[libreoffice-users] positive comment
LibreOffice Version: 4.3.6.1 Build ID: 4.3.6.1-3.mga4 ... does a very interesting thing ... (1) I backup some documents on a daily basis, to a USB stick, which I remove when not in use (2) When I opened earlier versions of LibreOffice, the Recent Documents list showed all documents from the hard drive, and from the USB stick, whether or not the stick had been removed (3) Now, when I open LibreOffice (3.1) If the stick is still in place from the last use, all of the recent documents on the hard drive, and on the USB stick, are also shown (3.2) If the stick has been remove, whether replaced or not, the documents on the USB stick are not shown ... I do like that. And I do like the new graphical display of the Recent Documents list, even though I can only see it when all documents are closed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing LO using yum localinstall
Hi Andrew, I have to admit I don't know much about the internal working of yum/dnf. When I install a new version of Fedora I "yum remove libreoffice*". I then install the latest version I am using "yum install *.rpm". I have a cron job which runs "yum update" every night (in fact I have moved to "dnf update" recently). I have always thought that this update only affects applications I have installed via the repos. Hence no need to modify yum.conf in the way you suggest. So far, so good.

So, is setting the exclude no longer needed in yum.conf as long as I keep up with the latest releases? should I just use rpm to install this? did I do something wrong?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO opens behind Windows Explorer
Hi :) Comments to bug-reports should include new information such as version of Windows and/or version of LO that hasn't already been included in previous posts. Otherwise it only increases ire. I didn't realise the issue was that common. It's the first time i've seen anyone mention it on this mailing list as far as i remember. I might well have missed it earlier though.

Yes Bill, I know exactly what you are talking about. I have seen and used numerous Windows and Linux machines where opening the LO does not grab the focus in the same way as most other programs do. A LO defect I have simply learned to live with. There are at least 2 open Bugzilla related reports: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48300 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75471 Some argue that they are different issues, I disagree, because it is only the splash logo that pulls the focus to the LO window, with the "-nologo" parameter set or for second instances where LO doesn't already hold the focus, the code makes no attempt to set the window focus. Coding to set the the window focus under Windows & Linux (don't know OSX) is "Programming 101" stuff and should be listed as an "Easy Hack". It has been suggested that this _might_ be fixed in version 4.5, but not in any the dev builds I have tested so far. Is there a solution? None that I am aware of, but adding a comment to one or both the above report may help to attract a developer's interest.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO opens behind Windows Explorer
Hi :) Yes, it is clear what you are talking about. In the linux world we call the "windows explorer window" a "file-browser window" or just say "file-browser". It is quite different from a web-browser of course but also has some similarities. In the file-browser you browse the files and folders on your machine or in network file-shares. Windows tends to force you to stay with their own one but even in Windows it is apparently possible to use a different one. Most Operating Systems have a default one but then allow you to add a different one if you prefer. There are tons of different ones of each (Thunar, Dolphin, Nautilus and on and on for file-browsers) so it helps to use the generic word to cover all of them. I think the problem you are having is a Windows problem rather than a LibreOffice one. Is it happening to other sorts of files and other programs? Even if it is only happening with LibreOffice you might still find it more useful to ask Windows Support places. Generally any window (or console) has a title-bar at the top that shows the name of the file or folder showing in it's window. If you right-click on that then you get some weird options such as "Minimise, Maximise, Move, Resize and crucially "Always on top". If that option is ticked in your file-browser then it would makes sense that it's staying on top of other things. Just untick it by clicking anywhere on it's line. It is possible that your version of Windows might have a "Always underneath" type of option although that kinda sounds a bit of a mad option to me. So it might be worth right-clicking the title-bar of an open LibreOffice window jic.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Regarding review option..
Hi :) wrt OpenOffice - apparently their forums and help fairly often helps LibreOffice users nowadays. When it was under Oracle they had to avoid being at all helpful to us but even so they often did help as much as they reasonably could. So we try to help OpenOffice users here too but there is a potential for things to work slightly differently in each project so we might not be 100% correct all the time.

[libreoffice-users] LO opens behind Windows Explorer
All, Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? When I double click on a writer or calc file it opens behind the windows explorer window that I double clicked in. I'll explain this another way in case that's not clear. Say I have a folder open on my screen with some .odt and .ods files in it. If I double click on a file to open it, it will open behind the folder that contains the file I clicked on. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is there a solution?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress Default Style in Drawing Object Styles
Hi Well one thing that comes to mind is if I do not like the default color of objects then I'll change the color in the Default style. That will also change the color for the children. Of course not all the children use this setting but see for example Object with shadow. Another example might be that you want to chante the font used inside objects. Change the default and see how it changes in the style Text, Text body and so on. Try it out and test it on different shapes and figures. Make a test presentation and "go wild" for a moment. I hope that it will become more clear to you when you experimented a bit with it. Regards, Niklas Johansson Kevin O'Brien skrev den 2015-02-26 22:44: This is something I have not seen before, and I am not entirely clear on it. Nor can I find it searching through the Impress guide. When I look at the hierarchical view in the Styles and Formatting it is implied that all other styles are based on it, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Just what is the Default style good for, and how should it be used?
