Hi,

My wife was working on her thesis, and apparently saved some images in it from
the web (she thought she saved the actual images, which might be a UI issue in
and of itself, but we'll chalk it up to not knowing the program that well).

This morning, when she went to open the document, it hung (causing general panic
and marital strife, as she had already managed to corrupt the file yesterday,
making Linux, OO, and the world of computer very unpopular in the household!).

Thanks to the prompt suggestions of some people on the OO channel in IRC, and
some straceing on my part, I noticed that it was hung on a connect system call,
to port 80 on some site.

So, basically the problem is this: if there is a server that goes stale, opening
a document hangs until things time out.  Since that might take 5 or 10
minutes, your average user is just going to surmise that things have gone to
hell and that they can no longer open their document.

I think what ought to happen is that it attempts to open any linked bits and
pieces in a separate thread, or in some other non-blocking way.

I am not including the actual document, I think that to replicate it, all you
have to do is create a document that links to a site that takes too long to
respond (not something that simply doesn't exist).  It shouldn't be too hard to
do that with a tweaked local server.

I will include a minimal document that illustrates the problem.  However, be
aware that it depends on an external server 'not working' in just the right way,
so if I use one that then comes back on line, it might appear as if everything
is ok.

Thanks,
Dave

[graphics-issues] [Issue 45495] Sort charts independantly from actual data cells

I'm not sure what additional information you need...  I don't care about one
particular chart.  I want to make several different charts from the same data 
by:

* Sorting the data.

* Creating a chart.

* Freezing that chart

* Sorting the data a different way.

* Creating another chart, while leaving the first chart unchanged.

* etc...

It would be quite handy, I think.

Hello,

I have the following 'problem' with openoffice.  I have a large collection of
data that I import from a CSV file.  The format is something like this, as an
example:

name,age,height,weight,salary,etc...

I would like to make a series of charts about the people, and I would like them
to  all be sorted.  So there would be one chart with all the people and their
ages, sorted by age.  Then another chart with the names and heights, sorted by
height, and so on.

Currently, this seems to be impossible, because the moment you sort the cells on
one column, all the charts change and so you can never have all the carts nicely
sorted.

I suppose it would be possible to have multiple data collections, like so:

name,age
name,age
namge,age

name,weight
name,weight
name,weight

But that gets complicated, messy, and worst of all is difficult to import from a
CSV file.  Perhaps the best way around this would be some way to unlink chart
sorting from actual cell sorting.  Does that make sense?

Thankyou for your time,
David N. Welton

Hi,

While working on a book, I imported some source code text, with unix \n line
endings, so it was seen as a series of paragraphs by OOo.  In order to tighten
things up a bit, I wanted to change those to line-breaks.  However, the search
and replace regexp engine doesn't seem to be able to do that.  It regards $ as a
paragraph in the search window, and \n as a line-break in the search window. 
However, neither one works as a line break in the replace field.  \n is a
paragraph in the replace field, and $ is just $.  Also, shift-return doesn't
work to input a line break in the replace field.

The manual documents all this, but it still leaves me with no way to easily
transform a series of paragraphs into line breaks...

Thanks for your time,
Dave
