It has been two years since my last comment on this issue, reported 5 years
ago...  Yes, it is still a big problem for my users.  It is a frequent drain of
support time in my department trying to explain to users and help work-around
the broken behavior of OO adding blank pages in merges.

If the developers are unwilling to change the UI, can't we at least have a
system-level flag/setting somewhere to turn off the blank pages generation?

Only 60?  I have over 150 users and we have been waiting over a year.  I had to
completely halt the rollout of OpenOffice 3.0 because this problem was too
severe for us.  Waited through 3.0, 3.1, then 3.2.  I am praying it is in 3.3 (I
think it is).  I, too, was hoping there would have at least been a back door fix
or something until the new print system stuff was rolled out.

[graphics-issues] [Issue 4499] Export to bitmap file has f ixed DPI (resolution)

@sj: sample dialog looks great!  It is exactly what I had in mind!  The memory
usage and output file size is an excellent bonus.  I have not tried the
extension so I have to ask:  I assume that the aspect ratio is locked so if you
change the width it will recalculate the height or vice-versa.  And the
resolution (ppi/dpi) is relative to the width/height, so if you change the
width/height, it will update the ppi, or if you change the ppi it will update
the width/height.  (Correct me if I am wrong)

Hopefully the coming changes will also remove the rather low fixed maximum
resolution.  Last I checked, the maximum resolution you can export in Draw is
2250x2048 pixels, which is just not large enough if you need a high-resolution
raster export of a large vector diagram.  I didn't see any followup on that
aspect from my posting on Nov 26, 2007...

@jes  Well, I am glad it is a real issue and I am not losing my mind :)  Fixing
it so it doesn't continue to happen would be great (if possible).  I still
wonder if I should create a new enhancement issue with the request for a new
feature that will fix existing documents in which the objects are no longer
snapped to the grid.

I was thinking  Modify- Arrange- Snap points to grid  This option will move
every point in every selected object so that they land on the nearest currently
defined grid point

@wg, I have attached a sample document for which every object on the page is no
longer snapped to the grid.  If you zoom in to max zoom, select a horizontal
line, and move one end point, you will see that it moves ever so slightly to
re-snap that point to the grid.

Unfortunately, I don't know how the document became that way.  I have several
saved revisions and if I go back far enough, it seems to have happened when all
the objects were moved down on the page.  But every object on the page was
landing on a grid point, the grid never changed, and they would have been moved
while the snap to grid was in effect, so it should not have moved off the grid.

More unfortunately, I didn't notice that it moved off the grid and spent a
hundred hours adding many more layers and objects.  And now it is impossible to
get all the objects back onto the grid :(

I don't know what you mean by mark the problem, hopefully I have covered your
request.

I am working with English units, not metric and have never changed it.  I also
never changed the margins and never touched the origin.  I showed the issue to a
co-worker today, who said oh, yes, it has done that to me also in drawings, but
the shift was so small I thought I did something wrong.

In this particular (last) case, the grid was shifted up (vertically) a few
pixels.  It stayed the same horizontally.

I could attach a sample drawing in which the shift has occurred but I am not
sure that would help.

I have noticed this over the years and have never reported it as a bug until
now.  I can use the snap-to-grid option, then create a complex drawing with
thousands of objects.  Things progress over days fine, saving, loading, editing,
etc.  But at some point, the grid will change position ever so slightly and
throw off all my objects.  I never touched the grid settings nor origin.

If, for example, I had a perfect square, drawn with 4 lines, so some later load,
the grid will shift a pixel or two and then if I move one of the corners and
place it back to where it was, the lines are no longer straight and the square
is no longer a perfect square and it is impossible to fix.

I have seen this happen multiple times, across multiple versions of Draw.  I
have no explanation.  More frustrating is that it is then impossible to ever
fix the drawing back to the grid again.  And if you have many thousands of
objects, like a blueprint or floor plan, it causes a big mess.

In addition to a fix for this bug, it would be nice to have an enhancement tool
that will allow the user to select certain objects or all objects, then perform
a correction that will snap every point in those objects to each nearest grid 
point.

When managing/editing a complex Draw document that has lots of layers/tabs, it
can be very difficult to deal with the all the attributes.  One thing that would
improve the situation would be to have a master tab that will control all the
other tabs at the same time with:

Set visible on all tabs
Set printable on all tabs
Set locked on all tabs

Along with:
Unset visible on all tabs
Unset printable on all tabs
Unset locked on all tabs

Example- you have 15 tabs and just want to view what is on only one of them. 
Choose master tab, choose unset visible on all tabs, then select the tab you
want and make that single one visible.  Two 2 instead of 14.

It is not currently possible to move or re-order the layer tabs in Draw.  It
would be nice to have this feature.  One should be able to drag the tab to a new
location, like you can in Calc.

Looks like Issue 102175, fixed as of DEV300_m57.

Agreed.  Yeesh Not the first time I can spend a lot of time searching
through bugs trying to find a duplicate before spending hours created a nice bug
report with lots of tests and attachments and things only to find there is a
duplicate, afterall.

But this is the first time I went through all that AND it was fixed before my
posting was ever made :)

Oh well!  Congrats + thanks

Insert a vector-based wmf object into Draw.  It is visually impossible to
vertically flip the object, it will flip it horizontally instead.  It is also
impossible to rotate the object 180 degrees- it will just appear to not rotate
it at all as soon as you hit 180 degrees.

Plus, if you try to rotate objects 90 or 270 degrees (or anywhere in between),
they often get horribly distorted in ways that are hard to describe here in 
words.

But here is the even worse part- it *IS* rotating and flipping the object
correctly, it is just not displaying it correctly.  If you save the document
then open it in an older version of OpenOffice (2.3), it looks perfect.

We noticed this behavior starting in 3.1.0, although we did not test in 3.0.  It
worked fine in 2.3.  I will attach a sample ODG file to illustrate the problem,
along with two screen shots showing what the document appears on the screen when
viewed from 3.1.1 and 2.3.0.

This is a horrible bug.  It affects all the clipart and logos we use on a
regular basis.  And I searched and could not find any other reports.  Perhaps I
was using the wrong terms.

Also note that when you print the incorrectly displayed document in 3.1.X, it
prints even WORSE (different than displayed and wrong in a different way)!

I have attached a scan of a printout from 3.1.1.

Well, I just tested OpenOffice 3.2.0 RC4 and it is completely fixed.  So I guess
this was a known issue.

Still, it is good that there is a comprehensive record of the issue for other
people trying to figure out what is going on.

I am closing the issue as Fixed

Well, I don't want untested or unstable code in a mainline release either.  But
I was at least hoping the proposed
office/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu setting would be available
quickly.  Since that doesn't affect the UI, it should be a safe place to start,
wouldn't it?

As for upgrading- the problem is so serious, there is no way I can roll out 3.X
to my users if I cannot disable the collate option (or at least default it to 
no).

@pl: that is great news, indeed. From what I am reading of what you programmed,
that is exactly the type of behavior that will allow the collate problems to be
fixed for *everyone*.  I (and my users) can't thank you enough.  Hopefully this
can be made into documentation somewhere too, since others are bound to hit the
same problem.  Is there any expectation this will make it into release sooner
than 3.2?

As for the N-Up- I talked about that with some people at work, and they are
quite excited about that option. Would be nice for preview printing and
archival of large documents to paper.  We all still think it would be best if
that were also not made a persistent/remembered setting, although it would be
far, far, far less damaging than the issue with collate or number of copies.

[sc-issues] [Issue 10933] Data sorting by using more than 3 items (columns)

I have to agree that sorting by more than 3 criteria is important.  My users ask
fairly frequently why Calc can only sort by 3, and I have to say that I don't
know why there is that arbitrary limitation.  Using a database is beyond their
skill sets.  Can't it be changed to allow pretty much unlimited sort keys?  Or
at least bump it up to 4 or 5?  It doesn't seem like bumping it up a few would
be too difficult, plus in 3.X the dialog box is already big enough to easily
hold 4 and the sort function doesn't seem to affect or play on any other code in
Calc...

I did want to point out that although you can't perform ONE sort operation by
more than three criteria in Calc, you *can* sort by more than three criteria, it
requires multiple sort operations with this workaround:

*Example- sorting by 4 criteria:
First sort your data only your LEAST important (4th) criteria.
Then sort the data again, by the first three criteria.

*Example- sorting by 5 criteria:
Sort first by the 4th and 5th criteria.
Then sort again by 1st through 3rd criteria.

This works, although many users just won't know this method, and/or won't find
it convenient or intuitive.

Yikes!  You don't want persistence on number of copies!  I can see that
being a big problem!

User opens document, prints 100 copies.  Closes document.  Next day, they open
some other document and then print it.  Users will not think about number of
copies, because they assume 1 (like all other applications)... but they get 100!

Even worse- next day, user opens another document, then prints using the
quick-print icon.  They get 100!

If there is one thing I know really well, it is user behavior.  Trust me, you
don't copies to be persistent.  Persistence with collate makes sense, because
that is a decision that is likely to never change.  But copies should always
default to 1.  It is much, much safer.

BTW, Print-Options and Print-Properties are things stored in the document
itself (I just checked); which makes sense.  So there are only two other
options- collate and copies.  I don't see N-up or anything else...

@pl: great!  Hey- N-up sounds like another really neat option! (If it is what I
think it is- printing multiple pages on a single page side/face).  But beware- I
suspect that is another option that should probably always default to 1.  At
least there is far less damage (print resources) if that is accidentally left
on, if you know what I mean.

@christophnoack: No, it breaks nothing by having the print dialog remember the
last collate setting used.  The collate setting is not saved with documents
(neither is the number of copies, for example).  As long as it is not saved with
the document, then remembering the last setting used will not break (interfere)
with anything else. 

As far as using tools-options: I first proposed that we use
tools-options-print by adding a selection for collate.  But that was shot down
by pl (read the 5th message from the top).

I see the advantage and disadvantage of both approaches.  It seems the most
logical place to address it would be in tools-options.  But the *easiest* (and
fastest) way to address the problem is by just having the print dialog remember
the last used setting; storing that state in some config file.  The latter
approach requires zero UI changes/testing.

More importantly, pl has supposedly already added code for it to remember the
state in the print dialog, so it is probably moot now to worry about it.

I will just be happy if this is fixed in the next release- whatever form the fix
takes.  ANYTHING is better than the current behavior in 3.0.0 - 3.1.0

@mba:  Oh, I understand WHY OO emulates collation- non-page-printers (cheap
inkjet, for example) can't collate on their own.  And before OO started really
using CUPS, there probably weren't a whole lot of options to interact with
printers correctly.  And OO is not the only application under Linux that does
this (it just affects us the most).  It would be best left up to CUPS to handle
the whole collate process.  I don't know enough about CUPS to know if it has a
readable property to determine if the printer can collate on its own.  I also
don't know if you can tell CUPS to do the collation, and CUPS will decide if the
printer is smart or stupid and handle it properly, itself.  This is, of course,
the root cause of our issues.  Perhaps this CUPS interaction concept should be
yet another issue number, assigned to PRINT?

@pl/mba: Our (my) problem would be 75% solved with just adding persistence.
However, if there is no way for me to get the starting default to be OFF, some
of my problem remains, since I am forced to rely on education to let every user
know they need to change it manually, at least once.  And, then, every time
there is an upgrade.  I would still hope for a sysadmin setting/config file, or
environment variable or something.  But I will take whatever I can get as a
major improvement over what we have right now.  :)

@pl:  yes (assuming persistence will last across dialog pop-ups AND across
sessions)  Thanks so much... sounds like at least that part could be pushed out
quickly.

@EVERYONE:  I need to correct something I said in my very first posting...  I
implied the issue is only a problem when printing more than one copy of
multi-page documents with collate ON. This is not correct, it is worse...  The
problem occurs even when printing more than one copy of *single-page* documents
with collate ON!  So 100 copies of a single 50MB page also sends 5000MB to the
printer.

I do wish I could find some type of hack to immediately change the default so I
can roll out 3.1.0 here (our compiling OO is not an option).  The problem is
severe enough for us that I had to halt our rollout upgrade from 2.3 to 3.1 that
we spent several weeks configuring, testing, and documenting :(  Isn't there
some secret file I can hack?

I agree that my UI suggestion be overdoing it a tad...as an administrator, I
tend to like lots of options :)

As an alternative, I suggest that the print dialog should be changed to remember
the previously selected state for collate, for all users, and start off with
collate unchecked (OFF) for new installs, since that it is the safest setting
for all situations.  Everyone will get what they want and need.  Those irritated
with the old behavior of it always reverting to uncollated will only have to
check it once.  Those who don't know the difference, don't care, or won't mess
with it, will have a default that does not cause problems for page printers.

Then for further refinement or lockdown, give options in the configuration file
entry for the site administrator that could turn it off and/or hide it.

I don't think having only a config file without changing the print dialog
default behavior is good enough, since that presupposes that sites (and even end
users) know there is the problem to begin with.  For example, I didn't discover
the problem until after implementation was already completed and OO 3.0/1 rolled
out to users because I never thought to test multiple copies of large documents.
 It never occurred to me that OO would send hundreds of identical 50MB print
jobs when collation used to work fine with collate off.  After the network
became saturated and server and end-user performance suffered, only then did I
discover it... (and had absolutely no way to fix it).

Whatcha think?  A reasonable compromise?

It would be useful to know if this issue only affects Linux or also other
platforms as well.  For example, if you set collate ON in MacOS version and
send 2 copies of a 10MB multipage document to an intelligent page printer, does
it send 20MB (2 x 10) to the printer or just 10MB?  (It is easiest to determine
this by including large bitmap graphics in the test document, then check the
CUPS logs to see the size for a 1 qty print job, vs a 2 qty print job)

Do note, however, that the proposed solution would not adversely affect other OS
versions.

Sorry, didn't know I wasn't supposed to set targets... perhaps wishful
thinking? :)

You imply it might not be a real problemtrust me, it is for sites like mine.
 We can't afford the network and CPU load that sending zillions of unnecessary
copies of print job data places on us, especially when it is completely
avoidable (since *all* our printers will always automatically collate).

Anyway, I do agree with your reasoning about the issue type.  It isn't
necessarily an error (defect)... the inherent behavior of sending multiple
redundant copies in the print job has always been there when collate was on,
even before the defaults were changed.  It is just that many of us wouldn't know
about the problems (or have issues with it) until the option was forced as
default on every time the print dialog appears.

However, it is somewhat more that just an enhancement, because it is
attempting to fix latent problems/issues that arose from the previous
enhancement.  Since there aren't all that many issue types in the QA system,
I suppose enhancement would best fit... but with more of an urgency than a
typical enhancement would justify.

Fortunately, I believe the minimal fix (start OFF, then remember previous
state across dialogs and sessions) is probably easy to define, understand, test,
and implement, and with no negative consequences; all while retaining the
original intent of the first enhancement: making it so nobody will have to
constantly change the collate option flag.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I *did* create a new issue, ( issue 101973 ), and it was quickly marked as a
duplicate and closed!  :)   THIS issue (59506) was probably re-opened when it
was realized that just changing the default created more problems than it
supposedly fixed.

Should I create yet another?  Should Issue 101973 be re-opened?

Adding updated info from followup on issue 59506 here...  

Some people will want collate on as the default... just for convenience.  Many
people have asked for it, and unfortunately it was given to them in OO 3.0
without any real regard to the consequences.  Many people will have severe
problems with the default being on, and our business is one of them (as I
explained in a previous comment, above).

There might be some type of different options under other OS's (MSWin/MacOS),
but under Linux it is very problematic using the collate function on.

The suggestion about storing the collate setting per printer is probably not
practical, since there is no user interface in OO that addresses saved options
on a per-printer basis (unless they want to resurrect the spadmin tool, which is
now pretty much dead).  Storing such a setting in a document doesn't really make
any sense.

So the only best remaining way to handle the problem is to make an option in
tools-printing that can hold a user's preference for collation:

1) Remember previously used state (begin with setting off)
2) Always default to off
3) Always default to on
4) Always remain off (and don't show option in print dialog)

With the default setting for new installations set to #1 (since that is most
logical).

The above change would solve the problem for most people once and for all. 
Although there should also be a way that a system administrator can set the
default for new users, to make the problem absolutely solvable on systems where
printers do their own collation all the time (which is most modern laser
printers and copiers).

mba said:
It seems that this was already implemented some time ago. 

Implemented where?  When?.  I am using 3.1.0 in Linux and I don't see any way to
control the default behavior of collate user-wide, printer-wide, or system-wide.
 It is currently hard-coded to be ON and the user can only temporarily turn it 
off.

Now, you might have some type of different option under some other OS
(MSWin/MacOS) but not under the latest OO running under Linux.

As I said before, it is currently a major mess for people running Linux using
intelligent page printers (like mid-range/high-rage laser printers and copiers).

We were sent a single-page MS-Word .doc file.  Opened it in OO 3.1 and also OO
2.3 (and also on a different machine).  It looks fine on the screen, but if we
try to print it, it becomes a runaway process, consuming 100% CPU forever (we
killed it after 10 min).  However, if we create a PDF of it from OO, that only
takes a few seconds and then we can print it fine with Acrobat Reader.  I have
not seen this type of behavior before, and we deal with lots of .doc files. 
Tried both options to reduce and not reduce transparency, didn't make any
difference.

While it is stuck in runaway it slowly eats away more and more memory, too.

I do not know who created the document and with what.  But it was sent to many
people, including our business.  It is attached to this issue.

[sw-issues] [Issue 59506] Defaulting to collate pag es

The behavior in OO 3.X was changed...  Now the default in OO is to always have
collate on in the print dialog, with no default choice allowed, without
remembering the previous setting, and with no system-wide settings option.

This is a now MAJOR problem for us.  Under Linux/CUPS with network PS printers,
the printer handles collation automatically.  You just send a multipaged job to
the printer, and the number of copies.  The printer will repeat the job in it's
memory quickly and efficiently.

Now that the default in OO has changed, the users don't know that they are NOT
supposed to check Collate.  When you check that box, OpenOffice will generate
the output N number of times.  When a user requests 100 copies of a 50MB
document, OO now sends 5,000MB of data to the printer. It causes tremendous
waste of CPU (we are centralized with thin clients) and tremendous waste of
network bandwidth. It also slows down the printing process.  All because that
default was changed.

I can't find a way to change the default to OFF like it used to be before OO
3.X. We need an environment variable or a way to hack the config files in the
installation directory.

I can't find a way to change the default to OFF like it used to be before OO
3.0. We need an environment variable or a way to hack the config files in the
installation directory.  A better long-term fix would be to at least have a
default setting for collate in tools-options.  Have a three-way setting: 
always on, always off, and remember last setting.

I doubt you would be able to duplicate it in XP.  But I did duplicate it, yet
again, on another machine: my really fast Linux machine at home.  On a fast
machine, you almost can't see the delay, although it is there.

In any case, 3.1.0 JUST came out, so I downloaded that and tested it at work
with the thin client and the problem is SOLVED.  So someone must have already
noticed and fixed it

3.1 also loads much faster, and speeds up the mouse region selecting in Calc a
LOT.  Unfortunately, now I am having some performance problems in Draw... but
that is a different subject :)

In OO 3.0.1 Calc, when you call up format cells and it tries to display the
Numbers tab, there is a very noticeable delay before anything appears.  On
this system, it is about two seconds before the Format Cells pop-up window
appears on the screen.  But it is related to the Numbers tab.  If you select
any other tab (like Font), then close/cancel the Format Cells window, then
pull up the Format Cells window again, it is instant because it doesn't have to
draw the Numbers tab.  Now click on the Numbers tab with the Format Cells
window already open, and there is the two second delay again.  But once the
Numbers tab is drawn, you can click on any other tab and return to the
Numbers tab instantly.

I have never seen this behavior before in OpenOffice (it didn't do this in 2.3
or 2.4).  I am using the plain vanilla OpenOffice on Mandriva 2006.0 on a thin
client.  So I also tried it on a stand-alone machine with Mandriva 2009.1, with
the Mandriva-compiled OO 3.01 RPM, and it acts exactly the same way!

Something is very wrong with the Numbers tab.  On this machine, if you call up
the Format Cells window by right clicking in a call, it doesn't even get rid of
the right-click dialog for those two seconds.  I don't know what is wrong, but
during that delay, there is 100% CPU usage.  I am sure on faster machines, the
delay is smaller, but on slower machines, it is quite noticeable and 
frustrating.

I am very glad this is being fixed!  It has annoyed me for many years now.

But will it be possible to change the default menus for OpenOffice so that
instead of the simple elipse and rectangle tools that are on the toolbar the
elipse MENU and rectangle MENU replace them, like it was in OpenOffice 1.X?

It makes a lot more sense to have the fly-out menus available by default so
users don't have to go digging through several layers of menu customization just
to create a square or rounded corner rectangle.  Any serious Draw user will
greatly appreciate it, and it won't offend new users, since it isn't complicated
nor does it eat up toolbar space.

Maybe I don't understand why the default choices were changed in OOo 2.X.  There
might be some good reason, but I can't think of one!

I have not tested this thoroughly, but it appears that
SAL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ALPHA=TRUE does, indeed fix the problem on my system (Linux
00 2.3.0).  This is the first time I have been able to properly print pages with
transparent frames since 2.1.0.  This makes me very happy, even though it really
isn't fixed.

So, the questions is, what are the side effects, negatives, or consequences of
setting SAL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ALPHA=TRUE ?  Is it going to create other issues that
I am not aware of yet?  What exactly is the purpose of Native Alpha? 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Environment_Variables  doesn't say
anything useful.

Thanks!

thb:  Thanks for the info.  I have been using writer with
SAL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ALPHA=TRUE much of the day now.  I can't say I notice any
difference in rendering speed yet... which is a good thing.  (We use Linux based
thin clients displaying OO 2.3.0 from a central Linux server at 100Mb/s).

I wish there were a way I could help more on a real fix, but I am not a
programmer.  However, if you need any additional testing or sample files, etc,
let me know.

I still think there is a design flaw in OO if it is using the Xserver to render
(in any way) for PRINTING purposes (I know it is, because when I print a huge
newsletter, it creates insane network activity to the local thin desktop and
almost freezes everything- sometimes for minutes).

Let me clarify.

I did not try his test document (because there was no need).  However, tiled
printing *was* very much broken, and in the manner described (two or top pages
print something, lots of blank other pages or pages with gibberish, no matter
what type of tiling I used and no matter which printer).  At some point between
2.2 and 2.3 it was fixed for me.  I print large diagrams and had to transfer
them over to ancient OO install to print them.  I can now print them fine, I
just don't know exactly when it was fixed.  We do not, however, use an A4
printer.  Everything is either US letter or US tabloid sized, usually printed
tiled across 4 such pages (2x2).

We just need to have variable raster export resolution control and have
something higher than OO's fixed max, which is currently about 2048x2048. 
Personally, I don't care what it is called (res, dpi, lpi, ppi), as long as it
rasterizes at something the user specifies.  It does seem that ppi is the most
logical name, however.  To me, an export is printer-irrelevent.  If I wanted to
print it from OpenOffice, I would use the print function.  Shouldn't matter
which printers I have defined or available in OO for the export function.

I think in total resolution of my output, so for me, I want to know I am getting
1600x1200 or 3200x2400 or whatever.  When exporting, DPI/PPI/LPI really means
that if I am exporting at 600DPI, for example, then my 8x10 page (from page
format in OO Draw) will result in a 4800x6000 jpg or png (or whatever), which is
not currently possible.

The mockup is OK, and placing it in page format kinda makes sense (as long as
the export filters honor it).  Only thing I would change is to rename it from
resolution to export resolution, because it might otherwise confuse people.
 It doesn't change anything when printing or viewing or saving or anything else
except for rasterized export.

I don't know where the rasterization occurs.  Does the export filter do it?  Or
is it done by OO internally and the result is passed to the filter for
post-processing?  I suspect it is internal to OO, because that is why we are
hitting a consistent upper size limit.  If this is the case, then there is a
single, internal rasterization routine that will need to be modified to allow it
to become much bigger when necessary (warning: this could eat up a LOT of RAM...
might be a good idea to have it also honor some max RAM setting in 
Tools-Options).

If one challenge is the necessity to modify all the filters- I would suggest
concentrating first (or even only) on the only two that will matter the most to
most people- jpg and png, and worry about the others later.

That was suggested in this thread two years ago by intersol.  But I still
wouldn't consider it fixed, I would consider that to be a workaround

1) The merge shouldn't put extra pages in, unless the user chooses to do so. 
Most users will have no idea why extra pages would be a hard-coded default (me
niether)

2) Most users wouldn't know where to go to try and change the supress setting.

3) What is on the screen is confusing, regardless, with the strange left/right
page numbering.

4) I think supressing the extra pages in the print dialog will not help with
save as, when you create a report or something and want to export it as an
ASCII text file for futher editing.

Vtdiy, I would not recommend putting such a setting in Format.  To me, the
most logical place to ask about export resolution is when you export, which
would be in the export dialog.  If you do write up something, see my previous
posting- there are at least four things that need to be addressed:

1) The DPI setting has no effect when exporting
2) The maximum resolution for raster exporting is too low
3) There is no user choice in export resolution
4) There is no user feedback for actual resolution during an export

Just asking the user for (an honoring) a resolution is only 2 of the 4 issues. 
I would also caution against only using the term DPI, since exporting really
has nothing to do with Dots Per Inch... that is only meaningful when printing. 
It is better to relay resolution in total pixels (like 1650x1275) or show both
(like 150DPI 1650x1275).  For the ultimate in convenience, show and let the
user set any of DPI, resolution, and Megapixels (150 DPI 1650x1275 2.1 MP),
then the user wouldn't have to do any math :)

I could see adding a 5, to the above, also:

5) There is no place to set the default export resolution

Which would probably be in Tools-Options

It means they don't expect it to be fixed for the next release.  It is much
better than marking it WON'T FIX or INVALID like what happens with some
problems.  Having an actual target listed, rather than just a generic OOLATER
is also a good sign.  Targets are just guesses as to which release a fix might
be made, not promises.

Bug fixes, where something is actually broken, take priority over enhancements,
like this one.  At some point they have to stop making changes in order to push
out a new release.  Then the cycle begins again.

I don't know exactly how enhancements are prioritized, but those with more votes
are likely to end up nearer the top of the list.

I have new information.  The problem also occurs under OpenOffice 2.2.0 under
Linux.  I will attached three postscript outputs for the sample test document
that I first attached.  It is the output of each for 2.1.0, 2.2.0, and 2.3.0.

I would be happy to install additional older OpenOffices if we need to narrow
down exactly when it started between 2.1.0 and 2.2.0.  I would also welcome
someone to send me their generated postscript of the test document from 2.3.0
and I will print it here and see if it comes out correctly or not.

od: I am not sure how the Linux printing system could be the cause of the issue,
unless there is something inherently different between the postscript that 2.1.0
generates and that of 2.2.0.  Hopefully the new attachments would assist someone
that is fluent in postscript to notice the difference.

Also of importance is to note that this is not the only problem we are having
with printing documents with transparencies in newer OpenOffices...  I have some
other examples, too.  But I don't want to complicate the bug reporting yet,
unless there is a need for more information.

Add me as a me too.  I believe that the PDF export in Draw should only export
the layers marked for printing.  Right now, I have to go through a dozen layers
and actually delete them before making a PDF!

[framework-issues] [Issue 20065] Q-PCD Easier way to manage layers

--- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 24 21:32:12 +

OK, it is wy later now (Target milestone = OOo Later)... might be time to
reconsider the layers management in OO Draw.  Has been 4 years since first
posted about version 1.0.0.  Not much has improved on the layers tabs in 2.3.

It really can be a pain working with lots of layers:

1) The user cannot just grab a layer tab and move it to reorder layers
2) In fact, the user cannot re-order the layers at all!  There is no method.
3) The names of the layers are supposed to appear blue when the layer is not
visible.  Most of the time it just doesn't work- they are not blue.  I open
documents with non-visible layers all the time and the tabs are not blue- but if
I modify them and change nothing and click on OK, that ONE layer tab will
temporarily have blue text.
4) Having to turn on/off visibility of several layers is very time consuming,
you have to double click on the tab, wait for it to appear, change the
visibility, then OK, then do it all again.  Why not have a right-click on the
tab with a checkmark for visibility and printability?
5) Tabs should be color coded for visibility/print/lock.  For example, blue text
if not visible.  Red background if locked.  Yellow outline if not printable.

It might also be nice to have a separate, multi row/column dialog for
controlling all layers at once, as CJ suggested (under view-layers).  (Compare
to the way the GIMP layer dialog works.)

Just some ideas!

Actually, that is what I figured.  It was probably far easier (and faster) at
the time to just render on the Xserver, since that was available and working. 
Thin clients are nothing new, yet certainly not going away.  Hopefully, one day
it can be fixed.  There might already be methods for doing this in other *ix
applications... but I am not well versed in that area, so I can't know, either 
way.

Thanks for listening :)

It is not the same issue at all.  And, I don't even think issue 80316 is valid-
his child frame is clearly marked to wrap in background, and that is exactly
what OO does.

I don't think this is a valid issue.  Look at his child frame in the sample
document.  It is marked to wrap in background, and that is exactly what
OpenOffice writer does- it puts the child frame in the background.  So, of
course the parent frame is going to show through!

I should clarify:

It isn't exactly clear what OpenOffice means by in background, for frame
wrapping, but:

1) The described behavior is exactly what OO has always done.
2) I can't think of any other meaning for in background if OO writer doesn't
behave this way.
3) I like to think of in background as meaning make this frame not wrap and
go behind other frames as if the other frames were transparent, except for the
background.
4) You can see that it really is not transparency because if you set different
colors on the backgrounds of the parent and child frames, they don't combine. 
The child background takes precedence.

This is something that causes a problem in our environment.  We use thin-client
Xterminals.  A Xterminal runs only the Xserver- the applications reside on a
different Linux/Unix central host.  Only the graphics output are sent to the
Xserver, and the Xserver sends back mouse and keyboard events to the Xhost.

Start with a Writer or Draw document that contains partially transparent
objects.  They can be simple transparent objects or transparency in frames.  I
suspect it will also do this in Impress.

Next, try to print the document.  You will be warned if you want to reduce
transparency.  Answer no, because you really want it.  Now watch the network.
 During a long wait, OpenOffice is apparently uses the Xserver to compute the
transparency rendering!  It has to pass huge blocks of data from the application
to the Xserver.  If you have a large or complex document, and a slower network,
the user can be stuck waiting for 5, 10, even 20 minutes!  And during that
time, the network is saturated (possibly in both directions), preventing the
user from using other applications.

There seems to be a flaw in the design of OpenOffice that assumes the Xserver
will ALWAYS be local- running on the same machine as OpenOffice, itself.  That
assumption is a violation of the [client/server] design model for the X Windows
System.

Granted, most modern OpenOffice users will have machines that run both the
Xserver and OpenOffice on the same machine, but it *can* cause problems for
people who use a thin model.  With the current design, the speed of rendering is
tied directly to the speed of the network.  I have a feeling it was just
easier to use some routines in the Xserver to do the transparency, instead of
writing new ones, and that most Unix/Linux users would never know.

Is there a way to stop using the Xserver to perform rendering for printing?

Markellse, why do you think this issue has been fixed?  I have seen no
indication that there has been any fix on this six-year-old issue.  You are
right that sometimes things are fixed and we don't know about it, because the
issues aren't marked that way until much later.  And often things are fixed or
enhanced and not even mentioned in the release notes.

For example, when 2.3.0 came out, OO *finally* had the ability to use a page
size greater than 48 or whatever the max used to be.  But I ran across it
completely by accident- this major new ability was not mentioned anywhere.

In any case, I have 2.3.1 installed and no, it is not fixed.  When I export to a
jpeg (or other raster format), I am not asked what resolution I want, it doesn't
tell me how big the raster file will be (in pixels), the export resolution is
mysteriously based on page size, and the maximum rasterized output resolution
was 2250x2048.  Nothing has changed.

OK, well, I tried to reproduce it in 2.3.0 and now it says Save as single

Well, I would love to know how to make the developers take notice that it is a
pretty serious problem that should be fixed and the current behavior really is
broken.  There have been half a dozen duplicate bug reports, and many people who
are not satisfied.

I fear once it is resolved as wontfix, that is the end.  Any new postings of
a similar nature will just point back to this one.

This is not new information, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere on this
issue.  It might actually constitute sever issues.

The maximum resolution you can export in Draw is 2048x2048.  It is impossible to
export a PNG or JPEG of any greater resolution.  If you are looking for a
high-quality rasterized output for printing, the printed result is only 3.4
wide at 600dpi or 1.7 wide at 1200dpi.  Even at a very low 300dpi, it is only
7 wide, not enough to fill a typical letter sized paper.  And to get the
maximum 2048 wide export, you have to lie about the paper size, choosing a huge
30+ paper size and resizing your graphics to fit the page, prior to exporting.

This [artifically low] resolution limit severely cripples Draw for any serious
graphics work.  For example, I might want to make a collage of a few dozen
photographs and then save it as a JPEG to be sent to a photo developer for a
large print.  Right now, we can only export a 3 megapixel output!  Another
example- I have a complex network diagram, I want to export it so I can send it
to a printing business to blow up onto a 4 foot wide poster.  They don't accept
ODF or any of the few vector formats supported in OO.  I have to use JPEG.  The
result- a printed diagram that can't be read due to low resolution.

Note that DPI really is just a hint in a graphics file, it really doesn't mean
anything until it is time to display or print it.  It would exceptionally useful
if the export dialog asked the user the desired resolution and told the user the
actual number of pixels wide by pixels high.

In summary:

1) The DPI setting has no effect when exporting
2) The maximum resolution for raster exporting is too low
3) There is no user choice in export resolution
4) There is no user feedback for actual resolution during an export

(Please note that someone should change the platform setting on this issue, it
is not MS-Windows XP specific, it affects all platforms.)

--- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 14 12:28:47 +

I am absolutely blown away that this is now marked as WONTFIX!  It is most
certainly a BROKEN behavior.  Let's analyze:

1) 90%+ of printers in use today are simplex, not duplex.  So it breaks the
behavior on 90% of the printers.  This is an exaggeration.  I would be glad to
provide a poll of my 100+ user Linux user's group, if you like.  If you really
felt it was necessary to insert blank pages for duplex printers, then check the
current printer properties to see if duplex is on by default before ruining the
document.

2) Even on duplex printers, it is not necessary to send blank pages, unless you
are actually using it in duplex mode at the time.  All duplex printers I have
ever used (and I have used many) do not enter duplex mode unless specifically
requested by the application, or if left permanently on in the printing
subsystem (which is also exceedingly rare).

3) People don't necessarily want to use the complicated wizzard for a merge.  In
many cases, wizards can be more complex than just doing what you want without
going through lots of additional questions.

4) Saving a merged file is not the same function as printing directly.  So even
if most printers were duplex (which they most certainly are not), saving the
file should NOT have the behavior.  

5) I can almost guarantee that the vast majority of users are going to be
confused and irritated by the current behavior of inserting unnecessary blank 
pages.

6) Yes the page number indicator is wrong, it should not always show you as
being on page one.  If I start a brand new document and insert several hard
pages, it works correctly- it doesn't say I am on page 1 for every page I move
to.  Of course, this could be some other type of bug and unrelated to this 
issue.

[sw-issues] [Issue 58919] Blank Pages in Mail Merge

Regarding PDF- you are confusing me with hvedk... I never used that example,
although I agree with his logic.  I consider the extra pages as a contamination
of the resulting merged output.  It makes it difficult to print, difficult to
review, and difficult to convert to PDF.

As for the wizard- I hate it.  It is confusing, long, and doesn't do at all what
I want to do, which is to simply grab a few fields from a spreadsheet and place
them in a docuemnt I have already designed.

I do understand your explanation, I just still don't agree with it.  I think it
is more broken in its current form, for more people, than it would be if the
blank pages were not added.  If the user WANTED to print it in duplex, then
having the merge contain extra blank pages defeats that and makes them print
simplex.  If the merge had no blank pages, it will still not print in duplex
unless the user had the printer locked down to ALWAYS print EVERYTHING in
duplex.  And I have *never* seen anyone do that (in 22 years as an IT 
professional).

Typically, using merge, the user will want separate physical pages for each
record.  But that is not ALWAYS the case.  In WordPerfect, for example, I use
merging all the time to make fancy reports in which there are more than one
record on a printed page.  I also use merging to create multipart pages, in
which one page will be cut into separate physical parts later.  Inserting blank
pages (or even new pages in these cases) tends to make that even more difficult.

I belive I understand some of the constraints with duplex.  But at a very
minimum- there should be a choice in the merge dialog if the user wants to have
artifically added blank pages or not, with the default being no.  I would
propose this:

Page Control:  [ ] Streaming- no pages breaks between records
   [*] Page breaks- each record on a separate page
   [ ] Page breaks plus an extra blank page

There is a typo in the Mail Merge dialog.

Under Save merged document there are two options.  They are Save as single
document and save as individual document.  Linguistically, those two phrases
are identical in English.

I think they meant to say Save as individual documents with an s on the end.
 Otherwise it is quite confusing as to how the two options differ- that one will
create a single file and the other will create multiple files.

This is a serious issue... and still confusing and irritating my users in
version 2.3, almost two years after joesny first reported it.

Under no case should blank pages be added to a merge document, unless the user
has specifically requested it... and there are no such options in any merge
dialog.  Starting a new page with each record makes perfect sense, but not
adding blank pages.

If I open a saved, merged document that was a one page form merged with three
records, I expect three pages.  Instead, I get content, blank, content, blank,
content.  That is FIVE pages.  When I click on the first page, the page
indicator says Page 1/5 when I then click on the only other next page I can
find, it says Page 1 3/5!!  So something is also trying to hide the blank
pages, making them extremely difficult to remove or even see, and messing up the
page indicator too.  They are visible, however, if you do a page preview of the
document.

I don't see how this really has anything to do with duplex as has been suggested
in other comments.  In our case, no printer or printer settings are ever set to
duplex before or after merging a document.  If this problem was created with
duplex in mind, then the document should have been 6 pages in the above example,
not 5.

And, although this is probably not the appropriate location for the comment-
there should be a THIRD option in the UI for the merge dialog, create and open
new document.  It should be unnecessary to print the document to a file, then
turn around and manually open the document to look at it.  Simply open up a new
window with the new, merged document in it.  And that should be set as the
default option- not printing, not saving to a single file, not saving to
multiple files.

If you check user behavior- I bet 90%+ of people will want to look at what they
merged to make sure it is correct, before printing it.  Currently, this means
always having to save it out, then having to open it back up again.  And this
blank page bug is validation as to why users want and need to look at the
document before printing.

In OO 2.3 there is a new problem that did NOT occur in 2.1:

How to reproduce:  If you create an OO Writer document, insert a frame, set a
background bitmap image to area, anchor to page.  Make that frame rather
large.  Then go inside that frame and insert another frame, anchored to
paragraph, set a white background, then set transparency to, perhaps 25%.  Then
type some text in the frame.  Now print the document.  In both 2.1  2.3 it will
print properly- you will see about a 25% transparency in the top/white frame.

Now turn off the border on the parent frame that has a background bitmap set and
print the document.  In 2.1 it will print properly.  In 2.3 the top/white frame
will suddenly change to 100% transparency.  It will look OK on the screen or in
a PDF you create from 2.3, but it will not print properly.

I have repeated the test many times, to several printers, as several users. 
This is a fairly severe problem for us, because our company newsletter uses
partial transparent frames like this.  It took me MANY hours of troubleshooting
the documents to finally narrow down this problem so I could find what causes it
and so I could report it.  Users not knowing this information might go crazy
trying to figure out what is broken.

Workaround:  Our only work around has been to turn on a border on the lowest
frame, making it the same color as the paper (white) and with no spacing.  This
workaround is successful on some documents, but not others.

I will attach a sample document to this issue so it can be tried on other
platforms and other OO versions by testers so the root cause can be corrected. 
I would be happy to attach additional documents as needed- more samples, scans
of the prints, postscript of the prints, etc.

I have verified the rectangle menu item is also broken also under Linux
OpenOffice 2.2 and Linux OpenOffice 2.3.  The elipse menu item works fine, 
though.

And, btw, instead of the simple elipse and rectangle tools that are on the
toolbar (by default) it really should be put back to the elipse MENU and
rectangle MENU, like it was in OpenOffice 1.X.

It would be very useful to have the ability to add glue points to connector
lines.  This way the user could create connectors that connect to other
connectors at places other than the two endpoints.  For example- it would be
possible to have what appears to be a single connector that connects to more
than two objects.

It would be nice to have an attribute that could be placed on connector lines
that allow them to intelligently route themselves.  Using such a feature, when
a connected object is moved, the connector line tries to avoid going through
other objects and other connectors.

I also searched and could not find an issue about docx, other than yours.  This
surprises me, too.  The docx file format is still rather new, but it has been
out for several months and my users are already starting to get them every now
and then.

In the coming months/years, it will be critical to have the ability to not only
open but also save OO files in .docx format (unfortunately).

There is a method for converting them on the command line using a utility from
Novel called OdfConverter- but it is released as a Linux binary-only. Some
info here:

I meant to also add that the problem is pretty severe and it isn't just that you
can add one color at a time.  It simply is not possible to add more than one new
color, EVER.  Even if I exit out of options and go back in, I still can't add
another color.  Even if I save and exit out of OpenOffice completely, go back in
to options and try to add more more color, it crashes.  It also crashes the same
way when you try to add colors through Area, rather than through Tools-Options.

The ONLY way I could get my 7 custom colors into OpenOffice was to replace
(modify) existing Chart X colors.  Hopefully this won't cause a problem with
the new charting functions...

This is a critical flaw.  Since it was reported on RC1, it should NOT have made
its way into the live/final/released 2.3.0 :(   Without a workaround for the
released version, many of us are stuck with a very bad problem.

I just thought of a new feature that would save me (and presumably tons of other
people) lots of time and frustration.  Not sure what to call it, so I will call
it cloning objects for now (although linking objects might also be
appropriate).  For all I know, this feature might exist in other drawing 
programs.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if an object or group of objects could be cloned
instead of copied (like a symbolic file link)?  The cloned object or group would
then appear on the screen and could be moved and possibly a few transforms
(position, size, orientation).  With the exception of the few transforms, if you
try to edit the object or group, it would change all the clones in the document.

It is almost a logical extension to the OpenOffice styles philosophy.  Plus,
these clones will take up very little space in the document file.  They would
allow the user a hugely productive tool.  There are many times I find myself
making n-up documents in Draw- where I want the same group of objects several
places on the screen.  But if I decide to make a change, I have to delete all
the copies, make a change, then copy and resposition all the copies.  Syncing
clones would eliminate that problem completely.

Another example- when I draw complex diagrams and use the same group of objects
that form a symbol that are used all over the diagram.  Many times I have wanted
to just change one symbol and have them all change, but I don't see a way to do
that in OpenOffice Draw.

[sw-issues] [Issue 29150] Rotate text 180 degrees

I totally agree.  Trying to insert a text object is a huge kludge.  If text
orientation (in a table, for example) can be rotated 90 degrees or 270 degrees,
it makes perfect sense to have a 180 degree option.  There have been numerous
times I have needed to do this for making quizes, puzzles, forms, even table
tents and cards (think- folding little cutouts in half).  Trying to rotate lots
of individual objects, all inserted in separate text boxes is a nightmare.

So, like everyone else, I have to cheat and just use Draw- and lose the ability
to have tables and other word-processing related functionality; or run the
printed output back through the printer a second time.

You guys are really good at finding duplicates... I searched four different ways
and still didn't find issue 29150.  Perhaps it wasn't set to look that far back?
 Can't remember.

Seems like most of the things I find, other people have found too.  Let's hope
we don't have to wait another three years before we see the enhancement or
someone else finds it too!  Thanks

Yes, you can create create an object in Draw that is rotated and then insert it
into the Writer document for each cell, but it is a royal pain in the ***.  You
end up with a document that is huge, messy, extremely complicated, hard to edit,
style-hostile, and fragile.

One can also rotate text 180 degrees in a spreadsheet.  So Writer is the only
one that artificially limits rotation to 0, 90, 270.  Strange, no?

On several occasions now I have needed to rotate text in certain table cells by
180 degrees (upside-down).  There are options for 0, 90, and 270 in
character-position now... why not 180?

Oh- terribly sorry... I completely forgot I had already found and commented on
an existing issue.  Sometimes my memory is not what it used to be.  I have no
idea why it didn't come up when I searched before posting.

But I do greatly resent your tone.  Perhaps before judging what happened and
verbally lashing me, you could

1) Realize that it could have been an honest mistake (which it was)
2) Realize that *I AM ALSO* a volunteer, trying to help make OpenOffice better,
just like you.

Thank you for volunteering your time.

Codes were the best thing ever, and it is what made WordPerfect one of the best
word processors of all time.  I still use it when possible, and it reminds me of
the limitations of OpenOffice Writer.  Codes allow the user much more power and
contol over documents.  They prevent mysterious documents- you can tell
exactly what is happening.  Even trying to determine which styles are in effect
on something can be a challenge.

This issue was opened almost five years ago and still marked as OOLater. 
Isn't it time to consider that now is later?  OpenOffice is great, but it can
always be better!

Six YEARS!!!  That is how long people have been waiting for this relatively
simple feature to be added to OpenOffice!  I can't tell you how often I have
needed the initial caps (first letter of each word) function.  Anybody out
there want to take this on?

jirkaz: Have you tried to replicate what I found, above?  Open the old doc,
change all the margins to be the same as default new documents, check printer
options to make sure it says DEFAULT, then print it...

This is a continuation of the supposedly fixed issue #70619.

In OO 2.0.4, a NASTY bug was introduced into Draw that caused printed documents
to shift down and to the right by about 1/4 each when printed.

Well, at first glance, it was fixed in 2.1.0.  But it is still there, in hiding.

If you open an existing document (pre 2.1.0) that doesn't have margins set to
.39 .39 .39 .39 (why did the default margins change in 2.1.0?), and try to print
with DEFAULT mode (whatever that is), it will tell you page options don't
match and do you want to trim or fit to page/etc.

If you changed the margins on the old document to .39 before printing DEFAULT,
it will ask no questions and print perfectly, the same as in older OO (pre
2.0.4) versions.   However, if you say trim, it will NOT PRINT CORRECTLY,
shifting the entire printed page down 1/4 and right 1/4 and moving the center
point.

I don't understand why the margins make any difference anyway, since they don't
seem to serve ANY purpose in draw documents.  (Besides- fit to page with
printing is also misleading in function and in help- it doesn't do what the user
expects: it doesn't scale EVERYTHING down to fit on one page, it just simply
scales down .15 on all sides to compensate for the printer's unprintable zone.
 But that is a different issue.)
