[Call for Test] [OOXML] Enhancement for table style in docx is ready for test

[bjcheny]

Hi,

Enhancement is already done for table style from docx, and committed
in revision
1377430  .
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120576
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120578

Its description in wiki is listed as below:

Would somebody be so kind to help test it when build gets ready?
Any bugs/issues would be welcomed by bringing up bugs in bz or sending out

It would be great helpful for you to correct/add more into wiki above.

bjcheny - Do you mean trigger a test during a build? I assume most existing
test cases require full build(without test component) to complete. Thus, I
guess it makes sense to start pre-selected test after full build by adding
some option.

[Discussion] [OOXML] Shall we keep all cellStyles from xlsx or not

[bjcheny]

Hi guys,

I am fixing bug 120619, which is about Aoo takes too long time to open xlsx
file.
The root cause is that sample file has up to 28380 cellStyles/cellStyleXfs,
though nearly no reference to them at all.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120619

A question came up when I tried to figure out a solution:
Shall we set a limitation here?
When we export xls file by Aoo, there is a limitation of 4050. It seems
reasonable because MS 2003 Excel can't support too many cellStyles.
It can be proved by indication provided by MS 2007 Excel when you save
sample xslx as xls, as attached pic.

Thus, I really need your opinions. Or can there be a better solution?

Regards

Hi,

I get XENA's help page as below link, and it's using LibOffice as a plugin,
not AOO.
http://xena.sourceforge.net/help.php?page=setoffice.html

The external tool for converting office documents to Open Document Format

[Enhancement][OOXML]Table Style is incomplete when importing table in MS Word 2007/2010

[bjcheny]

Hi,

I'm studying the Table Style in MS Word 2007/2010, and find AOO has some
issues here.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120576
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120578

The issues are on the background color and text properties in table, which
are all from Table Style in OOXML.
I plan to do some enhancement in table style, since AOO already gets many
useful functions here.
I already post some investigation results on the background color as below
wiki:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Table_Style_in_Writerfilter

Your comments are appreciated a lot!

Re: Correct SVN practices (was Re: Fix for bug 119161)

[bjcheny]

Hi all,

I also finished my changes, mainly including
1. Add svn changelist to organize logical code changes, and other
subcommands which have changelist option, like di/ci.
2. Add svn patch for committer.
--- only available for svn 1.7. Wonder list it or not?
3. Add svn revert to discard your local changes.
4. Update some commands' scenario, like using svn di to create patch from
local changes.

Would you please help review/correct it?

Congratulations!
Btw, I already try it days ago when I need to upgrade svn to 1.7 on MacOS

There I met some issue when building using serf-1.1.0.zip. I will confirm

Hi Eric,

I'd like to offer some tips on "svn changelist".
Let me know your comments.
Currently, I see no side-effect on using this feature during fixing bugs.

Re: Turkish Translation

[bjcheny]

hi Fatih,
Many thanks for your joining mailing list and affording your help!
Please refer to Juergen's suggestions below.

hi Juergen
Sorry for stealing your mail here and deleting some info..
Let me know if I misunderstand anything.

btw, is there any special mailing list for translation since guys
interested in translation are so easily flushed by a lot of other mails..

Regards
-- Forwarded message --
From: Jürgen Schmidt 
Date: 2012/6/1
Subject: Re: [Request] Korean language pack and id for pootle server
To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org

first of all thanks for joining the mailing list and offering your help.

If you are able to work offline directly on the po files, I can send you
the files via email. And when you have finished the work you can send
the files back to me.

Or you can make suggestion as unknown on pootle and inform me when you
have finished the work. A committer have to review your changes and can
accept them.

I know it is not very convenient but the only possibility we have right now.

But I am trying to work with volunteers to establish them as soon as
possible in the project.

When you are interested to get deeper involved in the project over time
you might think about sending the iCLA back to Apache. More information
about the iCLA and the reason why it is important for us here at Apache
can find here http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas

iCLA can be found here http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

Please let me know which way you prefer and I will send you the po files
asap.

I am working also on preparing some basic information how new
translators can start...

Thanks again

Juergen

Hi,
I hope you can have draft which reflects suggestions so far.
I am too lazy to go through all previous mails to figure out what it looks

Ps, I just go through previous mails.
Shall uses' expectation/suggestion be added to this list?

- Easy to use
- Better Development Guide/Experience through UNO API (so on)

Thanks a lot for your great work/effort for it!

Re: AOO 3.4 FAQ's (was: Re: The reason I removed the program called Open Office 3.4)

[bjcheny]

My question fyi:
1) Any requirement for OS/software/hardware before installation of Aoo 3.4?
If java is necessary/unnecessary for Windows/Linux/Mac, then list it and
our recommendation.
If no 64 bit Aoo for windows, shall we list all platforms we support/don't
support?
2) I wonder if differences/new features between 3.4 and previous one should
be included?

Seems to be a long list from my view.
Or some may be put to release notes and we give a link inf FAQ? No idea.

Friendly Web www.OOoNinja.com

[bjcheny]

Hi,

When I go through some links from Office OpenXML, I find this:
http://www.oooninja.com/
It's aimed to bring news/tips/howtos for openoffice.org. And it was ever
maintained by  Andrew Ziem  (
az...@openoffice.org).
I guess it's close with our community, and is there any story? Maybe we can
take it back, and post our news/articles there.

There is also a similar one, GullFOSS
article,
which is already gone.
I wonder if there are more similar friendly webs ever which are getting
unknown to us, and we may need to take care of them, or do something.
Just a suggestion. :-)

Regards,
Chen Ying

Re: New wiki document about WordprocessingML related

[bjcheny]

Thanks for your sharing on WordingprocessingML.
I think you may add the tags for category as "Filter | Office Open XML |
WordingprocessingML".
Will look through content later.

Re: Ooo for Win XP, type ahead feature

[bjcheny]

Hi Luciano,

I assume you mean word completion, like when you type word in google search
box.
I test on my Win Xp with openoffice 3.4.0(rev 1327774).
It works well. I type "comprehension" in writer, then start a new line, and
type "com", then I get left chars.

Please provide more info.

Re: how to install Apache OpenOffice 3.4 in headless server

[bjcheny]

Hi,

I guess it may still require graphics stuff like "X11"?
I just search through openoffice's website with "headless" and seem to get
some info helpful.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Log_Mac_Meeting_November_21st_2007

[2007-11-21 14:56:06]  ericb2: on the non X11 platforms no
window will be opened, but the graphics system of the platform is of
course still used.
[2007-11-21 14:56:26]  ericb2: on X11 the headless plugin
removes the need for that, too.

I think it's unnecessary to require graphics things once you only ask for
headless mode from openoffice.
