1.12.2 now includes a gsf-office-thumbnailer helper application which
appears to use GConf, so it looks intentional to me.

HTH,

Re: Gnumeric 1.5.3 Released

2005-08-17 Thread Morten Welinder
It turns out that there is an ugly, but harmless, error message on saving
to xls in 1.5.3.  You will want to apply the following fix.

Re: missing "help"

2005-08-17 Thread Prof J C Nash
Having persuaded a friend to start using Gnumeric on her first Linux PC, 
I am embarassed that she points out that the Help functionality is not 
present. I don't have her version of Libranet distro (a Debian variant), 
but my own Xandros 3.0.2 let 1.4.2 be installed via apt and it also says 
it cannot find the "specified file" when I ask for help contents.


I am willing to help find and document this bug, but could use some 
pointers as to the "usual" place to find the help file. If it turns out 
to simply be mis-located, perhaps we can get someone who knows "deb" 
packages to assist in fixing.

In debian, the documentation is packaged separately in gnumeric-doc
Chances are that libranet also packages it separately. Did you and your
friend really installed the documentation. (The correct location of
those files may be distribution specific.)

Just in case anyone cares - I'd really like that to be "fixed" - at least one 
of us uses the thing without Gnome proper, and there is a lot of gnome beneath 
the GConf tree.
