Re: [libreoffice-users] Compress images

Hi :) Wow!! Please can you post a bug-report about this! There is a collection of quite ancient but extremely rare bugs that have this effect. It has been a nightmare trying to get conditions exactly 'right' to make any of these bugs appear in any consistent way. It's like chasing phantoms in h

Re: [libreoffice-users] Compress images

Hi :) I really like the sound of this! Cley seems to have created something like an Extension or maybe independent program to automatically re-scale the byte-size of all images in a document and i'd forgotten all about it. I've only known 1 person to create a really hefty document by just plonkin

Re: [libreoffice-users] Compress images

Hi :) I know it was only an alpha-release but it fits the idea of "release early and release often" rather than trying to produce something too perfect and then finding that no-one uses it. If it's possible to get it onto the Extensions website http://extensions.libreoffice.org/ then maybe more pe

Hi :) Errr, i think i don't understand Git Hub. I thought it was only for writing code and although it made it easier to collaborate with other people it was 'just' about writing code. I didn't thing it was for releasing code to "the general public". Now i'm beginning to think that view might ha

Hi :) You generally put the source file straight after a command and then the target file (hopefully avoiding over-writing an existing file!) after that. So it's typically command parameter (tags and such) existing-file resulting-file usually written in instructions as command source ta

I do it the hard/easy way. Look through your document for the largest image. While doing that, guesstimate the average size of your images. Put all images you are using into a folder. Download Fast Image (JPG) Resizer for Java at http://fir4j.sourceforge.net/ This will... mass resize all JPEG/J
