LibO 4.2.0.0 - Configuration page
Hey there, I just play a little with the upcomming Version 4.2.0.0. Nice feature - this configuration window :) But - please - make this activation button under tools - options - Libo - Advanced -> "Expert Config page" configurable with config-files (*.xcd files, stored in programm-installation - share/registry). "configurable" means, that it must be possible to hide or to disable this button and that feature! Reason: This is a killing feature for using LibreOffice in bigger organisations. Those Organisations do have own policies and there is no interest, that every user can change features and options by himself. For example: update, securitity, pathes and so on.

Yes, I found a way :) It is the way you discribe below, just to remove the whole option-page. That will work in most cases. Aditional - the information that Kendy has added a config item, is very helpful :) I guess, this will solve the problems. So - at the moment I am collecting all those infos and bring them to an Tiddy-Wiki - which I will then published on our Wiki-sides. First step will be in German - second in english :) Thanks for your help and best regards Thomas > Searching the code I found this: > http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/configmgr/source/winreg.cxx [..] -- ## Unterstützung der freien Office Suite ## http://de.libreOffice.org - www.LibreOffice.org ## Vorstand Freies Office Deutschland e.V. ## Mitglieder willkommen: www.FroDeV.org ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Vendors Name via UNO API / Basic Macros
Hey all, I am looking for an easy way to find out, which product (LibO or AOO) is installed and currently activ via Basic Macros. Because in LO 4.1 we have some API-changes, macros should now have a version-switch. There are different methods to get the internal version-number - that is not a problem. But: The version number itself is not suffcient because AOO 4.1.0 will start soon and this version-number is identical to LO 4.1.0. So macros must have additional a vendor-switch. Do somebody have an easy access hint to vendor-name? There should be a possibility in configuration-data, but I do not know where?

Every custom macro application with dialogs or forms for user interfaces is influenced if dialogs/forms using Date/time fields. And typicly most of them (in my applications about 70%) used those fields. So all applications will crash using LO 4.1.1.2 or upper. So in my opinion nobody who make this decision has a closer market view. >> Do somebody have an easy access hint to vendor-name? >> >> There should be a possibility in configuration-data, but I do not know >> where? > > searching for PRODUCTNAME finds this: > > http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu#22 > > org.openoffice.Setup.Product.ooName Thanks for this - I know the xcu files. But this is not an easy access for (Basic-) macros. The way to do is: Search for this file, parse this file and extract the vendor name... for basic marcos a very long way. I can find a solution - but I think about all those macro-programmers out in the market: Do you really think, this is a real solution?

Re: Vendors Name via UNO API / Basic Macros
Hi Miklos,
yes, thanks, that might be a practible way at this time.
Nevertheless - it is not a solution for the future.
I guess, there should be an implementation of the original product name,
version-number (major and minor) and actuall product name.
This should be easy accessible even for unexpierienced macro developers.
I will do a feature request or this :)
best regards
Thomas

Question to code-insider: maximum numbers
Hey all, I do have a customer, who like to know some special borders for an evuluation study. Unfortunatly I cannot give him an exact answer. So - maybe someone can help me? Question Calc (spreadsheet): How many datapoints can be access for charts? Means: How many lines can be maximum used for one chart? Is there a physical border (maximum number?). As I remember, Excel 2003 or 2007 has a maximum number of 3200 datapoints. Question Impress (presentation): What is the maximum number of presentation-pages? Don't worry about file-size, but is there a physical maximum number? Thank you for your answers.

Pre-Configuration LibO
Hey all, I tried to build an xcd-file to change some presettings in LibO. Unfortunatly it doesn´t work. Maybe someone can give me some hints? 1. I wont to enable the experimental sidebar per default. All xcd-files are UTF8 and LF coded, places in share/registry My first approch: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";> true Doesn´t work. Next approch: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";> false false false true false false false true 2 auto 1 true false (thats all the datas, which will be changes in the registrymodification.xcu, if I do the change manually) Doesn´t work. 2. Later I tried to change the CLT-Mode and activating support for asian language - unfortunatly same result. 3. When I change the default font the following code works: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry";> Arial So, what is going wrong in Nr. 1 and 2? Any hints?

Re: Pre-Configuration LibO
Hey Niklas, Yes, your file works fine :-) Thank you for your help. So, I think, my path was wrong. I tried to extract the path out of this line: true (Part of the registrymodification.xcu) so I belief, I did some mistake. Thanks again.

Re: modification of print dialog
Hey Alex, yes, that's easy :) Just write a small macro to check if the actual document has a URL and if, check the flag isModified(). If this flag is true or the Document do not have an url you do have unsaved changes - so you can act with a own dialog. Otherwise call uno:print - that is the same as using the print-button or the menu: file - print. Then - create an extension out of your code, create an addon.xcu file which replace the existing commands (file - print and print-Button) with your marco. Define the moduls were it should work (i.E. Writer, Calc). Install your extension - ready :) Now - when the user klick on the print-button, your macro will check the document and react as you want.

Some information about LibO on actual hardware
Hey all, in actual business cases more and more people are using tablets and small and light computers (convertibals, ultrabooks). And because we will be on CeBIT and CeBIT is a business exhibition, I want to be sure, that LibO will work with actual hardware. So I bought a Lenovo Yoga2 13" Ideapad and give LibO a chance ;) Actual Hardware, Intel I5, Windows 8.1, SSD, 8 GB RAM, Display: 3200*1800px Here are my first impressions: First of all the good news: LibO (I used version 4.2.1) can be installed without any problems :) The first start works ok and the new Startcenter looks good and fits to the display resolution. Icons and fonts are big enough and easy to read. Then I start a first applicatin (Text-Document). It opens, but was nearly unusable - really small fonts, Icons looks like a "fly-dirt" and you need a strong magnifying-glass to know, what it is... So I change the options, select 120% Font, big Icons - and try again. Now it is a little bit better, Fonts, Menus etc are readable, size is small, but ok. Only all the Icons are still very, very small and do not fit to fonts and text. So the surface does not look homogeneous. But I could work with libreOffice. Then I turn on the side-bar. Fonts are here stronger then expected and looks a little bit to "fat". Icons are still to small. Because some information were hide on the right side of the sidebar, I tried to expand the sidebar a little bit to the left - this was the dead of LibO. Just saw a "flattern" of the left border of the sidebar stepping forward/backwards in milliseconds - nothing reacts any more and only the taskmanager could kill the process. OK, I am not sure, if ths is a special problem of the version 4.2.1 or if it is problem of the high resulution desktop - but it is a failure! I tried all moduls and (without using the sidebar) I did not find differences to typical desktops, so I guess, it will work on those hardware. I have done some screenshots - but using normal displays they all looks very big and ok - so you cannot get a feeling in real ;) We will have this maschine on CeBIT and all who visit us can have an own look - that might be more helpful. That´s what I want to share with you best regards Thomas -- ## Unterstützung der freien Office Suite ## http://de.libreOffice.org - www.LibreOffice.org ## Vorstand Freies Office Deutschland e.V. ## Mitglieder willkommen: www.FroDeV.org ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Question about version
Hey all, for the upcoming event CeBIT 2014 I am now preparing the demo-maschines. Actual I can find the Version 4.2.1 - is this the last and newest version for the next two weeks? Or is there a plan to release a 4.2.2 Version next week?
