[libreoffice-users] Version control and fodt
Hi all, FODT format finally seems to work flawlessly in v4.0.1.2! Can some core developer look into updating and closing this bug? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078 I noticed there are some spurious changes when adding small changes to a document. These are configuration settings: - ViewLeft - ViewTop - Rsid Another gripe is that inserting individual characters within a line causes: 1. The creation of a new style (named T1 in my case of a new document) 2. The addition is a new span element, though styles used is the same! Does LibreOffice not automatically detect that the additions are using the same style (Default paragraph, Default character styles)? Not that it's much of a problem for me, since I'll be manually cleaning up document changes before committing into version control. Version-controlled documents deserve extra care, anyway. But it'd be nice if LibreOffice doesn't create thousands of new (named) styles given thousands of edits. Lastly, should I be using DocBook or Latex instead of FODT format?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with MySQL after upgrading OpSys
Thanks to all who offered assistance with this problem. A couple of days back I decided to attack from a different direction. After all the Change this, Tweak that, Edit such-and-such file etc etc I figured that things were starting to get really messy. So the answer should be - Start again from a clean slate!! I re-installed the OpSys and ran through all my set-up steps again. Now everything seems to be working fine again!! I guess some minor hiccup in the original installation of the new OpSys triggered the whole thing. Will advise If I come across any funnies!! Thanks again to all who helped out - greatly appreciated!!

[libreoffice-users] Re: Hyperlink Bug in calc - bug 62289
Steve I have tried this on Mac 10.8.2 and Mac 10.8.3 For LibreO, I have tried 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.1 with no variation in the results. There must be something in the way I have it set up in the Preferences. Now I know how to cope with it, it isn't much of a problem as it only happens when you set up a new sheet. Very odd though.

When you add the hyperlink using the GUI (Insert Hyperlink Document Target OtherSheet), where OtherSheet name is only a number, it adds a hyperlink that doesn't take you to that sheet, it only adds a link to 'Number', which results in the hyperlink taking yo to that RowNum in the current sheet. This is *obviously* not what the user wanted, because they intentionally chose the other sheet. What it should do is add a hyperlink to SheetName.A1 (and let the user decide whether or not to change the target cell or not). Apparently this is what it used to do, hence, this is a regression. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Comments being lost
Hi :) Could you try the Odt format instead of DocX? Do you frequently need to share an editable version of the document with other people? Perhasp use Doc instead, the older MS format is a lot more consistent and reliable across a wider range of programs and platforms.

Calc also doesn't allow renaming of variables in the page section of the pivot table. Calc doesn't allow the specification of formats for the variables being added at creation time, or at a later date via the menus as excel does, Calc only provides the ability to do it after creation of the table by applying formats to the cells in the table, hence if cells are re-arranged the formatting gets out of whack, and if the source data changes such that more rows are added on refresh, the additional rows won't have the format applied. Oh - interesting. So the formats thing sounds like a useful core feature you'd want to add to the pivot rendering; and the other bits are UI features.

Hi, I am having all sorts of problems with the source code in Eclipse. I have created a new blank C++ project in Eclipse and imported the entire sc directory into that project. Subsequently I have opened dpgroupdlg.cxx in the editor (I'm also not sure why Eclipse displays all directories duplicated) and Eclipse is displaying errors on just about every statement in that file. I think the first thing I need to do is to find all the include files and add those directories into the include file path in the project properties. One of the problems I have is that the statement com::sun::star::sheet::DataPilotFieldGroupBy::SECONDS, is producing an error complaining that symbol SECONDS is not found. In the include list there is an include of com/sun/star/sheet/DataPilotFieldGroupBy.hpp and I have found a directory of that name in the offapi subdirectory of libreoffice, but that path does not contain DataPilotFieldGroupBy.hpp it contains instead DataPilotFiedlGroupBy.idl which contains a definition of SECONDS and the other time symbols specific in the code. How I configure eclipse to consider the idl file to be the same as the hpp file so that these symbols get resolved? I am also having difficulty determining which dp module equates to the dialog that gets displayed for variables that are dragged to the pivot table layout areas, to specify the attributes of those variables. Is there any documentation anywhere that explains what each module within the suite actually does and how they relate to what is actually displayed by Libreoffice for each function it performs? regards, Steve -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] re. paperless groups ...
I do not understand the reference? Are you saying that TDF/LO should promote the green issues of reducing the consumption of paper in offices? Are you saying that LO will help reduce the amount of paper since the files can be directly exported as PDF files and other electronic formats so you do not need to print and pass paper copied of the documents? Yes, a paper reduction is a good idea but I do not know if that marketing idea is something we want to get involved in promoting, or at least for now. Most office and other packages can have their printing done by using a PDF printing client. CUPS-PDF for Linux and doPDF for Windows. Then you do not need to print to paper to save the documents. Right now, I am promoting LO as a free alternative to MSO. I want to promote the abilities of using a free and open source package and not rely on what type of packages and uses the giants companies tell the users that the user want, and not really asking. LO users ask for what they need and our developers try to provide it. MSO tell users that there is a need for only a few supported languages, while LO is now at about 100 languages and adding more every few months [it seems]. As for paperless, or paper reduction in my home/office. . . . I personally print web pages to PDF before I make a paper copy, since many sites do not print properly and there is a lot of pages printed in the PDF file that does not contain usable information. At that point I only print to paper the pages that has the needed data/information and not waste paper. Also, is there a benefit using LO over MSO for the reduction of paper? Or is it just the user's mindset not to print out everything, every document and its edits, every web page or news article, etc., etc..
