Hi Don,

One possible way is to set up your form (which after all, is only a 
Writer or Calc document) as a dummy interface that is not bound to any 
data fields, and then use Basic to manage the data entered by the user 
as an array, construct a SQL statement, connect to the db, and then 
commit that statement.


I haven't tried this, but in theory, it should work.

You know Alex, when you put it that way, it seems so obvious Most 
great ideas seem so AFTER someone thinks of them. I tip my hat to you sir!

RE: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

2013-07-23 Thread V Stuart Foote
Steve,

Well yes, but Windows has completely different application configurations for 
the Launchers on OS X, where manipulation of each programs .APP and some Plist 
values. 

And there are major differences in launcher setup with info.plist and each 
applications .app file when moving between OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 
10.8--indications are that won't even run on 10.9.

And of course the mix of DE and application packaging on the Linux flavors is 
an interesting mix as well. 

So the three primary OS environments for configuring LibreOffice are different 
enough that we can't generalize across the OSs even though the code base is 
mostly in common. That is because installation/configuration is where things 
diverge the most.  Windows is an ugly beast. Linux Kernels and Darwin have 
reasonable methods for the most part. Although Unity leaves me scratching my 
head on occasion.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to change url for persona settings

2013-07-23 Thread Scott Castaline
Yes 4.1.?.? the persona feature is broke. You can only change it or edit
it by doing it manually by adding the jpg files to the
.config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/persona sub-dirs. If the persona
sub-dir does not exist than just create it and dump the jpg there. Also
you will have to manually edit the registrymodifications.xcu file. This
just an xml file. Look for the 2 lines that have "Persona" and the
second one has "PersonaSettings" after oor:name=. You will want the 2nd
line, horizontal scroll to the type and type in the name of the
jpg file (ie 3.jpg;bas5.jpg;#d5f3fa;#00 is what is in mine for star
trek image.)

I got the mentioned values when I tried coping my libreoffic config
folders from 4.0.4.2 into my 4.1.?.? folders and found that it worked. I
found the difference based on the comments in the 2 bugs that Peter had
mentioned. Once I changed the new files I switched back. The xcu files
are very different in size so I'm not sure if keeping the older version
in place may disallow some new feature from working properly.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4 install deletes 3.6

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


I think Win7 may think LO 4.x is the upgrade to 3.x and decide that to 
install the newer version it must uninstall the older one.  I have 
noticed that with a lot of packages lately.  Win7 deletes any previous 
versions of the software before the newer one is installed.


To be honest
For most users, they would want that to happen.  The "average" user does 
not want multiple versions of a package installed on a Windows system.  
So, I would say that Win7 or even Win8, might thing it is a proper thing 
to do, uninstall old before new is installed to avoid package conflicts 
or mis-matched DLL files, etc., etc..

One can happily run multiple versions of LibreOffice (or a mix of LibreOffice

OS--and at any given time only one can be fully integrated with the Windows OS.

In an attempt to compare the latest LO and AOO offerings, today I installed 
both LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 on my Win7 machine.

Until now, I have been happily using LO 3.6.6.2, having previously tried an 
earlier release in the LO 4 series.

When I previously installed LO 4, I noticed that it seemed to uninstall my 
previous version of LO 3.6. After encountering some problems with LO 4, I 
uninstalled it and reinstalled LO 3.6.

On the prior occasion, I just assumed that, when installing LO 4, I had 
inadvertently clicked some option to uninstall the old 3.6. So, today, when I 
installed LO 4, I was very careful to make sure that I did not check any box 
indicating my desire to uninstall LO 3.6.6.2.

Nevertheless, LO 4 installed and, once again, my installation of LO 3.6.6.2 
disappeared.

Does anyone know if this is intentional behavior? It has happened to me now 
twice, and I’m 90% certain that it was not due to anything I did.

If it is intentional, I find it most offensive. I can’t believe the TDF 
developers would be so presumptuous as to decide for me that I no longer want 
LO 3.6 on my system. This is the type of “let us think for you” behavior I 
would expect from MS, not from a FOSS project.

btw, AOO 4.0 installed quite nicely *next to* AOO 3.4.1, and I am able to run 
both programs.

Sorry, TDF, but on this one I have to give AOO a +1.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

2013-07-23 Thread V Stuart Foote
Yes if one or both are fully installed (as opposed to /A administrative 
installs) they will interfere in subtle ways.

Actions to mitigate:

1) Disable the Quickstarter for both during installation -- the TDF LibreOffice 
and Apache OpenOffice versions will conflict--best if both are off. Done from 
AppWiz.cpl and a modify installation of both.

2) Also, only one or the other should have the Windows Explorer Integration 
enabled (it provides a thumbnail view of ODF documents) in Desktop or Thumbnail 
views in Windows Explorer (Desktop and other folder views). Personally I also 
leave that unchecked when installing.

3) Finally, if using the "release" rather than development builds. The Windows 
registry will be written with file associations--the two programs should 
coexist to open a file type, but only one can be set as the default for any 
particular ODF or MS Office format.  So keep track of that.

Good luck.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing problems - US Letter / A4

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


So Peter

If the French person went into that "/etc/papersize" file and made sure 
it was listed as A4, then all of the printer drivers in her Debian [or 
Debian-based] system will automatically default to A4? Will LO then 
default to A4 for the default paper sizes of the printer and document?


Also, have you found any place where you pick up using Postscript 
instead of PDF for the default printer language used for all the 
printers connected to that system?


Like I stated before, I have only 3 active network printers, and one 
that is almost never used, attached to my network and about a half-dozen 
Ubuntu/Windows systems to setup to the Postscript printer language over 
PDF.  So I have it easy.  The OP has about 20 printers and who-knows the 
number of systems attached to the network.  There has to be an easier

I would always advise you check this setting before setting the LibreOffice

Hi :)
I think it's the same conflicts as between any 2 versions of LibreOffice or 
any 2 versions of AOO or OOo.  Basically avoid having both open at the same 
time.  That might mean turning off the Quickstarter of both of them.

Me too! I was having this problem since upgrading, until I read Kracked 
_P_P's thread above. I completly forgot to change it. 
I am using LO: Version: 4.1.0.1
Build ID: 410m0(Build:1) 
and so far it is retaining the Postscript option. I have opened and 
closed both CALC and Writter several times. I will see what happens 
tonight when I shut down.

Hi. Do you mean for the default page size to be A4 in the document
also. I have to set printing to postscript for every document because
it does not stay with the setting.

Steve look under File --> Printer setup-->Properties-->Device (at least
in CALC). Think its the same in writter.

You can also select actual level with pull down arrow at end of box.

Thanks Russ. That is what should happen, but for me (and others) it

There has been quite some discussion on this previously around not being

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to change url for persona settings

2013-07-23 Thread Scott Castaline
So I took it a step further and manually added the persona sub-dir
under the gallery sub-dir along with the jpg files within the folder.
I then manually edited the registrymodifications.xcu file (xml file
type) and just copied text within  in "PersonaSettings"
line from the working file to the broken 4.1.?.? version of the file.
I'm not sure what other changes there are between the 2 so I just
edited the broken one. I am still not able to change from the dialog.
It still will not allow the editing of the url within the box.

Can't say for sure on Windows (but I don't think there would be any

Under GNU/Linux, you need to install them with the official packages from 
their respective website. Using the version delivered by your distro may 
lead to dependency problems.

Yes, that's exactly what I experienced. For now I have the .config
sub-dirs from my system running Fedora 18 and LO 4.0.4.2 copied onto
the system running Fedora 19 and LO 4.1.?.?. Since I saved my original
config on that system I may try restoring it and manually create the

You are obviously talking about Linux, but since you did not specify
distribution, we have to guess...

Anyway, desktop integration packages has been moved from their own directory
into packages directory. In Debian and derivatives that is:
libreoffice4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-3_all.deb


So we no longer have to do a separate install command for installing the 
desktop menus?  So one "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" is all we need?


That would be welcome.

Hi. Do you mean for the default page size to be A4 in the document also.
I have to set printing to postscript for every document because it does 
not stay with the setting.

So i do that to the printer-server, or to individual desktops?  I kinda like 
the idea of settign the setting at the printer and leaving the desktops to use 
that as their default.

Ahhh, right!  So when i have just logged into the printers and set it there it 
should mean all the machines pick-up the A4 setting from there.  So it's not a

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing problems

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


You want to get all of the printers to work no matter what applications 
print to them?  You have how many PCs on your network?


In another post you state there are 20 printers configured.

So far, I do not know of any easy way to setup 5, 10, or 20 users to 
have the same settings for LibreOffice, and add over 10 printers in the 
mix makes it worse.


How many of these printers have a display panel build in?  I know that 
you can set the default paper types there.  But you still need to setup 
the LO application to default to the printer.


Is there any way you can setup a default

".config/libreoffice"

hidden folder and place it on every PC running LO.  If you create one 
that has no user info in it, you should be able to copy it to the other 
Debian-based PCs.  Windows users would be harder.


To be honest, I have only about 6 systems configured for, currently, 
three network printers.  Two systems are dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 
laptops.


But it seems you are wanting to set up many printers to the Postscript 
instead of PDF on several computers.


Sorry, but there is no easy way to do this.

As I said, you can use the LO Printer Administration application listed 
in the same menu as LibreOffice.  That will be the easiest way to work 
on all of the printers that that computer has access to.  Click on the 
printer and the Properties button.  Go to the "Device" option and change 
the "printer language type" of the selected printer.  That is the only 
way I know how to do it easily for all the printers that that computer 
has access to.


Then if you did not set up any information in the

Tools / Options / LibreOffice / User Data

that is only for that system, then you may have the "generic" 
".config/libreoffice" information that could be copied to the other 
Debian-based computers you are using on your network.  By replacing the 
original file with this "generic one" you should have all of the systems 
setup the same way.  The only issue might be if you are running both 
32-bit and 64-bit Debian-based systems on your network.


Of course I am assuming that you are not the only one on the network 
with 20 printers to do your bidding.

In France, we use this paper size. If the paper size is US Letter in

I would like that the settings would be done for all the users.

I use Debian squeeze with Trinity Desktop.

Are you trying to set these printer defaults for LibreOffice only,
or for all printer?

I assume you are using Debian based system, like Ubuntu or Mint,
if not Debian itself. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and LO 4.0.4.

For my system, I would go to

Applications / Office / Printer Administration

Then set the printer defaults there.
See if that helps.

Since you use a printserver, it seems, on a system you do not have
control of, there are not as many options.

You are in a region of the world that uses A4 paper size, right?
 Why would the printers be setup as that size by default?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing problems

2013-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I find that tricky too actually.  Everyone in this country seems to have their 
printers configured to print on US letter despite actually using A4.  Then if 
someone sends them an A4 page to print onto the A4 it comes out as 2 pages with 
just a tiny bit of the page printed at the top of the next sheet.  

On my own machines, well the company's machines, i go around and set them to 
print on A4 but then if a new machine arrives i have no idea whether it's 
trying to print to A4 or what.  Also what about new users logging in at a 
machine they haven't used before?  Are they now on US Letter again or not?  


It seems that with LibreOffice it always seems to know that A4 should be being 
used.  None of this messing around.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] LO crash switching from page view

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Here a more precise formulation of my former posting:

Hallo,

please confirm my observation:

Create a writer document with first page consisting of simply one paragraph 
mark per line, the lower half of them hard formatted "hidden", on 2nd page 
single letter i.e. "A".

Switching to page view shows the "A"  in the middle of a single page, when 
switching back to normal edit mode LO crashes.

LO  4.0.4.2 (also observed in LO 3.5.5.2)
Debian Linux

Jean,

To manage your printers if the OS is having problems use localhost:631 get  
to the CUPS admin. Findig the correct driver can be tricking. For example  
some Konica-Minolta printers have the correct driver listed under Minolta.


I do not know why you have to reload the printers unless the wrong driver  
is installed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing problems

2013-07-23 Thread Jean Milot
Hi,

I search to set A4 paper size only in LibreOffice because i have set in my
printserver CUPS the option A4.

In France, we use this paper size. If the paper size is US Letter in LO, i
doesn't work.

I would like that the settings would be done for all the users.

I use Debian squeeze with Trinity Desktop.

Sincerely,

Jean

Are you trying to set these printer defaults for LibreOffice only, or 
for all printer?


I assume you are using Debian based system, like Ubuntu or Mint, if not 
Debian itself. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and LO 4.0.4.


For my system, I would go to

Applications / Office / Printer Administration

Then set the printer defaults there.
See if that helps.

Since you use a printserver, it seems, on a system you do not have 
control of, there are not as many options.


You are in a region of the world that uses A4 paper size, right?  Why 
would the printers be setup as that size by default?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 2 news clippings of interest

2013-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
What may be trivial to one person is a big deal to another.  Even just 
'trivial' changes have involved reading, understand, possibly translating and 
then re-typing stuff that is wy beyond the ken of most of us.  

A major part of the code clean-up has been taking out comments some of which 
are still there even though the code they were commenting about may have been 
dropped a decade ago.  The download size of LibreOffice is under 70% the size 
it was when the projects forked.  Smaller, lighter, faster might be trivial to 
some but many of us really appreciate the reduction in size and increase in 
speed.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

only around 12% of the current code is  untouched OOo code!!


Do you understand that this comes from an obsolete diff tool which treats 
trivial changes like indents and comments as an entirely new code?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Automatic sizing of documents in single window

2013-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Please, when replying do a "Reply to all" or "Group reply" or "Reply to list".  
Thanks for trying to work-around the 'problem' of me getting duplicates of your 
replies but i really don't mind getting duplicates.  It's easy to hit the 
delete key.  I think we are supposed to delete-out individual's addresses from 
the "To" and "CC" fields but sometimes that means the person that posted 
doesn't get any of the replies because they are not properly subscribed to the 
mailing list.  It's easier just to send to the list and everyone and let them 
quickly hit their delete key when they see the same message got through twice.  


The mailing lists used to have a really clever way of handling all this but 
various people prefer it this way around :(  The rest of us have just learned 
to live with it.  


Sorry about all that!! 



It should be possible to "Cascade" any windows that are in a group on your 
taskbar surely?  Don't you just right-click on the 'button' on the taskbar and 
select "Cascade"?  Win Xp and earlier going back to Win98 had something like 
that didn't they?  Vista and Win7 too?  So, is this problem only happening on 
Win8?  


Also which version of LibreOffice are you using?  If you have any trouble at 
all with 4.1.0 then just uninstall it and go back to 4.0.4.  That 3rd digit 
show how many "service packs" the branch has had so about .4 becomes very very 
stable and predictable.  Most people will find even beta-testing versions 
plenty stable enough but some will find odd things that don't quite work for 
them, in which case just go back to the stable branch.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Automatic sizing of documents in single window

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Hi,

I have a question in that context:

How does LO (writer) determines the window size while opening a file?
I know, that one can set the page size and found, that LO stores in some way 
the window size of a file for display.
However, this is overridden when I run LO in command line mode (for printing, 
translation etc in a bash script). Thereafter all files newly openend in a 
distorted (small) window. I tried to manipulate the
registrymodifications.xcu
However, in regular intervals its overridden by someone else (LO?).
Thus, every time I open a file, I have to change the window size manually.

(Debian Linux, KDE 3.5, LO 3.5.5.2, 4.0.4.2)

[libreoffice-users] LO crash switching from page view

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Hallo,

please confirm my observation:

Create a writer document with first page consisting of paragraph marks, half 
of them hard formatted "hidden", on 2nd page single letter i.e. "A".

Switching to page view shows the "A"  in the middle of a single page, when 
switching back to normal edit mode LO crashes.

LO  4.0.4.2 (also observed in LO 3.5.5.2)
Debian Linux
