[libreoffice-users] Cooperation in the implementation of LibreOffice

2013-12-25 Thread None None



Hello, my name is Alexander , at the moment I am a programmer in OGAOU SPO  
Belgorod College of industry and services  , country: Russia , city of Belgorod.

I want to introduce into commercial operation institution package LibreOffice 
as an alternative package of MS Office, in order to move to the format ODF, 
which in our country is a national fixed state standard ( ISO / IEC 26300-2010 
. Came into force on June 1, 2011 ) . However , implementation of this project 
gives me concerns about the advisability of this step for the following reasons 
:

I know in many business organizations and educational institutions was an 
attempt to introduce LibreOffice and OpenOffice, but they all failed. Even 
where people were friendly to the use of these products later returned to the 
MS Office package due to the low quality software LibreOffice and OpenOffice ( 
because of the continuing occurrence of bugs and endless expectations of new 
releases in which errors have not been corrected ), the appearance artifacts 
for viewing and printing of documents created in MS Office and other non- ODF 
(Open Document Format). In general, the situation is that there is a standard 
but actually exists only on paper , in addition to MS Office 2013 support is 
implemented ODF, which makes it even more attractive to use.

In my opinion , free software does not justify its poor quality. Many IT professionals 
and PC users have an opinion about LibreOffice and OpenOffice as a  shitty  
software, which can not be used in the workplace.

In contrast to system administrators trying to implement packages LibreOffice 
or OpenOffice, I am a professional programmer and familiar with the process of 
software development. In my opinion the industrial application package 
LibreOffice is possible, but subject to personal contact with the immediate 
developers package their interest in creating a quality product and 
responsiveness to the comments , suggestions for improvement and immediate 
response on the error of the package , as well as providing operational fixes 
without having to wait for the official release. I believe that developers care 
about their product and frankly, I know that in the case to contact technical 
support patches can wait for years , and a direct appeal to the developer can 
take it to cure is not more than 15 minutes .

My idea is to introduce a distinctive package LibreOffice is in close 
interaction directly with the developers and their interest in this cooperation 
.

As a result of successful implementation , the package will have the right to life and 
begin to be implemented in other educational institutions of Russia ( as exists between 
educational institutions experience exchange program , usually a methodological 
associations ) , as well information about the successful implementation of the same will 
go to the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and respectively wave on other 
ministries. This collaboration will raise the quality of software , as it will be used in 
the work (in the  battle conditions and not on the bench) .

Waiting for your reply on this proposal and look forward to working ...

Alexander.

Have a spreadsheet which roughly every 5th time I save it takes several
minutes and 100% cpu usage. Running from a terminal doesn't provide any
info. There doesn't appear a way to run debug or logging. So, how do I get
more info to provide a bug report?

That's a feature of some closed source software, notably Microsoft. You
can email them with your concerns until you're blue in the face and they
will produce an update months later if then. Open source developers will
cure problems usually in a few days.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

What tells me you're a troll is the fact that you don't know what you're
talking about. If you actually are a programmer you would know better.
Also you're using a broken mailer that puts long passages on one line
and makes inline replies very difficult.

Hi :)
i am forwarding the code to the Users List because there are often

send it on to the devs list but i am not on that one.  However given

Also, can you post the spreadsheet to Nabble? Please do not post

[libreoffice-users] presenter console - jumpy slide transition

2013-12-25 Thread Stephan Weinberger
Hello everybody...


I recently upgraded my old Debian laptop from lenny with OO (3.2.1) to
wheezy with LO (3.5.4). I have used the presenter console with
OO-Impress in a two-screen setup before and it worked like a charm.

In LO however the presenter console shows some weird behaviour on
animated slide transitions: While loading the next slide preview the
transition pauses for about half a second - which looks really crappy on
animated transitions (especially because I use it for backdrops on stage).

A workaround is to switch to the slides dialog: as soon as the preview
area is not drawn (because it's hidden behind the slide overview)
animations run smoothly again. This however is cumbersome, because in
the overview focus does not follow the current slide, so using the
presenter console becomes somewhat pointless... (normal presentations -
without the presenter console extension - work flawless too).


My questions:
* Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
* Is there a way to fix it? I already tried to increase LO's
buffer-settings and moved the document into a ramdisk to eliminate
disk-related delays.
* Or at least: is there a way to configure the presenter console
extension so that it loads the preview *after* the slide transition has
completed?


regards,
  Stephan

I just took the original text that you posted above and pasted it into 
LibreOffice. It came up the first time in typewriter font, with all the 
accents.
Then I highlighted that and set the font to Times New Roman, and it came 
up in TNR, with all the accents.


I suspect that you are not using a font that has the accented characters 
in it. Try changing the font. Or see if you can download the Microsoft 
TrueType fonts--
I'm pretty sure they have all the common accents available. This was 
copied back from LO, when it used the typewriter font.


Tu étais en Éden, le jardin de Dieu; Tu étais couvert de toute espèce de 
pierres précieuses, De sardoine, de topaze, de diamant, De chrysolithe, d'onyx, 
de jaspe, De saphir, d'escarboucle,

 d'émeraude, et d'or; Tes tambourins et tes flûtes étaient à ton service, 
Préparés pour le jour où tu fus créé.

And this was copied back after I turned it into Times New Roman:

Tu étais en Éden, le jardin de Dieu; Tu étais couvert de toute espèce de 
pierres précieuses, De sardoine, de topaze, de diamant, De chrysolithe, d'onyx, 
de jaspe, De saphir, d'escarboucle, d'émeraude, et d'or; Tes tambourins et tes

I don't know if the example will survive email, but it is in Times New 
Roman here, in my Thunderbird email ready to send.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cooperation in the implementation of LibreOffice

2013-12-25 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I don't think it's good policy to be rude to trolls.  One of the
things they are aiming for is to make the list seem unfriendly and
then be able to quote those examples out-of-context.

I agree with most of the points but just feel they could have been
explained less antagonistically.  On the other hand it was good fun to
read and made me chortle a bit! :)


Wrt formats i wasn't sure whether;
1.  we were getting the blame for not being able to correctly read
proprietary implementations of formats where the specs are unavailable
or
2.  we were getting the blame for MS failing to implement ISO
standards correctly where the specs are easily available

In either case it seems the fault of MS, rather than us, so maybe do
try posting a bug-report where-ever you are getting 15min responses
from!  If MS could implement their own spec correctly (or the one we
use, or both) then it really might make interoperability a reality.
Then almost no-one would ever need to buy any new versions of MS
Office because even really old versions did everything almost all of
us need and tons more too.

Tom :)

Hi :)
Sounds like you are looking for advanced debugging information
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information
but that is beyond the scope of average users so most people are
better off just working through the kind of stuff you have already
been doing and other things from on this page
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
(note the link to the advanced page is at the bottom).  Errr, the
advanced page is beyond me so hopefully you can figure it out or Jay
or someone can help with it.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

 Hi,

 Does your spreadsheet have a large number of calculations and referrals that
 periodically take a long time to run?

 Also, can you post the spreadsheet to Nabble? Please do not post anything
 proprietary or private.

 Have a spreadsheet which roughly every 5th time I save it takes several
 minutes and 100% cpu usage. Running from a terminal doesn't provide any
 info. There doesn't appear a way to run debug or logging. So, how do I get
 more info to provide a bug report?



 Debian Sid amd64 linux 3.11.2
 Debian packaged Version: 4.1.4.2
 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2)

 Thanks
