[tdf-discuss] Wanted: Libreoffice php-based document management server
Hello, Nice work on LibreOffice 4, however, if I'm being greedy, I would also like a LibreOffice, php-based, document management server. I'm no php guru, but I'm a lot more comfortable with a php-based solution than a java-based solution. Hopefully more of the php-based CMS will begin offering CMIS plugins for documeant management, but I think a LibreOffice solution, A-to-Z (shared calendar), would be better. At the very least, the foundation should adopt an existing php-based CMS and push a CMIS document management plugin, or you can add a LibreOffice gpg extension, partner-up and create a AbiCollab.net-type solution which could generate revenue from users that sign up for Pro accounts via LibreOffice.org At any rate, commercial open source is open source backwards. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

That said USB will be the most common storage media soon enough. Who saves to CDs at work? I don't think the icon is a big deal, the whole interface is dated, I pitched a Firefox addon-like interface a while back, but I'm still ahead of my time on that. Rather than reinventing the wheel, update the saveicon with a stock USB icon: a vertical USB icon, it looks like a human carrying stuff and you have the integrated download arrow, and it is a recognized symbol on cameras, phones, TVs, etc. http://imagebin.org/190980 -- GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom).

[tdf-discuss] The Microsoft Word 2007 XML(*.docx) format does not correctly save numbering edits.
LibreOffice 3.4.0 OOO340m1 (Build:12) I've tried this repeatedly, when I generate lines of text, number them (F12), delete every other line number, save in Microsoft Word 2007 XML (*.docx) format the results are always the same when viewed in MS Word 2007: the numbered lines with deleted numbers are no longer indented. However, the Open Office XML Text (*.docx) format does correctly save the file and appears as expected when viewed in MS Word 2007. Below are area screenshots of both formats viewed in MS Word 2007. http://imagebin.org/170701 http://imagebin.org/170702 -- GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom).

Re: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice UI should be tweaked, not reinvented
Hello, I don't think Microsoft's Ribbon is that big a deal either way. You can effectively cover Microsoft Word 2007 training in about a 70-page booklet and a 20-page project/tutorial style booklet---the same for Microsoft Excel. In fact, the only problem I have with the ribbon is that it isn't that customizable. I agree with the argument that Libreffice needs to jazz up the interface a bit, but I like a clean---no gimmicks---toolbar and shortcut keys (some of which could be more intuitive). The main problem with any application's shortcut keys is that they don't make sense, in relation to work flow. And customizable short-cut keys are overwhelming to new comers (The default shortcuts aren't intuitive out of the box; I could screw it up even worse.); I have noticed that a lot of people are afraid they will 'break' their software. I think a great solution to the GUI debate would be to take a page from the Mozilla Foundation: resign the toolbar as an 'addon'. This would separate LibreOffice from the rest of the pack: innovate, yet stay the same---allow users to evolve at their own pace; as their skills increase, so will their need for more sophisticated toolbars. LibreOffice could also design task/profession toolbars or flavor them by geographical regions. The first two toolbars should be a Libre-polished 'classic' toolbar and a 'ribbon' clone. The eye candy should be left and right arrows on either side of the toolbar that causes the toolbar to slide in either direction. Users can organize their toolbars, in a toolbar addons window, in drag-and-drop fashion. Anyone can design and share their idea of what a toolbar should be with the community via the toolbar addon page. This will be very appealing to companies that aren't really interested in adopting Microsoft's ribbon---they're IT can even customize the toolbar for their work flow/image needs. (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9194398/IT_pros_still_spooked_by_Office_s_ribbon_interface?source=rss_news) Also, how about modularizing the suite altogether, I only use LibreOffice, but I have to download a 300Mb file and tie-up valuable hard drive space with the rest of the suite. That's on top of Microsoft Office's (a necessary evil, so I don't get rusty) hard drive demands. Well, that's my two bits. -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
