Thanks, Peter. That probably explains why I've had no further problems
installing LO; I'd forgotten that I set my security the same way quite some
time ago. BTW, my assumption (not yet fact checked) is that once someone
with an admin account accepts an app on a machine, the
developer is "identified" on that machine for purposes of upgrades to that
app.

Oh, very funny. So Ubuntu puts them in their App Store? Why should Apple
classify them that way? Why do you assume no one has already checked on
this with Apple? You blither on about so many things you apparently know
nothing about or haven't bothered to fact check. It's really tiresome.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] OSX version 10.9.1

2014-01-17 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Italo, Peter or someone else, is there a good guide (that you could
give us a link to) on how to get the Gateway Security to let us
install LibreOffice?

I managed to install on a MacBook Pro but didn't know how to deal with
the Gateway Security issue.  So now i can't just double-click on Odt
files to open them and LibreOffice doesn't appear in the contet menus
but if i open LibreOffice first and then drag the file onto it or use
the LibreOffice
File - Open
menu then i can open the file easily and there are no further
problems.  Luckily the person rarely uses that machine and rarely uses
uses Odt, at the moment but i'm going to need to solve the last little
detail in the next few weeks.


Oh btw, congrats to Italo on getting soem nice quotes into a ZdNet article!
http://www.zdnet.com/like-driving-a-ferrari-at-20mph-why-one-region-ditched-microsoft-office-for-libreoffice-725246/
It deals neatly with the (in my opinion and experience) false
impression that people have about MS Office having more advanced
features than LibreOffice.  It goes with the idea that most people use
the same 15% of features as each other and that 15% is more than
adequately covered by LibreOffice.  So upgrading from an old MS Office
to LO cost them around £50/machine where an upgrade to MS Office 2010
or 365 or anything else would have been around £250/machine.

Err i have used £ because i don't have a Euro key on my keyboard and
i've only given very rough figures.  It does kinda "get my goat" a bit
because i think LO does have advanced features and even makes some of
them much easier to access than MS Office (notably Base connecting to
external back-end by default rather than Access requiring some
hacking).  Also the quality of finished documents is much higher with
much less faffing around and there is no problem opening documents on
other versions of LO.  However, if MS Office users feel they can't
move away from MSO then this article kinda blows that away ;)))

Good work all, and many thanks from
Tom :)

The documentation mailing list is not the best place to ask these
questions, as it is focused on documentation (as the name implies) and
not on user support by volunteer members. Please use the users@ mailing
list, or the ask.libreoffice.org website.

To answer your question, LibreOffice 4.1.4 is duly signed to work with
Mavericks (I am writing from a MacBook Air with 10.9.1 installed), but
you must change the security settings to accept also software which is
downloaded from a website and not just from Apple Store.

Once you have installed LibreOffice and launched it for the first time
you can revert the settings, and this should not create problems (but
when you update the software you should remember to repeat the same
process).

Best, Italo
