[libreoffice-users] Re: [Qgis-user] Projection problem in QGIS 1.7.2 between EPSG 31370 and EPSG:3035
Thanks a lot to Giovanni for having checked. I wondered where the difference of behaviour comes from. In fact, when the CRS is set in project properties TO EPSG: 3035, both shapefiles match as Giovanni noticed it. But when this project-wide CRS is set to EPSG: 31370, the shift appears. Here is a link to both screenshots: http://www.yousendit.com/download/T2dlak80YXliR0pBSXRVag. As I explained in a former mail, this shift appears in QGIS 1.7.2 and not in 1.6. If you want to have a try, here are the links to the freely donwloadable shapefiles: - belgian (Walloon Region) Natura 2000 limits: http://environnement.wallonie.be/cartosig/telechargement/NATURA2000_DIFFUSION_BASE_MARS2010.zip use NATURA2000_PERIMETRES.shp. - european Natura 2000 limits: www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/natura-2000 (I use the 2009 version) NB: I can manage without the european data. I reported this as it might help bug tracking and debugging. Is this a bug of 1.7.2.? Should I file a ticket?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Brand new installation of Libreoffice 3.4.4 places a large folder on desktop! What to do with it!
The install process places a folder on your desktop that is the result of the uncompressing of the install files. This can be deleted since it was only needed during the installation of LibreOffice. I believe the reason for placing this file/folder on the desktop allows you to see where the uncompressed install files/folder is so you would not have to search for it to be able to delete it. -- Am I reading you correctly that you removed Java completely from your computer? If so why? There is still a need for Java with LibreOffice and some of its extensions. There was some indications that there were issues with the latest version of Java, so many of us are using older version of the JRE on our Windows systems. I use version 22 on my Vista laptop. As for switching from OOo to LO, I did that in the spring. Which languages did you install with your package? Here is a link to all the language dictionaries I have found. Also, here [and in the LO Extension Center] is a link to the English spell checking dictionary[s] with the largest spelling word lists. 638,000+ words in the American, British, and Canadian word lists. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html Remember, most of the OOo extensions will work with LO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Brand new installation of Libreoffice 3.4.4 places a large folder on desktop! What to do with it!
Hi :) I thought it was possible to use LibreOffice without using java. There is even an option in Tools - Options - Java to switch java off. If you avoid wizards and most Extensions / Add-ons and stuff then it doesn't really make a noticeable difference. If LibreOffice does grumble about missing java then the _21 is the best version but _20 or _22 are pretty good too. If you manage to stay free of java then your system is much safer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] MySQL Connector Extension
Hi Alexander, Maybe Lionel (cc ) has an idea of this area? (But he is on vacation now IIRC) Alexander Thurgood wrote (24-12-11 07:36) It would appear that something changed during 3.5 development in the component source code that makes the connectors I provide for Linux and Mac incompatible with versions 3.3.x and 3.4.x. I have corrected the page on the extensions site to indicate that the files to be found there will now only work with version 3.5 (which is not yet even out the door). I will not be building for version 3.3.X, as this uses the old build framework, and besides, support for 3.3.x will end soon anyway. I might, if I get the time, and find the disk space, rebuild the Linux and Mac connectors with the 3.4.x branch. If so, I will post a notice here. I'm not prepared to keep up with a moving target, which is what this project is becoming.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Brand new installation of Libreoffice 3.4.4 places a large folder on desktop! What to do with it!
There are things that still need Java, in some of the extensions, even if all of the code in LO is rewritten to Python. There are things that are good and that are bad with Java. I remember when it was first coming into use. Back then we did not have any idea about what computers/networking/Internet really could do for us. I remember a job ad that wanted at least 10 years of Java experience when Java had not been out that long. Back then people either loved it or hated it. Back then people said it was the most secure way of doing thing, while others said it was the worst. Just because LO is moving towards Python, does not mean others will follow out move. So we need to figure out a way to live with it. On 12/24/2011 10:36 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I thought it was possible to use LibreOffice without using java.

[libreoffice-users] Re: RTF to PDF Command Line
Why converting one foreign file format to another foreign file format? RTF is a native MS file format, poorly supported by LibreOffice. On Windows XP you have the WordPad and you may also install the MS Word Viewer to read RTF, doc and docx file formats. Then there are several PDF printers for free download. I can recommend FreePDF. On the command line you might be able call the MS application with a printer argument to print out the documents in question to the virtual PDF printer. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RTF-to-PDF-Command-Line-tp3609044p3611188.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
