[dev] copying/stripping basic to binfilter
Hi, In the course of issue 73329, I copied a stripped version of the basic module to binfilter (binfilter/bf_basic, building a bf_sb lib). The code base used for this was a 680m199. As a consequence, and as long as the respective CWS (basmgr02) is not integrated (which might take a while due to QA constraints), I kindly ask to notify me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) of any binfilter-relevant changes you do in basic. That is, if you for instance add code in the basic module which is needed to fix a binfilter bug, then I'd need to duplicate this code in my binfilter/bf_basic. With every resync of my CWS, I will try to judge the changes which happened in the master, whether or not they have binfilter-relevance. If in doubt, I'll ask the developer who did them, but if you could tell me changes before I encounter them on resync, that'd be nice.

Re: [dev] Window Scrolling Performance with Images
Terry Alexis Lurie [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: It looks as though the buffer is blocking and copying in the bitmap 100% before switching back to other tasks. So if the copy is not as fast as the scrolling action, then the scroll lags while it completes. [...] My thoughts are: 1) Find out where the bitmap copy-in operation is and make it cancellable. Cancel if further scroll action requested 2) You guys have done a good job with the wireframe ZOOM_PANNING which is nice and quick. Maybe I could make an option to switch that into the scroll action instead. 3) A cheap cache with a mem-resident downsampled image. This is what Adobe Ilustrator does when scrolling. 4) Some combination of those three. Hi Terry, great that you want to go fix this! The code doing the bitmap scaling/setup is in module goodies, goodies/source/graphic/grfmgr?.cxx, to be specific. There's already some buffering going on, but it's clearly possible to extend that with a lo-res bitmap for fast repaint. You can poll for pending user input via Application::AnyInput() from vcl, so, doing that in the bitmap interpolation outer loop should make that cancellable - problem is to get the GraphicManager code to be called again eventually, to repaint with the full-blown bitmap. Have a look at svx/source/svdraw/svdograf.cxx, which implements the Draw/Impress graphic shape. There's already a timer-based demand-loading feature, you might borrow from that to have a timer call the graphic shape again, after the scrolling has finished. Hope that gets you started, feel free to ask again, on freenode irc #dev.openoffice.org, here or on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list!

Huh? What other images are there than file based ones? If you use a webserver you can maybe add the code to the url and have a cgi generate it, but you can't with a file url. You still didn't understand what the codesnippets does. It uses a temporary file and inserts it into the document, so that you can remove the temporary file afterwards. Even for internal (embedded) images, there are URLs (special ones that point into the document-container).

[dev] OO_Objects
Hi I am trying to identify embedded objects in a openoffice doc with out having to open it. I can enumerate a doc and find object1 , obect2 ect. However I can not find a way to identify what program the embedded objects belong to ie impress, calc or even execel if it is a word doc. Can any one help me out or advise me on what to look at in the API that may achieve this. I would also be grateful for any examples or links to examples that would help explain how to do this.

Split the build into two parts the API stable ure stuff, and the rest. I'm trying to home-brew some hackery to fake this up. The current practical problems are of course as listed above and that to e.g. build the sdk separately from OOo and then to build OOo against that sdk+ure combination you need to have a) config_office, dmake, solenv, instsetoo_native, soltools, scp2 and readlicense_oo in both the sdk+ure and OOo build trees b) have bridges, cli_ure, codemaker, cppu, cppuhelper, cpputools, idlc, io, javaunohelper, jurt, jvmaccess, jvmfwk, offapi, offuh, rdbmaker, registry, remotebridges, ridljar, sal, salhelper stlport, stoc, store, udkapi, ure, unoil, xml2cmp, odk, sdk_oo autodoc, udm, cosv, unodevtools, jut in the ure tree b) and jvmfwk3rc and unorc are generated in the ure tree for both itself and for the final OOo product, as well as the forementioned .rdb files so you need to cheat and stick them into a package generated from the ure build and reuse them from inside the OOo build and then fiddle with some variables to add the sdk includes and the ure libs to the SOLARINC and SOLARLIB etc. So it's certainly kludgy to try and do it right now, but is a very attractive goal for me to be able to just rebuild the portion of OOo affected by whatever bug I've just fixed. And a nice thin edge of a wedge to make OOo more modular at build-time as well as at runtime. C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [dev] File | Open default file type
Yes, that sounds good. I would change it a little bit and offer showing the filter dialog (that also needs a redesign BTW). Only offering to open as text is not enough. Especially text files are detected quite reliably. But as in most cases where OOo fails to detect the file it *is* an unknown type showing the filter dialog immediately isn't a good idea. So a message box asking how to proceed as you suggested will help. Hello Mathias, I did a preliminary spec at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/File_Chooser_Type_Handling_Specific ation I think you may have more insights than me though. Could you comment further how the filter dialog should work, vis a vis the draft spec? Thank you, Allen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] File | Open draft specification
Allen Pulsifer, 13-02-2007 14:44: I was asked to propose a spec for File | Open, more specifically, for how it handles file types. The first draft is at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/File_Chooser_Type_Handling_Specific ation Since it's highly requested, it's good to discuss. Thank you for the draft. Some of the changes from OOo's current behavior: - The default file type depends on the current application. For example, from Writer, File | Open by default displays only Text documents. The other types, including All Files (*.*) can still be chosen from the File Type drop down list. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67163 There are strong arguments against it. It would be hard for the user to open a text document while working with a spreadsheet, for instance. Off course this would be valid to be added as a user preference (not enabled by default). Another idea would to use a checkbox or another thing to make easier to select only files of that app. I.e., it could be easier (more visible) to select to only list formula documents while working with formulas (although the default still to list all documents). To hide well known unsupported file types by default could be a option (such as PDF). - If an type group such as Spreadsheets is chosen, OOo will either open the file in Calc or will fail. It will not for example open a file as a Text document when Spreadsheets is selected. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74277 It shouldn't fail... it should open the dialog of CSV import. The current behaviour is bad. If you select Text CSV it will import to spreadsheet, if you select Spreadsheet it should do the same, right now it opens as text (as of OOF680_m7). - When attempting to open files in an unsupported format, such as PDF, OOo will not try to open them as Text documents. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74295 I'm advocate to this. Please post comments here or at the Wiki talk page.

RE: [dev] File | Open draft specification
Hello Ciao, Thank you for your comments. With regard to this specific point: - The default file type depends on the current application. For example, from Writer, File | Open by default displays only Text documents. The other types, including All Files (*.*) can still be chosen from the File Type drop down list. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67163 There are strong arguments against it. It would be hard for the user to open a text document while working with a spreadsheet, for instance. Actually, it would be very easy to open a text document when working with a spreadsheet. Select File | Open. The File Chooser dialog will appear. For File Type, select either Text documents or All Files (*.*). Locate the text document you want to open and click Open. That's it. This is just one more step than the current workflow (you have to explicitly select the File Type), but it corresponds better with the expectations of new users. I don't think it is worth the complexity to make this configurable, but if others believe it is, then I would not oppose it.

Re: [dev] Removing the ability to write data into ODB files
Hi Matthias, For policy reasons we want to prevent users from storing data directly inside ODB files. But we want to retain all of OpenOffice.org features for other database types that use external storage. Does anyone have an idea how we can achieve this? Try removing the hsqldb2.dll (resp. libhsqldb2.so) library from the installation. This is the driver which implements the embedded database. The cleaner solution would be to de-register this driver at the global service manager. This is needed once, and should be possible with a Basic macro, but I don't have any code at hand.
