Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Cannot Open PDF Landscape Pages Properly When Libreoffice
Going back to clarence's original question ... If you open a pdf in LO, it opens it in Draw. Draw only allows its pages (or slides, as it calls them) to be either landscape or portrait. As it says in Help, Page formatting 'Allows you to define page layouts for single and multiple-page documents'. The key word here is 'documents'. It always was a bit of a fudge to use Draw as a PDF editor because you have to live by Draw's rules, one of which is only having all portrait or all landscape pages. There is already this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64990. There might be someone sympathetic enough to work on it, but as it was created in 2007 and inherited from OOo, I wouldn't be too hopeful of that.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Combining data from 2 spreadsheets
Hi Bashar You probably should be asking questions like this on the users list, or in one of the forums (see http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/) but the general solution to this is to use Insert Link to External Data to link to the second spreadsheet where you must have identified the target data by a data range.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Macro Difficulties
On 7 March 2013 16:43, Charles Jenkins cejw...@gmail.com wrote: This is a story about the usability of LO BASIC and the documentation thereof. And also a plea for help. I'm trying to get LibreOffice to work with SAP Business One (hereafter called B1) in order to eliminate the need to pay for expensive licenses for Microsoft Excel. B1 has a toolbar button that's supposed to generate a spreadsheet for data viewed as a table onscreen. Unfortunately, instead of really creating a spreadsheet, B1 just dumps out a tab-separated text file and then opens a spreadsheet called AutoOpen.xls that in turn loads the text file into a new spreadsheet. This clunky way of doing things has the advantage that there's no worry about file formats. Whatever version of Excel you're running, it can open the text file. This method *could* work in LibreOffice too, but unfortunately the macro command used in AutoOpen.xls doesn't exist in LO BASIC. The command is Workbooks.OpenText I'm not sure if the problem is that OpenText doesn't exist, or if there is no Workbooks object to begin with. The documentation on LO BASIC is so sparse that I can't find anything about opening spreadsheets. The LO help file promises documentation at OpenOffice.org; but clicking that link takes me instead to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/BASIC_Guide, which is a placeholder page containing only a link to another website--which doesn't respond. (By the way, the help file does document an Open command, but that command is used to open simple data files to be processed and closed by the script. It doesn't cause LO to open a document in the UI.) After finding nothing documented, I enabled macro recording, began recording a macro, and used File Open to open the text file/spreadsheet myself. Obviously, I was hoping to then examine the macro to learn what objects and functions LO uses to open files. But opening a new file causes macro recording to end without a comment, warning, or error…and without saving anything of the macro in progress. Can anyone give me clues to creating a macro which can open a spreadsheet?

On 08/12/2012 12:26 PM, Florian Effenberger wrote: Hello, this is to inform you that the reply settings on this list have changed (so-called Reply to mangling has been disabled). So far, e-mails had set a reply-to the mailing list address. In other words, with any e-mail client, replies to e-mails on the list were automatically sent directly to the list. In the past, this lead to two major problems: 1. Several times, people have sent direct replies to the public list, where deleting them is nearly impossible. I remember at least one case where confidential information has been sent out that caused lots of worries for the sender and his employer. This happened because people hit reply and thought it would reply to the sender only. 2. I have heard complaints in the past from people, stating that working with the non-developer lists of LibreOffice is a pain for them, because of reply-to mangling, resulting in a lack of communication. This also led to the fact that numerous tasks were done by the same people, who needed to spend more and more time, instead of sharing the work burden with others. While I do not fully believe this argument, there's just one way to find out... Therefore, I have applied a change: Replies to e-mails from the list now only go to the original sender. You either need to use the reply to all feature of your e-mail program, or - preferably - the reply to list/reply to group feature, which will direct replies directly to the list. This is common practice on most mailing lists, and even the default setting for our mailing list software, so we did not re-invent the wheel here. Those seeking for details should have a look at http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html I know we had numerous discussions on this topic in the past, but the outcome was that roughly 50% were for this change, and 50% refused it, so I am really sitting between two chairs here, for which I beg for your understanding. On the one hand, those complaining the lists are unusable with reply-to mangling, on the other hand, those complaining the lists are unusable without reply-to mangling. Unfortunately, combining those two, even on a per-recipient basis, is not possible, so they are mutually exclusive to each other. In order to find out the real impact, I simply changed the setting, and again, I beg for your understanding. Do not worry: The mailing lists are for the community, so it's the community deciding how they should work. What I'd like to ask all of you is to try out for a few days if that change is good for each list or not. Should we find out it is more harmful than it helps, I will immediately switch back to the old behaviour.

These will not interfere wihth your existing LO install(s) will create a profile as ~/.config/lodev/3/user. Now create a menu or desktop launcher to: /opt/lodev3.5/program/soffice and off you go. Thanks very much for your help on this. LibO-Dev is successfully installed and I have tested for the bug I've been following (no surprise that it is still there). Cor has put a comment on the website to reassure that this installation does not interfere with the current stable version, but I still think I would have been in difficulties without your help.

Until I checked it out just now, I didn't realise that the Save icon used in the Ubuntu version of LO is actually a broad green downward arrow on top of a representation of a Hard drive. Now, I have had no problems saving documents, so I imagine that things like the position of the icon (next to the Open File icon) and the tool tip are all part of identifying the Save icon. When I looked at the floppy disk icon on my wife's Win 7 version, I realise how old fashioned it looks. Tony That is because you have your icon style set to 'Human'. Ubuntu includes openoffice.org-style-human and libreoffice-style-human in their repositories. If LO provided the same set the default to 'Human' the save icon would be the same (disk drive with a down arrow). Correction: libreoffice-style-humanity See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/757304 Thanks for the explanation of why Ubuntu is different. The point I am making is that an old fashioned floppy disk is not the only icon used for Save and the world will not come to an end if some other appropriate, and more modern, icon is used in its place. Having said that, a hard drive may be old fashioned in a few years time when SSDs become the norm.

I imagine, that if the user finally got to the point of filling out a bug, that, perhaps, there would be an automatic forced search of any similar bug(s) having been submitted? I know that the hardest part of filing a bug on any project is the initial search for similar bugs/complaints. Once the search completed then it is all pretty easy to complete aside from giving a good description and a way to replicate the bug. Nice whiteboard on automating the process. Cheers, Marc Maybe someone have the time to dig into the KDE KCrash Handler source and check out these features there? Christoph's design is great. I like, particularly, the clear distinction between reporting a bug and offering an idea or suggestion. The point I do want to raise is how the bug/problem reporting functionality will work with an OS like Ubuntu that already has its own bug reporting procedures. Many apps there have a Help Report a Problem option which calls Ubuntu's own bug reporting package (apport) to collect system information and then connect to the Launchpad bug reporting web page. Launchpad looks for possible duplicates and has quite extensive links to synchronise with upstream bug reporting. Here is an example of a bug I reported. https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/433563 Currently, with no functionality built in to LibreOffice, this would be reported from the command line (ubuntu-bug libreoffice). As you can see, it is linked to both the LO and OOo upstream bug trackers.

Re: [tdf-discuss] automatic update for links

I need to have the following feature ( include in Excel, but not yet in LibreOffice for now ) I work mainly with links between several files.

I don't really like DDE links, to heavy to use. ( In one file, I have more than 10.000 links, so I need very reactive links modules ). Could you let me know if you intend to improve these features in the future ? Or maybe give a solution. This problem is the only show stopper bug to implement LibreOffice. In advance, thank you for you answer.
