Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Why such large svg files in LibreOffice (Linux)?
Hi :) The linked-to thread seems to only have 1 post? It links to a Nabble thread that also only has 1 post. I think there is a bit of confusion here. Whichever system you use to make posts they all go into the same back-end. Then whichever front-end people use they all get to see all those messages that are stored in the backend. This means you can view the list and post to the list using Nabble as the front-end but people using GMane or normal emails also get to see all those posts (and are able to respond using their front-end). This whole back-end - front-end thing really confuses a lot of people. It's one of the main blockers that prevents people from realising just how much easier it would be to use Base instead of Calc (or Access instead of Excel (if you don't mind the vendor lock-in)) for all sorts of things. Ideally people would use Base instead of Excel, obviously, but that is 2 hurdles to cross. Just lately i got into Ssh'ing and that uses the term "server", vs "client" to mean much the same thing server ~ back-end client ~ front-end Of course it's not quite that simple but it helped me understand it.

Hi :) I think the Design Team's mailing list address is des...@global.libreoffice.org It might be good to forwards your last email to them. I think they can help you set-up some space in the LibreOffice wiki for uploading test-files to.

Hi, one of the reasons I posted here, in the user-to-user section, was to know if others see the same large (for .svg) files. If others don't, it's possible that those files "crept in" from some other source (which I very much doubt).
