual options to the toolbar. We even provide icons for the all to 
lowercase and all to uppercase functions.


So everything is already available, but having one single button could 
be a usability enhancement. You may want to file a request tagged

Find a solution for the setting via Font effects by Ariel attached to

A suggestion for feature of spread-sheets

[im]

30 July 2013
Dear people at Open Office,

I will try and keep this simple, I have a suggestion for a feature for your 
spreadsheet package. (I have no idea which email to send my suggestion to, so I 
am sending it here, Please pass it on to the correct department). 

This is for a planning function, All it requires is the ability to rotate a 
spreadsheet about 30-60 degrees counter-clockwise.
Perhaps you are familiar with Gantt charts as a planning aid. Below is one I 
copied from the internet, (© Ralph Lengler  Martin J. Eppler). You will notice 
that there is a lot of wasted space in the top-right and bottom-left corners. 
rotating it would just make it easier to print out and display.



to show what I mean, I did the following... (using Coreldraw, sorry, I am not 
prepared to spend days learning the open-office drawing package, just to draw 
one diagram).


The chart above describes a set project with a decisive start and finish. The 
system would have more use where planning is required for a continuous process, 
(the number of 'items' stretches indefinitely,)

Perhaps it may be easier to achieve the same, by extending the print function, 
by selecting the relevant cells, rotating them to a suitable angle then 
printing (or displaying).
As i said, just a suggestion.


regards Dave Patel.

Hi there, FIRST, let me just say that I am in awe of the work you all do
and really, really, REALLY, appreciate having all of OpenOfffice's tools
available to me.

Sorry, but there is a BUT coming: One of the very few things that MS Word
does better than OpenOffice Writer is that it allows one to do a global
replace of the Shift-Enter character with ^p.

The reason that this is a good thing and would be VERY helpful, is that
when one copies text from an online document, the paragraphs invariably are
made with Shift-Enter.

Example: (unfortch, those dratted little arrow thingees don't show here,
just imagine one at the end of each truncated line:


Danans in the early ages. The terms Sighc, /Sigheog, and Siabhra, were
applied by the Irish to Fairies : hence came the names Sktbhrog,  a fairy
habitation; Sluagh-Sighe, the fairy host; and Bean-Sighe,  a fairy
woman. The fairies were also called by the Irish Deamhain-Aedhiry
signifying Demons of the Air; and frequently Daione-Maithe, meaning
*' the good people — being so denominated for fear of giving them offence,
and
dreading their power%

 As one can see, fort of, it's tedious in the extreme to replace each of
these characters individually in order for the text to flow properly.
Thank you for your time and for this great suite of tools.

Kind regards,

Slightly different syntax in OpenOffice

/Edit /Find and Replace 
In the Find box \n
In the Replace box \n
Drop More Options and select Regular expressions.
The \n has different meanings in each of the boxes.  In the Find, in means 
Shift Enter, in the Replace it means Paragraph mark

 I recently started a document with 4 columns.  I then tried to have no
 columns on subsequent pages.  As far as I can tell, it can't be done
 without removing the columns from the first page.  Can you incorporate
 some method of easily discontinuing columns in a document?

 Hi Donald,

 Please add page break with a different page style, and then to modify the
 column setting for the subsequent page..In AOO, the page settings are
 applied to page style. So, you need to use page style for your scenarios.
 Hope it helpful for you.Thanks.

 Hi, Donald,

 Columns are a property of page styles and sections. For what you want, 
 simply assign a different page style to your second page: one with only one 
 column. The Default style will probably suffice. The new style will 
 propagate to the following pages.

 Questions like yours are better directed to our users' mailing list:
 us...@openoffice.apache.org

Now for releases, release planning, we have the AOO 3.4 Release Plan is its
own subcategory under Project Planning.

However, other Release Plans are under a sub-category called Releases.

Are there any objections to promoting Releases to a top-level category
and put the various version release plans under that (including 3.4)?

I  must  be in a spring cleaning mood! :}

Re: suggestion for another cwiki change..new

[Dave Fisher]

I am personally fine with whatever you do along the lines of surfacing current 
planning efforts and archiving old efforts.

For cwiki articles that should be moved to Mwiki then perhaps a For MWiki 
category would make sense.

If you need someone with full confluence admin rights let me know, I'm happy to 
help.

Dave
