Re: [Bug 424132] Re: [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken.
This comment is only about the file dialogs. I got the 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 package last night, and installed the kde integration again. The "save", "save as" and "export" dialogs have improved. The various check boxes now have labels, and the "filter" dropdown is populated with text. Most importantly, it is now possible to actually save the document and get on with what you were doing... Remaining brokenness / usability flaws: * There is a "Automatic file name extension" AS WELL as a "Automatically select filename extension (.html)". Only one should be needed! * Only in "Export" and with the "XHTML" filter: The file you export may get as many as three extensions if the file name displayed in the "Name" field has an extension and both the "automatic" boxes are checked. Extensions get appended one efter the other, for example "test.html.html .xhtml" (yes there is a space before `.xhtml'). (The pdf filter doesn't do this.) * When you "Save as" or "Export" files, how are you supposed to know that you have to select the type of file you want to save in the "Filter" select box? This is (always was) a little unintuitive to say the least. Perhaps change the label to "File format" or something else. Thanks to everyone working on this. Jakob.

Re: [Bug 424132] Re: [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken.
It got too big for many reasons. 1) OO was no where near ready for Alpha, let alone beta when it went out 2) Nobody edited the bug description when it was first file to restrict it to something they thought would be manageable. 3) Roughly 80% of the problems could realistically point back to the file dialog in an end user's eyes. 4) The bug reporting system is poorly designed. It encourages users to file their bugs under a heading which closely matches their problem. Let one heading appear with the text "utterly broken" and that is going to match 90% of the bug reports in a user's eyes.

So when can I test the new fix in Kubuntu? I just tried to `apt-get update && apt-get install openoffice.org-kde`, but that got me the same ol' buggy thing (broken file dialog on "File > Export" action) Regards Jakob.

Re: [Bug 424132] Re: [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken.
The short-term workaround to this problem is to delete temporarily the package openoffice.org-kde. You can check version numbers in the repository (at the command line: apt-cache policy ; I am sure that the various GUIs can provide the same information) to see if the fixed version has reached your repository. -- [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 424132] Re: [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken.
Someone should have changed the description on this one early on if they didn't want thousands of related problems filed under this same heading. It is quite difficult for an "end user" to determine if OO saving document in wrong format is a problem related to this or from a different part of the system. It certainly "could" be related to this, especially with all of those unlabeled checkboxes. In a couple of days I will pull down the fixes. My mirror always seems to take a couple of days to get a new push. In its current state OO is unusable on KUbuntu.

Someone changed this to non-critical, but it is a looong way from being either closed or shippable.

I've observed the same problem in the writer part. It saves in an old MS word format (although e.g. Word 2003 was selected) which causes the loss of e.g. German umlauts or the €-symbol (probably any non ASCII character). --- Original message --- > From: Murz > To: c...@xray.at > Sent: 15.10.'09, 17:20 > > New problem - OOo Calc saves wrong xls when openoffice.org-kde package is > installed! without it - saves correctly. > Example: > - Install openoffice-kde in Karmic > - Open OOo Calc > - Create new file, type "тест" (in russian letters) in cell A1. > - File - Save as, select "Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls)", press Save, > Keep format. > - Open this xls file in Microsoft Office Excel 2003. > We see "" in cell A1 > > - remove openoffice-kde in Karmic > - Open OOo Calc > - Create new file, type "тест" (in russian letters) in cell A1. > - File - Save as, select "Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls)", press Save, > Keep format. > - Open this xls file in Microsoft Office Excel 2003. > We see "тест" in cell A1 > > Attached file test3.xls is created with openoffice-kde is installed, > test4.xls - with removed. > > ** Attachment added: "test3.xls is created with openoffice-kde is installed" >http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33738101/test3.xls > > -- > [kubuntu] OOo KDE file dialog is utterly broken. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424132 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “kubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: Invalid > Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed > Status in kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu Karmic: Invalid > Status in openoffice.org in Ubuntu Karmic: Confirmed > Status in Gentoo Linux: New > Status in “openoffice.org” package in openSUSE: Confirmed > > Bug description: > OO.org successfully uses the KDE file dialog, however, it's very broken.

I have a working solution after doing `apt-get purge openoffice.org-common` and after that `apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-style-oxygen` -- now I can get export to xhtml to work, which is what I've been trying for a while (since I installed ooo 3.0 in hardy from some ppa I don't remember.).
