I agree! Next 4 days off so I hope I can work on the Base 7 Guide. I would like to change the dates in the sample Database for a more actual look. Instead of looking at dates from 7 years ago, it would be nice if the reader sees more recent (2020) dates on the screenshots. /Rob On

Also - I read in a couple of places online that if you have OpenCL support enabled then the CPU threading stops. I can't test that to see if it is true because I can't seem to get OpenCL to work on this Linux desktop. Trying it on a Windows machine should answer that question. On Thu, Apr 23,

To follow up on that. Using LO 6.4 & 7.0 pre-release build on Ubuntu. Recalculating one of the OpenCL test xls files just now. Starting up with a command line MAX_CONCURRENCY=0 ./soffice Does turn the CPU threading off. Restarting with a command line MAX_CONCURRENCY=4 ./soffice Turns it back on

Hi Olivier, I am aware that you have been doing some experimentation with the 6.2 Calc Guide files to investigate problems with the generated PDF. Have you made any significant changes to any files on your computer that need to be put back into NextCloud? Or shall I start work on a 6.4 version

Toni, Based on my current understanding, the current names of those buttons don't really make any sense. Note how the "No Format" button clears both. I don't think the current help text is any good either. I would describe the "formats" you can search for as specific instances or valuations of
