Automatically section update with java
Hello , I have a odt document where I inserted 2 sections from other documents. Changing these sections requires an update in the enclosing document when using Libre Office or OpenOffice (popup is asking me). Does anybody know where and how the "update"-button from LibreOffice (OpenOffice) is implemented, so that we might reused this functionality programmatically? I want this document to be updated automatically using some java-code now. Is there some functionality inside the ODFToolkit or s.th. like that? Doing it "by hand" using the ODFToolkit is complicated because I have to merge most of the xml-files (e.g. styles, ..) of these odt documents. Has anybody experience with such updates? Is there any information or java snipplet how to effort this? Thanks for any help, kind regards Toygun ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

GSoC & error during make
Hello everyone! I'm Mariana Mărășoiu from Romania and I am a second-year student at "Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Automatic Controls and Computers Faculty.

RE: using Windows in VM
For QA purposes, Windows on a VM works well for me, even on a native Windows system. I don't need to be able to build the product in a VM. The VM lets me run and test beta level software in VMs without touching my production systems and I can do a lot of user-level testing, troubleshooting, and bug confirmation. It is easy to capture screen shots of (portions of) the VM displays for documentation and issue-reporting also. I can also access a lot of material via sharing folders and drives from the host to the guest system, making it easy to transfer files around to verify interchange or import/export problems. I do have enough Windows licenses to keep several of those VMs erected. I wouldn't consider attempting development and building projects as big as LO that way. One opportunity for such simple QA is the Windows 8 Community Preview, which seems to run in VirtualBox just fine. It is a way to see what happens with installs of OpenOffice-lineage software for Windows and to anticipate any adjustments that will be appropriate for future releases of OOo-lineage software. There is no need to purchase licenses for the CP release and multiple installs are allowed. An even easier case for VM use is installing varieties of Unix and Linux that run on x64/x86. The license situation is much easier for those open-source/free distributions. I'm becoming fond of Zorin OS for that purpose, although FreeBSD and OpenBSD are good ones for some of my needs as well. I find that VirtualBox is the ideal VM for this variety of cases. - Dennis A case that nags me a bit more is needing to make sure I have retained older development tools that will still work when impending Windows SDK and Visual Studio versions will no longer support construction for Windows XP and earlier. I may eventually need VMs to run those as well. That's obviously not going to work for complex builds such as LO and Apache OO. -Original Message- From: libreoffice-bounces+dennis.hamilton=acm@lists.freedesktop.org [mailto:libreoffice-bounces+dennis.hamilton=acm@lists.freedesktop.org] On Behalf Of Bjoern Michaelsen Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 04:05 To: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: Re: using Windows in VM Hi, On Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 11:30:08AM +0100, Cor Nouws wrote: > I have the idea that it might be useful to consider encouraging devs > on Linux to use Windows in a VM. > I know that some of the devs are actively using Windows build > environments, but also that others haven't even a running Win OS to > check certain issues. > Setting up a VM is not a big deal, and if needed the Board could > step in paying for licences. > It would make checking / communicating on certain issues much > easier.

While that is all true, I wonder if it really hits the core of the problem. A developer would usually want to go fixing the bug and for that he would not only need a LibreOffice install, but instead a whole development environment to make debug build of effected libraries etc. And even with such a setup the build times are much longer and the deployment is much more clumsy than on Windows. It would only be worth it if we not only have licenses, but a ready-to-use VM image with a complete windows build environment. That might also help to get traction with Windows developers new to the project. However, it is also a lot of work -- not only to create it, but also to keep it up to date. Getting the resources for that task (setting up a image with a complete build env) is the tough one here IMHO.

[PATCH] fix for fdp#44832, correctly display axis labels for complex categories
Hey,
the attached patch together with [1] fixes the remaining problems when
you try to edit the chart in the document attached to fdo#44832. [1]
was an obvious fix while the attached patch is not obvious and I'm not
sure that it will not introduce another regression. I don't fully
understand why we need to add special handling for labels of second
and following categories.
Maybe someone here has an idea about the code, otherwise I would push
it to master and wait for people to test it carefully in 3-6.
Regards,
Markus

Hi!
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33043
I added a new button to Start Center. It exits LibreOffice. I used the attached
picture for testing, I'm not a designer :)
For testing (or if someone makes a new image if this gets pushed) put the
attached image (or the final image) called application_exit.png into:
icon-themes/galaxy/framework/res
icon-themes/human/framework/res
icon-themes/tango/framework/res
and 'make' the appropriate modules (I did a 'make debug=true' in root (core)
because i don't know which specific modules I had to rebuild).

[REVIEW] fix for fdo#46885, crash with empty data range when creating charts
Hey, [1] fixes a crash when you try to create a chart and have an empty data range selected. This is a regression between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 introduced by another fix for crashes in calc charts. The fix is extremely safe it just checks that the uno interface is not empty.

make version on Windows, cygpath problems, ..
Hi all, I was once curious why 386161779b55755f145106cd53c5df80967e1c3b was necessary, so I tried to install more versions of make and indeed make 3.81 does not like mixed paths (cygpath -m) and needs unix paths in make's rules. Because of this there are many problems, we need gb_Helper_convert_native and similar things. We already check for our patched make and print warning [1], so I am wondering, could we force people to use it ? It's broken for make 3.81 since a75873dea15719b5216cfd0476d30003ffc76e80 anyway and nobody is complaining so far (but it's +- only a week). I am optimistic and I think by forcing people to use make 3.82 on cygwin, we could remove solenv/gbuild/BuildDirs.mk and use ~only mixed paths. There still will be problems (realpath is producing unix path, some programs need unix paths [2], ..) but hopefully it will be better. Do you think it's worth a try ?

"StarONE" ?
If you do an opengrok "full" search for "starone", you will find a bunch of comments mainly. At first I thought "StarONE" was some abandoned StarDivision product that StarOffice used to interface to, and that these comments were indicators of code snippets that aren't needed. But apparently it was simply the name for the StarOffice SDK or something like that? So presumably we could add a (very) Easy Hack to change these comments to simpy say "the SDK" instead? --tml ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

I've tried a couple of time, without success, to get a build running on Windows. The instructions are, to say the least, not clear. there is always a piece missing or not where it wants it... and it takes minutes at the beginning (when the failure is in autogen) and hours later to find the brokage... and then it is usually a mystery (to me) what the problem is and how to fix it. This Week-end I tried to through a big virtual box at the problem: 24 core, 32GB under kvm (on a host that has 48 core/96GB ram) the kvm process has consumed 4332 minutes-cpu so far... (yeah, not a typo: 3cpu-day) and tail_build is in writerfilter so I reduced the box to 4 process 4 GB... and it run... faster... well... less slow. and after hours and hours I get 'dxsdkver.h No such file or directory ... so apparently the directx sdk was not found... and only now do i get an error ? anyway... just taking the occasion to vent a bit...

Re: [UX advise] Key navigation in ValueSet controls
Hi Astron, On 03/03/2012 04:07 PM, Stefan Knorr (Astron) wrote: Hi Matteo, so, took me a while to find the courage to read that :) But good observations these are. Yeah, I was quite afraid of the length of my email :) Thanks for reading it all! Anyway, ... Is this behavior the expected/commonly accepted one? I would like to propose: * left/right motion should not wrap around from first to last (or last to first) item. Moving through lines is fine (behavior similar to moving through text), although we can also just stay on the same line and stop at its borders. Makes sense to me. Although, of course the decision depends on whether we want to make it fast to go to an arbitrary position without much exactitude or whether we want to make it fast to go to the exact start/end. Your proposal seemingly aims for goal #2. Well, in this case my goal is to let the user see the content of not-full rows without explicitly looking for it, and to move rapidly from an item to another without too much corrections. * up/down should not wrap around. If pressing up on a middle column of the first line, then it moves to the first item. If pressing down, it should move to the column below if present, to the last item otherwise. From my Western perspective that does make sense. However, I fear, such behaviour might be unexpected in some cultures (that use top-to-bottom scripts). Any experts? Good catch. Also speaking from a Western perspective, I find it somewhat confusing to be brought at the opposite side of the one I was moving to (and columns can be long and involve scrolling, while rows don't scroll). My point is that currently left/right let you navigate through all the items, while up/down keys can leave a row "hidden". * page up/down should mimic the behaviour of up/down keys: move in the same column when possible (even if the distance is less than a page) and, when pressed again and no motion in the current column is possible, reach the first/last element. I don't know if disabling navigation when key-modifiers are pressed makes sense. Makes sense. I guess, modifiers should be allowed (but not modify anything), in all cases where that's possible without unintended consequences. I don't know the original goals of that features: currently it seems to me that if you use modifiers than nothing happens. * If "none" item is present, then it could be accessed only from the first item by pressing any of left/up (also page up/home ?) keys. When selected, it can be exited only by pressing right/down (also page down/end?) keys, but always lead to the first item. Makes sense. I'm less sure of this, now. If a wrap around for up/down is desired, the current behavior of always passing through the "none" item probably makes more sense. Unless we find a dedicated key to select that item, which could solve the situation. Any idea? * Return key behavior: at least it should not close the color configuration window, but my guess is that's a misconfiguration of the specific instance of ValueSet. Not entirely sure about this one, although probably most people would want to use Return and Tab the same way (i. e. to get to the next widget and select a colour). Wow. Too many things I didn't consider! Honestly, my plans were to simplify code and provide a more consistent behavior than the current one, that I find somehow confusing. I guess we should wait for some hints on the desired up/down behavior and then see how to proceed (if there's need to). Thanks for your thoughts!

While that is all true, I wonder if it really hits the core of the problem. A developer would usually want to go fixing the bug and for that he would not only need a LibreOffice install, but instead a whole development environment to make debug build of effected libraries etc. And even with such a setup the build times are much longer and the deployment is much more clumsy than on Windows. It would only be worth it if we not only have licenses, but a ready-to-use VM image with a complete windows build environment. That might also help to get traction with Windows developers new to the project. However, it is also a lot of work -- not only to create it, but also to keep it up to date. Getting the resources for that task (setting up a image with a complete build env) is the tough one here IMHO.
