[dev] Serious trouble on Extensions site
The Extensions site has and is causing serious trouble. The lesser problem is that many links to it are down (giving Connection reset error), including its Contact Us link; hence the message here. The main site Do more link is down. The big problem is that the site is advertising an update to the English language dictionary, for v3.3 Writer users, via the automatic mechanism for keeping extensions up-to-date. However, what gets downloaded is a Khmer dictionary (as of 2011-05-10) which then appears in the Extension Manager's list. The previous English dictionary disappears from that list, and cannot be found by some other routines (like hyphenation). This could be a serious problem if the statistics are right. The main Extensions site can be reached through the main site Contribute/programming/repository link chain. A search from there on Khmer shows a Khmer dictionary with over 80K downloads. A different Khmer dictionary shows a reasonable 3K downloads. We may have 80K users out there who will have to delete the Khmer dictionary to get rid of its problems. They will not be pleased. Sorry for posting a non-dev problem here, but at least somebody who reads this list should know whose cage to rattle. -- /tj/ T. J.

One thing I love about OpenOffice is that triple clicking on a word highlights the sentence, unlike in microsoft office where the triple click jumps you to the paragraph.

Re: [dev] Changed an extension from .jar to .oxt, now extension gets installed but cannot be used ?

You cannot rename ScriptProviderForooRex.jar to ScriptProviderForooRex.oxt and include a description.xml and META-INF/manifest.xml in that zip. Instead, you need to create a new zip ScriptProviderForooRex.oxt that includes ScriptProviderForooRex.jar, description.xml, and META-INF/manifest.xml. Then, a manifest:full-path=ScriptProviderForooRex.jar should work.

On the page http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/File_Format I added a little description, for a better overview of .oxt files. However, rony's problem relates to deploying old extensions, which might need another sentence in the Note in the lead section. Something like, For an extension previously deployed as a jar, [if that's a proper description] the entire jar should be exported as above. [if that's the proper solution]. (I'm out of my depth here: AFAIK, jars contain peanut butter.

Thanks. Cheers, Wei Min The documentation for a filter should be available as a specification, or possibly in the Developers' Guide, but these are not always easy to find; they may not exist. However, if you can successfully open a particular type of file by hand, through the GUI, then you can find those specific settings easily: look in the file! :-) There are tools - the BASIC IDE is one - for inspecting an open file. If I recall correctly, you need to find the Media Descriptor. It will have the parameter names and value strings, including the filter name, formatted exactly as you should use them. -- /tj/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
[dev] BASIC Variants, VarType(), and arrays
Can I get a little help from someone who knows the code, to confirm my experimental observations? Then I can get the documentation updated, and fix the BASIC code. The VarType function can be used on a variant to return the type of data therein, as documented. However, when the variant contains an array, VarType apparently returns the value x'2000' (decimal 8192) plus the simple type of the array variables, which is not documented. What I'm seeing: If a variant is set with the Array function, VarType returns a 200C (8204) code, indicating type variant, which is more or less useless. If the variant is set to an existing array: Dim ai(2) as Integer : ai(0) = 1 : v = ai() then the VarType returns 2002 (8194), where 2 is the type code for integer. Similarly, explicit string arrays return 2008 (8200). Values like these occur in property sets. This affects the OLH and wiki documentation, and BASIC code on the wiki and in the released macro libraries. I'll update the wiki, and file issues for the rest, once I'm sure what to say. -- /tj/ T.
