[libreoffice-users] How to open files with http-url in LibreOffice/Linux ?
In OpenOffice I've found it always nice feature to load files from the web via the http-protocol in a macro. But after switching to LibreOffice I couldn't get it running (see my bug description https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75701). I tried to load an URL from the GUI, but neither versions 3.6 nor version 4.1.5.3 worked, maybe due to my Win8.1-64Bit environment. Instead LibreOffice seems to freezefor at least more than 20min: No response-hint in the Windows title-bar. For reference I tried to open an http-url on a Linux-PC (Open-SuSE). But I couldn't figure out a way to enter a URL in the KDE-Open-File-Window. LibreOffice or KDE always responds with: You can only open local files! So does anybody know how to enter http-URL in LibreOffice running in KDE-environment?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice 4 corrupting Calc files

All 3 options there are in the same eco-system so if you do end up using AOO or Gnumeric you're still on the same team really.

Similarly with some files created in 3.3.x and used in more recent versions - and again with ones in 3.4.x. Ones in 3.5.x and onwards don't seem to have the same problems at all. However, a lot of that could be due to user-error. I had been using OpenOffice a little bit over the years under Sun but only started using it seriously when it became LibreOffice. During most of the 3.3.x and 3.4.x branch i had a tendency to set the file defaults as MS ones instead of using ODF. It was only by the 3.5.x branch that i committed to using ODF for originals and since then i've had no problems. Starting afresh solved the problems for me. I'd start by opening a blank fresh new document using the latest release of LibreOffice. Then copypaste(special) in as unformatted text. Finally apply styles and drag in images. Granted, it is a LOT easier with most word-processed letters and other fairly small documents. Spreadsheets are going to be a tad more complicated because there's a tendency to have a lot of worksheets and each sheet would need to be done separately. On the other hand it might be easier to do using just remove direct formatting without starting afresh in a fresh new document. Then it might be just a couple of clicks per sheet. Ctrl A = Select All Ctrl c = copy Ctrl Shift v = paste special Ctrl m = remove direct formatting (it's the top item in the Format menu) Regards from Tom :) Thanks for the tip Tom.

There is only one of those files that occasionally gets corrupted. It's always the same file, and only this one file that gets corrupted. I keep the files on a USB drive. I always save the file, close Libreoffice, and unmount the drive before removing it from the computer. I have no forewarning that the file is corrupt until the next time I open it.

But , if I open the file with Libreoffice 3 on my Debian system, I am offered a window that asks me if I want Libreoffice to repair the file. If I click on 'Yes' Libreoffice 3 completes the repair and I see the spreadsheet. The only strange thing that I notice about the repaired file is that the last chart I had created is only a placeholder. I then delete the placeholder and recreate the chart. If I then save an d close the file, and reopen it in Libreoffice 4, it opens fine until the next time it gets corrupted. I don't know how to cause the problem, other that to keep opening the file until it happens. Has anyone seen this problem? Is there anything I should try? You could always try getting the latest version (4.2.1) and see if it still happen. I vaguely recall having a similar issue in Impress, that vanished by updating.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Weird situation with LO Writer
Coincidentally, I was looking for something else at the weekend, and came across some notes from about 5 years ago when I got a 30MB presentation down to 6MB by doing that. Had completely forgotten about it. That was with quite an old version of OpenOffice, and I may not have inserted the files properly in the first place (not sure if I was aware of the difference between copy/pasting and insert from file myself back then!) Was going to suggest it as a workaround in case it was worth the effort to you, but looks like you've already found the same trick ;o) It would be interesting to know what triggers the different behaviour. That some are kept as JPEG while others are converted to PNG is even more strange than if they were all converted to PNG when set as a frame's background... Ra wrote: Hello, True, I don't insert the images as pictures like you would expect, but I didn't think that would make a difference since all the images are still coming from a local disk, so therefore LO knows the format very well and should be able to preserve it. Why am I using frames with images as backgrounds instead of pictures? I don't know really. I needed an image to accompany a chunk of text, this seemed like a good idea at the time. It's kinda too late to change it now, there are already over a hundred such frames... I might try to change it at some later point but for now I'd like to stick with what I have. I did not try inserting images any other way so I don't know how it would behave. (I also don't understand what do you mean by extending the palette.) I did however do a little experiment. Since ODTs are just ZIP archives, I opened my document with an archiver tool and extracted the contents to a temporary directory. Then I converted all the PNGs to JPGs with the same name, updated the relevant index files accordingly (content.xml, META-INF/manifest.xml), and archived it back as ZIP. Then I renamed the ZIP to ODT and tried opening it in Writer, and voila, it worked! All the images are still there and visible, I didn't see any problems. I then saved it under a different name and checked the resulting ODT, all the stored images were still in JPEG format. So I guess this kinda solves my problem for now, although I would still like to know how and why it happened to begin with. I need to do more editing on the document which means a lot more saving, so I'll keep an eye on what LO does with these JPEGs in the future.

You do not insert the image directly, but use it as background image. If you insert the image directly, it should stay in JPEG format. Have you tried, whether other ways to make it a background (e.g. extending the palette) results in png too? Why do you try to make it a background of the frame?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO start language
Den 03.03.2014 17:22, skreiv Nagy Ákos: Hi, I can set the LibreOffice start language on windows? In the regional options all remains default: English, but I want to set that the LibreOffice on the first start, start with other installed UI language. It is possible? Choose your language from the drop down list shown at Tools - Options - Language settings - Languages - User interface. If you do not find your language in the drop down box, in Windows you have to run the install program again and install LO manually choosing installing your language.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice 4 corrupting Calc files
I'm sort of having a similar problem. I too have a spreadsheet file for personal finances tracking. When I made the change from Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 I suddenly started getting the file recovery dialog reporting that my budget calc file needed to be recovered when I would open a 2nd unrelated Libreoffice file. It does not matter whether I am opening an existing or new calc, write, draw or base file. The dialog would pop up pointing to the one file, even though I already had it open and had been using it. Of course if I elect to recover it'll fail since it is already open and the recovery encountered the file lock. I did one time open another file first and then attempted to open the file that gets flagged. This time I was able to allow the recovery process to run and it opened. I have gone a few days with no further problems until just now, the dialog suddenly popped up upon opening another file. I have already tried removing the .config directory tree for LibreOffice with only a few days reprieve from this problem. I am currently running 4.2.1.1 from the Fedora 20 repo. Just my .02¢, it seems to be a similar problem to the OP. Scott C. On 03/02/2014 12:54 PM, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: 2014-03-02 7:00 GMT+01:00 J. Van Brimmer jerry...@gmail.com: Hello, I'm new to the list, so if this is an inappropriate subject, please let me know. I am using Libreoffice on Manjaro Linux. Over the last several months the version has been regularly updated. The currently installed version is: Version: 4.1.5.3 Build ID: 4.1.5.3 Arch Linux build-1. I have been using Manjaro for about six months. Over this time I have been using Libreoffice to update some Calc spreadsheets that I created to keep track of my finances. There is only one of those files that occasionally gets corrupted. It's always the same file, and only this one file that gets corrupted. I keep the files on a USB drive. I always save the file, close Libreoffice, and unmount the drive before removing it from the computer. I have no forewarning that the file is corrupt until the next time I open it. When I open the file when its corrupted, I get this window: Screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/aak5y545qsmhe30/Screenshot_TextImport_2014-03-01.png . Nothing I try can get Libreoffice to open or repair the file. But , if I open the file with Libreoffice 3 on my Debian system, I am offered a window that asks me if I want Libreoffice to repair the file. If I click on 'Yes' Libreoffice 3 completes the repair and I see the spreadsheet. The only strange thing that I notice about the repaired file is that the last chart I had created is only a placeholder. I then delete the placeholder and recreate the chart. If I then save an d close the file, and reopen it in Libreoffice 4, it opens fine until the next time it gets corrupted. I don't know how to cause the problem, other that to keep opening the file until it happens. Has anyone seen this problem? Is there anything I should try? I have seen a problem that seems to be similar, but that was an earlier version of LibreOffice, I think 3.7.something. It corrupted a spreadsheet for me and I couldn't repair it with LibreOffice, so I installed Apache OpenOffice and opened it. Apache OpenOffice repaired the file for me and I have been using it ever since, and since then the spreadsheet never got corrupted again. That's probably not the solution you are looking for, I just wanted to say that you are probably not the only one who had this problem, but I'm not 100% sure it's the same bug.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reply-To?
Tanstaafl, where is the smart reply button? I'm running T-Bird 24.3.0 (latest update for me) and see no such button. I have either Reply or Reply to List, but no smart button and no preference or option for such a button that I can find. I'm on a Mac. Sure would be helpful.
