Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice in freeBSD?
Hi :) It 'should' work but the last person to ask had some odd error messages when he/she compiled LibreOffice from source. Things like no icecream and about 12 very geeky lines that looked like they might be fixable. http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ Bsd is a unix-based platform and does share a lot of similarities with linux so it should be fairly easy to port to Bsd even if it doesn't work already. We asked the previous person to contact the developer's list and they might have more time to help with this now as things were a bit hectic just before release. http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice Please let us know how this goes!

Re: [libreoffice-users] libre office in repositories
Hi :) Errr, LibreOffice is only in the 11.04 repos at the moment. It will (hopefully) get back-ported to the 10.04 LTS 'soon'. Typically that is the way Ubuntu handles their repos.

Re: Fw: [libreoffice-users] libre office in repositories
I just download LibreOffice directly and then use the terminal commands to install it. It will be nice when LibreO is in the repositories for Linux distros, but it will be a few months till then. Sometimes it can be a problem working with PPAs, while other find it easier than using the terminal commands to install a package.

If there is no official repository what to do with this file? Where to find it? Is there any resolving of this problem?

Re: official channel for submitting feature suggestions ?? (was Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Welcome to users@libreoffice.org)
Great. Thanks for the reply. Other opensource projects I've connected with have used a combination of bug tracking (something like Mantis) and feature suggestion apps online to facilitate the development collaboration process. Does LO have something like that in place? Might be a good idea. I can't quite imagine managing a worldwide team of opensource developers without some kind of developed system online.

[libreoffice-users] Feature Suggestion
Having played with a long and highly structured document on LibO for the last few days… the following is a feature I'd like to suggest… for what it is worth. Currently the styles sidebar/window lists the styles in plain text. Both MS Word and Apple Pages (the other two word processors I have on hand) display the styles in their actual format. It makes it much easier to work with styles, because without this visual cue one has to use rather long styles names to make it clear what the style is. This applies especially to long documents that require a wide variety of styles. The only other thought that comes to mind is that a bit of polish on the various icons throughout would give it much greater visual appeal, I think. I've been using Open Office for about 4 years now and it still looks the same as it did when I first started using it. Obviously this has no impact on functionality, yet I do think that many people are drawn to use apps with visual appeal, over one that lacks it. I suspect in the minds of many people, there is also an association between an application looking current (as opposed to outdated) and them getting the impression an application is likely to be up-to-date with regards to features and technology. So in terms of increasing the popularity I think modernising the bling on the icons, etc., would positively impact migration to LibreOffice. Right now Word 2011 for Mac, and Pages 09 for mac make LibreOffice look like its an application from the 90's. I mean no disrespect by this, as actually I find the feature-set/functionality of LibreOffice to be ahead of these commercial apps in many ways… which is why I have stuck with it (and its predecessors) for some years now.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Set libreoffice file associations
Hi :) Yes, it is very much the same in Windows except that when you right-click on an appropriate file you usually have to choose Properties from the bottom of the right-click menu before you get to see the Open With ... It depends on which release tho. Xp works that way i think but Vista the option is there straight-away i think. Windows likes to hide file-endings (such as sxw or .doc or whatever) but you can force it to show them. Open any folder. The window that contains the folders, files on the right and possibly has a split-off section on the left showing places or the explorer-tree is called a File browser. This has a menu-bar at the top. Choose Tools - Options then, in the pop-up, scroll down until you see hide file extensions of well known file types or something like that. UNtick it and then click the Apply or Ok button.

I can't answer about Win, since I use it at work only and I don't recall trying to associate files with programs in Win. But in Linux using gnome / nautilus it's pretty easy. Just open your home folder and find a file of the type you want to associate to LibO (such as an odt file in Documents folder), then right click on it and select the option to 'Open With' and it will have a default option but you can select 'Open with other application' and then it should give you a list of alternatives. There should also be a checkmark in that selection area for 'Remember this application for (similar) files. If that is selected, it should now make LibO Write the default for files of that type. Then do the same for csv or other types of files. There may be another way to do it, but that's what I use if I want to use something other than or change the default for a particular file type.

Re: official channel for submitting feature suggestions ?? (was Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Welcome to users@libreoffice.org)
Hi :) Yes, agreed. I think the developers already had their own bug-tracking system in place pretty fast using bugzilla. Feature suggestions or brainstorming is being discussed by the website group i think https://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/web-administrators/ I can pass this one on easily as i have signed up to their list already. It's not as scary as the link makes it sound.

(was Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Welcome to users@libreoffice.org) Great. Thanks for the reply. Other opensource projects I've connected with have used a combination of bug tracking (something like Mantis) and feature suggestion apps online to facilitate the development collaboration process. Does LO have something like that in place? Might be a good idea. I can't quite imagine managing a worldwide team of opensource developers without some kind of developed system online. I'll post the suggestion to this list and see what becomes of it. I am not a software developer myself, so I am going to be much help with that.

Anyway, it is a good idea and is being worked on already! Until then Cor's advice is best. Just post to this list and see how it goes. We might be able to point you to a more relevant list depending on what the idea is.

Re: [libreoffice-users] BASIC Runtime Error. Object Variable not set
Lol, that is soo often the way! I was hoping someone else would have a good answer so i stayed quiet. With Windows it's often the old reboot fixes everything trick. OpenSource gets updated quite a bit or just seems to fix itself by other magic.

[libreoffice-users] feature suggestion printing
Hi, When I attempt to print, I have options of All pages or Pages [ xx ]. How about a 3rd option of Current Page or alternatively under the Pages option above to list the page number of the current page instead of pages x-xx which now appears as the default. BTW, Thanks for Libre office. It has solved a recurrent crashing problem that occurred daily with OO3 every time I closed a file.

Re: [libreoffice-users] BASIC Runtime Error. Object Variable not set
Sadly rebooting didn't magic it this time, and I certainly don't understand why manually entering the data did. But it works.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Is partial installation possible (Mac)?
Thanks for the replies. It sounds like this is a Mac issue as much as a LibreOffice issue. Does anyone happen to know if the same problem with partial installation on a Mac applies to OpenOffice and NeoOffice? I know OpenOffice allows partial installs on a PC. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Is-partial-installation-possible-Mac-tp2353221p2382382.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [libreoffice-users] Set libreoffice file associations

It depends on which release tho. Xp works that way i think but Vista the option is there straight-away i think. If you want to automate the thing, you can use two commands under windows: ASSOC and FTYPE.

OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice are both complete installs, like LibreOffice. Compared to MS Ofice they only use about a third of the disk space.
