I would like me, too. ;-( Maybe Dave has an idea how to get this done. Neverthelesss I'll try to change to the popup window tomorrow as it is definitely better than what we have now. More changes could be done later. best to see the text appear below, like the light green frame with installation instructions that pops out when an OS is selected. As you can see in the popup windows the text is different between the platforms and they can change over the time. When showing this in a (not that) little box depending on what is clicked or where the mouse is, I think it can be disturbing. IMHO the focus on downloading the files is than left to some other stuff. Maybe the popup window can change to a full window that is opened in a new tab? OK, I'll try this as next task. Any chance to add install instructions for the Linux, not been around enough distros to know the difference between the various installs. Seems to be a barrier for some people to use AOO instead of the default office suite. I hesitate to put it beside the other text. As it is a lot more, it's more complex to get it localized. But I would favor a link that points to a centralized webpage. Like it is done with the "Java and Apache OpenOffice" link. What about a Wiki page? Yes, the install instructions could be a separate webpage or indeed somewhere is the Wiki where it can be linked to. I've found this webpage (which was last updated on Nov 2018): https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html So, in general we have already the instructions. However, they could need an update. ;-) For the beginning I've added a link to this webpage. Changing it to move it to the Wiki would be a next task. Back to the topic: Do we have now any suggetions for hints that a macOS user could be intested in?

Integrate download wizard into website?
Hello, I've been experiencing steady small improvements to the download explanations (on the Download-Site) for the last few months. Does anyone see the possibility to offer a parallel wizard on the website in the future, which guides step by step through the selection of the correct download? This question does not refer to today's but rather to the possibilities that will be given by the future change of the CMS. greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

That would be difficult for me. JavaScript? Maybe, but it's not really easy for me either. I'm not very familiar with web programming, unfortunately.

Sorry, then my knowledge is actually wrong, because I was always of the opinion that there were technical constraints that would force me to revise the content of the AOO website in parallel with the introduction of the new CMS. I must then see that I familiarize myself with the new CMS. With the old CMS I got along reasonably well.

Problmes useing changes with Writer
Greetings all; I am currently having problems with accepting changes with AOO Writer 4.1.9 on both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 7, both 64 bit. This is currently having an impact on being able to properly edit the New 4.1.x documentation. When I highlight and a change and press Accept in the edit > Changes dialog the systems go unresponsive and then crash. On Windows 10 there is no error message, the program just quiets, on Windows 7 the error message is OpenOffice 4.1.9 has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.When you click the close button the program gracefully closes.

Do you mean like the sourceforge page, that detects the system and offers the download https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/la test/download No. At least _I_ mean an assistant that asks the user what he wants. And I opened the thread here because on the de-users list once again someone asked because he did not understand how to use the download page. So the person is not able to understand that if he wants an installation package for "Windows, german, version 4.1", he has to set it in the listboxes of the download page first and then click on the appropriate button. with a quick search I can only find 1 request from April, 13th 2021 and nothing from 2020. Right? Where can I find the others? Thanks Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

I've no idea what you mean, so I'm just asking: What do you mean with website? What do you mean with wizard? I mean step by step questions, explanations and choices, e.g. you could start by asking the operating system hm, why is it needed to ask questions to present the user a download choice? Our download webpage today tries to guess the best choice. When the user wants something different, then it's very easy to select something different. The number of choices for the OSs are very clear. The language items are also really clear. And the highest version is the latest. If the presentation or naming is unclear, then we can try to improve it. Or asking somehow different: What is the value add to change the download principle? What is missing today? What could be improved? and if the user chooses "Windows" you could show him directly the additional info that he has to make sure to install a 32 bit Java later ... OK, right, this an be improved. But the work I'm doing these days is not finished yet. So, suggestions are welcome.

Please let me answer like this: I don't know if this is really mandatory, I'm just making a suggestion for improvements, in the sense of the improvements that have been made to the download website in the last few months. All these improvements were basically aimed at one thing: to improve the understanding of technical issues, although it is actually about banal things that a normal user should know without additional help. > Our download webpage today tries to guess the best > choice. When > the user wants something different, then it's very easy to select > something different. > > The number of choices for the OSs are very clear. The > language items are > also really clear. That's exactly what I wrote myself on the de-users list and expressed my lack of understanding that users don't seem to be able to use a website that is as easy to use as a vending machine. Nevertheless, I have to take note that there are such users. > > and if the user chooses "Windows" you could show him > directly the additional info that he has to make sure to > install a 32 bit Java later ... > > OK, right, this an be improved. But the work I'm doing these > days is not > finished yet. So, suggestions are welcome. And my suggestion comes from the observation that the improvements of the last months didn't seem optimal(*), because they required the user to actively do something to get an additional info (either place the mouse over a button to get a tooltip/teaser or actually click on a button to get an info page in a separate window). (*) this is not a criticism, but the observation that here, on the list, it was talked about that the current improvements are only implemented the way they are, because there are technical limitations of the implementation total: my suggestion was only a suggestion. If the opinion of the list tends to be that my suggestion is unnecessary, I have no problem with that. greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Right? Where can I find the others? I can't tell you specific things specifically, because I don't save links to corresponding statements from users. My assessment of the topic comes from the situation that I do 15-20 hours of voluntary support for AOO week after week, primarily in the forum http://de.openoffice.info and on users...@openoffice.apache.org. greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
