Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: [libreoffice-users] MySQL/MariaDB Native Linux connector for LibreOffice 4.2 and 4.3 (32 and 64 bit)
Ubuntu 12.04, libreoffice Version: 4.3.2.2 Build ID: 430m0(Build:2), MariaDB 5.5.40 Sorry did not notice Stephan's problems. Just thought the connector for MariaDb needed testing. but maybe the versions are wrong for the job. sshelagh On 20 October 2014 07:23, Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi :) That sounds good! :) Have you tried the things that Stefan Gruber had trouble with? If so it'd be nice to hear which OS you tried it on, which version of LO and which version of MariasDb. That might help people pin-point the problems Stefan has been having. Many thanks for test-driving the connector!

In other stuff I have done, there has been no problem using mariadb instead of mysql. I was able to create a simple database in mariadb and open it in base using the direct connection. I changed some data, saved it and closed base. I checked in the database on cli and the data had been entered. So I would say that you could say that it works as advertised.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Is there a way for a Basic macro to detect what application is running it?
Quickly looking through the (not very user friendly) help for LibreOffice Basic, the closest thing I found is GetSolarVersion, but that's probably not enough. While checking if the type is a struct can be a good workaround, it's not completely future-proof; there is a need for a function to distinguish between version of the Basic API (not only between AOO and LO). -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2014-10-19 21:06 GMT+02:00 Johnny Rosenberg gurus.knu...@gmail.com: Here's my problem: I have both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice installed and I use them both.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Is there a way for a Basic macro to detect what application is running it?
A ctually there was another change from the post that I put before, the Setup.xcu seems to be replaced by the registrymodifications.xcu This has an ID check that list the following node: item oor:path=/org.openoffice.Setup/Office prop oor:name=LastCompatibilityCheckID oor:op=fuse value411m6(Build:9775)/value /prop /item Unfortunately there is no such thing as a vendor name, but I hink this could be good enough, unless someone come with a better node.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fatal error when exporting a dialogue.
Hi :) I don't know what is going on there. It might be worth asking on the devs irc channel. Thinking side-ways it might be worth asking on the international translators mailing list l...@libreoffice.org as they often seem to know contet for the different strings they have to translate. It might be easier to understand their answers where the devs answers might need a bit of translating into normal English. ;) Regards from Tom :) On 19 October 2014 12:12, Johnny Rosenberg gurus.knu...@gmail.com wrote: I tried this with the same file in both Apache OpenOffice Calc and LibreOffice Calc, the same result.

LibreOffice Calc: ”StringResourceImpl: No entry for resourceID: !!br0ken!!” LibreOffice Calc crash when clicking OK. The file is saved but loading it makes LibreOffice Calc crash. The file is quite big. It takes about 23 seconds to open it with LibreOffice Calc and 51 seconds with Apache OpenOffice. Apache OpenOffice 4.1 LibreOffice 4.2 Ubuntu 14.04 My question is: What does this error message mean? Can I do anything about it? Like editing my dialogue somehow before trying to export it? Seems like some parameter somewhere is missing for some reason. An earlier version of the dialogue can be exported and imported without any problems. The difference between the new and the old dialogue is that I added a label and a number field to the new one. I did that by copying and editing existing ones. Maybe something was lost during that process. Any hints will be appreciated. I guess I could just start all over again and create a new one, but I want to know (if possible) what's wrong with the one I already have.

[libreoffice-users] Final Release: MySQL/MariaDB Native Connector for Linux
Today, I have changed the status of this connector from Release Candidate #1 to Final Release. This should be used with LibreOffice 4.2.x and 4.3.x that are downloaded from the LibreOffice website. LibreOffice that is downloaded from a Linux repository can use the MySQL native connector that its repository also contains. My version may also work with their version of LibreOffice.

[libreoffice-users] Missing feature at LibreOffice Writer.
Hi, I'm writing this because there is a *missing feature on LibreOffice Writer (4.3.2.2) *. I wanted to post online on ask.libreofice but i do not have any of the proposed accounts. (most of them are non-libre software related..) *The missing feature:* When creating text dialogs with the T (text) Button, it is not possible to change the font color. I was surprised because in libreoffice impress it is possible to change the color. So a simple hack is to copy paste the text dialog from impress to writer. The text can be modified and the color will remain. Anyways, the option is missing on libreoffice writer. This email may not be addressed to the good mailing list, if it is that the case, please transfer my message! It would be highly appreciated!
