[libreoffice-users] Re: Re: SVG embedding in LibreOffice

2011-06-08 Thread Zak McKracken

So if I understand you correctly, the blurred shadow is correctly
imported in OOo.

And here,

  LibreOffice 3.3.2
  OOO330m19 (Build:202)
  tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2

I get an unblurred arrow as the shadow.


Yes, that's it. I tested it under Windows XP, and it worked just fine.

So it sounds like a good improvement, I wonder if it will be used in
LibO. (It should be [legally] possible, unless they've already changed
their license, right?)


According to the comments in the OOo Issue tracker it wasn't even very  
hard to do, although I cannot be the judge of that. But I guess there must  
be some GPL libraries out there that will do most of the work.



I think there's a general problem with office software and vector
graphics (not just in Open/LibreOffice), and the only package that
gets it  completely right to my knowledge is LaTeX, even though that
works only for  EPS.


It is. Other examples: IIRC, MS Word (dunno about SVG support, but I
doubt it has any), apart from the Windows and Enhanced MetaFile formats,
only supports enhanced postscript, in the same way OOo and LibO do
(actual rendering is relayed to printing).

Someone trying to embed an EPS into MS Word:
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/Importing-eps-files-Word--ftopict699269.html



A list of supported formats and their limitations (in MS Word):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290362/en-us


Oh, that's just great! The Microsoft website detects that I am running  
Linux and kindly disables the complete article, because it is not relevant  
for me. Way to go, guys! Good that my browser can just mask itself :)


Interesting to see that MS Word has the same problem with EPS as OOo. Only  
prints right on PS printers, otherwise only a preview image. I wonder if  
this is a principal problem with EPS, or whether OOo more or less copied  
the behaviour from word simply because it's easier to implement. I  
circumvent the Problem by printing to file, then using ps2pdf and then  
printing the PDF file wherever I want, but the downside is that ps2pdf  
automatically turns raster graphics into JPGs and reduces the resolution,  
so while keeping my EPS graphics alive it will reduce the printing quality  
of non-vector graphics, and this when the whole point was to get a good  
printing quality!
(Does anyone know a way to keep that from happening? the OO-internal pdf  
converter is even worse on embedded eps, but can preserve the raster  
images)

Thanks, Jay.  Theoretically possible, but practically not available due to
limited backup availability.  I can backup what is critical, but not
everything.

Sounds like I need to bother the devs with a feature request and request for
info / doco on the rc's and shell scripts.

Cheers

 I thought something was wrong because when I replaced all the text cells

Yeah, sorry about that.  After I posted the formula, I realised that
the All Good bit wouldn't work out so well.  But seeing as it
returns a zero value when there are no non-numeric values, I didn't
mention it.  At least the formula is still useful, even though it's
not as user friendly.

Michael D. Setzer II wrote:
 Was interested if it could be modified for multi-column searches.
 Did a same test using H2:I5 and used this formula.

 = SMALL((IF(ISNUMBER($H$2:$I$5), ALL
 GOOD,COLUMN($H$2:$I$5)*1000+ROW($H$2:$I$5))), 1)

 That returns the number 8004 and 2nd one returns 9005.
 Then used this formula to convert to a cell address.
 =CHAR(INT(L2/1000)+64)MOD(L2,1000)

 That only works for first 26 columns, and upto 999 rows, but could
 be modified.

Hi Michael,
I've got another way of finding the address of the first non-numeric
value in a multi-column search.

= ADDRESS(MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All good, ROW($G$4:$H$7))),
MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(OFFSET($G$4:$H$7, MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All
good, ROW($G$4:$H$7))) - MIN(ROW($G$4:$H$7)), 0, 1)), All good,
COLUMN(OFFSET($G$4:$H$7,MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All good,
ROW($G$4:$H$7))) - MIN(ROW($G$4:$H$7)), 0, 1)

Please note that it should be entered as an array formula by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just plain ENTER (curly braces will appear
around the formula if it is done correctly).  The advantage of this
formula is that it should work for any contiguous range, not limited
to 999 rows or 26 columns.

There are also disadvantages to this formula.  The first obvious
disadvantage is debugging/understanding the formula (if anyone wants
an explanation of how it works, feel free to ask).  The second
disadvantage is that I can't think of a logical way to extend it to
find the 2nd or 3rd non-numeric value.  Your (Michael's) formula can
easily be modified to search for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. non-numeric
cell.  The formula also references the range in question quite a few
times, which makes it a pain to change the reference to another range
(in this case I would suggest a find  replace for $G$4:$H$7)

The above formula returns Err:502 if all the values are non-numeric.
 To get a more user friendly result, use the following formula:

= IF(MIN(ISNUMBER(G4:H7)), All values are numeric,
ADDRESS(MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All good, ROW($G$4:$H$7))),
MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(OFFSET($G$4:$H$7,MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All
good, ROW($G$4:$H$7))) - MIN(ROW($G$4:$H$7)), 0, 1)), All good,
COLUMN(OFFSET($G$4:$H$7,MIN(IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$H$7), All good,
ROW($G$4:$H$7))) - MIN(ROW($G$4:$H$7)), 0, 1))

Once again, remember to enter it as an array formula (by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just ENTER).

Stephan

 Hi :)
 It should be possible to view the desktop as 'just another folder'.  In 
 Ubuntu 
 just the Places menu.  In Windows open your My Docs or My Documents 
 folder 
 and then in the icons at the top of that file-browser go up 1 level.  The 
 Desktop folder often has a different icon from the other folders but works 
 the 
 same way.
 Good luck and regards from

Tip: You can use a sort by date functionality to locate more easily
those files VS your usual desktop files especially if you remember date

Good luck.

 That depends. 

 You could just delete them - but then of  course, you have to download the 
 program again, if you want to install it. 


 Or, you can just mark them (so, that they are all highlighted) and move  
 them 
 to the destination you want them to be. CTRL+C (or CTRL+X) and CTRL+V  
 should do 
 the trick. 


 If you need more help, just ask again. But please  give a few more details,

I think that there is no need to know the second, third, etc text celss. You

I know you are using XP, but I thought it worth noting that Option 3 worked for 
me on Ubuntu + LO. Specifically, I am using...

LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2~lucid1

Hi austux,

Although you can apply . under tabs in paragraph styles using 
Format  Paragraph  Tabs  Fill Style you can't change the colour.


You can use character styles - create a blue dotted style for your tabs 
characters and apply a separate paragraph style for the rest of the 
paragraph.


  Format  Character  Font Effects  Underlining

This technique is a little more labour intensive but you could probably 
do a global find and replace (i.e. find tabs then change to tab with 
format).

Method,
Create and open empty LO Writer file.
Select all in page with control-A
Right click in page, choose copy
Go to  LO
Right click, choose paste

After a wait of perhaps 10 seconds all images appear, however the 
LibreOffice green header image does not appear, I get text only there.


I realize this is an earlier version of LO, and not XP, yet I hope this 
is helpful.

[libreoffice-users] Latest 3.4 does not work on Server 2008 SP2

2011-06-08 Thread Joe Siebenmann
Hi All,

I tried to install the latest 3.4.
Unpacked it to the default directory, and the Install seemed to go fine
but if you click on the main LibreOffice 3.4 icon, or try to manually
run any of the apps, like swriter.exe they don't to anything!

Zero activity..

I tried to do a Reset then run it again, nothing!
I even tried to uninstall my previous version, 3.2 I think it was,
that ran FINE, and still nothing, it's bizarre.

I'm running Windows Server 2008 SP2.
32 bit

I downloaded:

LibO_3.4.0_Win_x86_install_multi.exe

This is the third time I've tried to install, and run anything,
and no luck..

Re: [libreoffice-users] text frame

2011-06-08 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I think that's a yes :)  But if you can avoid frames and boxes then it's good 
to 
avoid them.  MS Office tends to mess up frames and boxes although it's not so 
bad with .doc (98/2000/Xp) rather than .docX (2007 and 2010).  Everyone else 
handles odt really well but MS Office is set on the old standards for it.

[libreoffice-users] Recalculate/SUMPRODUCT takes too much time in Libreoffice 3.4

2011-06-08 Thread pkatsoulis
A sheet with more than 100 sumproduct cells getting values from another sheet
(pivot table) with around 2000 columns worked like a charm with the
Libreoffice 3.3 version.


Did the upgrade and the time to open and recalculate these sumproduct cells
is at list 10 times slower.
AutoRecalculate is enabled in both cases.
Opening the pivot table also is much slower in 3.4

Now i'm back to 3.3 and everything works truely fast again.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Latest 3.4 does not work on Server 2008 SP2

2011-06-08 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I would file a bug-report and go back to 3.3.2.  The 3.4.0 is for early 
adopters 
so it's good to try it out and make bug-reports on it so that the 3.4.1 can be 
a 
lot better.  I don't understand having desktop apps on a server machine.  I 
would have 1 machine as Server and a separate machine as a desktop.  Servers 
that have only a few client desktop machines do not need to be as powerful as a 
desktop machine so even an old machine can be quite good for it.  On a home 
network (say 4 or 5 machines) you could just run the desktops off the router, 
there's seldom a real need for a proper server.  Just my opinion though.

Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] Install errors

2011-06-08 Thread BudScan

I'd LIKE to install and use  Libre Office, but can't.

I had to manually edit my registry to even get LO to install at all,
and even after that, it still had errors on the install, and now
won't run correctly.

In the first case, it THOUGHT I had LO 3.3 installed AND RUNNING,
but that never happened due to the same problems I'm having now with
3.4.

During the install (Toshiba laptop, AMD dual-core, 4 gigs of ram,
Vista 32, Admin account),
I got several notifications of 'insufficient permission',
and 'unable to create link, folder missing'.

When I try to run LO, it can't find the links that it clearly DIDN'T create
on the install.

Not very confidence-inspiring, if you know what I mean..

?

This was compiled yesterday but it is still named 3.4.0rc1?

Build 3.4.0 final was announced on June 3rd while the files are dated from
May 26th (because the final build is in fact RC2 so there was no point in
re-uploading).

Why rc1?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Manager disc usage

2011-06-08 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Could you acquire a 'new' hard-drive to use for your /home?  Rsync rather than 
copypaste to keep permissions the same.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

If you want to resize your existing partitions then you would need to boot from 
a LiveCd/Usb or some other drive.  You could probably take the drive out of the 
machine it's in and put it as the 2nd drive in another machine.  You can only 
resize partitions that are not being used.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

 Hi Tom (and all else),
 The initial issue is that my /root disc is space constrained (~600MB free)
 but my /home partition has 5GB free.  LO Manager tells me not enough disk
 space when I try to upgrade from LO 3.3 to 3.4.  Under APT there is an
 option that tells APT to use /home for it's cache and so I can perform
 larger updates than if it used /root.  LO Manager appears not to use the APT
 option for, at least, it's available disc space estimate at the beginning
 and so tells me not enough disk space.
 I am wondering if any of the rc or shell files or command line are where an
 option may exist to redirect the Manager to store it's temp or cache files
 and so use the /home partition.  There are options in some of the rc files
 for various TMP directories, so there may already be an option if I can find
 it.  I can work it out if there is doco but do not know where it is, if it
 exists.
 Cheers

You might be able to resize the partitions using a partition  manager
like gparted or other partition manager. Of course this only works if
both logical drives on the same physical drive.

I do not remember if you specified you drive set up earlier.

Hi :)
Since trying to recover the document ends with big problems i think you have to 
try cancelling the recovery.  It sounds like there might be a few different 
problems.  Hopefully clearing the recovery problem might make it clear how to 
solve the next problem.  I would go back to 3.3.2 anyway.

OO and LO print EPS correctly for me to non-eps printers (my epson C87), 
printing the vector graphics cleanly. Mac and Linux, both use CUPS as 
the print engine. Are you printing from Linux, what printer driver are 
you using.

Hi. I get this every time also on Suse, 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.2. I think 
there is a duplicate file somewhere (2 packages try to install the same 
file). I just delete the file then the RPM installs ok, (but I can't 
remember the file until I run through the install). If you try the 
verbose switch does it give you more info.


I have a suspicion I saw a comment in the list a while back stating that 
help should be installed before the lang pack, or visa versa.

Re: [libreoffice-users] text frame

2011-06-08 Thread e-letter

 Have a look into help, index frames  linking.


I couldn't access help in the program (described in a separate post)
and therefore looked at the internet edition.

Chapter 4 section 'linking frames' states that a link can only be
created between _two_ frames, which seems totally pointless. Is there
a better alternative or is this task more suited for LaTeX?

Hi. I get this every time also on Suse, 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.2. I think there is a

I run through the install). If you try the verbose switch does it give you more

I didn't try verbose, see below.



I have a suspicion I saw a comment in the list a while back stating that help 
should be installed before the lang pack, or visa versa.

Perhaps this article
(http://www.mail-archive.com/users@libreoffice.org/msg05661.html)? ;)

Followed my own advice and now the problem has been solved. Thank you
for your assistance!



No trouble, did you get your history manager?

Thank you for this information.  I could not get the en_US helppack to 
work for Ubuntu 64-bit since 3.3.0, but I installed the en_GB langpack 
and the en_GB helppack before I installed the en_US helppack, and now it 
works.  Maybe someone should make sure that information about langpacks 
needing to be done first be in the install documentation.  To be honest, 
I never thought to add the en_GB langpack before I used the en_US 
helppack, since there was no en_US langpack to download.


So thanks.  Now I get 
LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz to work for me.

Hi :)
In OpenOffice and LibreOffice the Export to Pdf option allows you to  
choose

lossless compression or change the percentage of jpg compression.


Yes, but that applies only to raster graphics, not to vector formats. With  
EPS images, only the preview image will be dumped in the pdf.
To summarize: The built-in pdf export preserves my raster graphics but  
kill EPS images (for me at least. Some people apparently have very hires  
preview images inther EPSs). printing it .ps file and using ps2pdf will  
preserve the EPS images and reduce the raster images.

This behaviour has not changed since OOo 1.0

Very strange, for me they definitely do not print correctly.
I'm printing from my Windows XP PC to a Canon iP5000, and all I get is the  
same as in the PDF export, which is the eps preview image.
This may have to do with how the preview looks like, maybe? Some EPS files  
have a very hi-res preview, and as I just learned from Microsoft, Word  
creates one of its own. I usually add a very low-res preview to the EPS at  
creation. I've attached an example with a very coarse preview (and a SVG  
version for comparison).

I'm very curious if you can
- print it directly from LO to a non-eps printer, and
- convert it to pdf
while getting the full verctor graphics goodness out of it.
You should be able to zoom fairly far in, and you should also be able to  
see the different thicknesses of the coloured curves versus the hairline  
tangential lines.
If I even just  put them into a writer document, it looks pretty  
ridiculous already, and the pdf looks just as bad.



I think this should clearly show the use of having a properly embeddable  
and printable vector image format.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Re: Re: SVG embedding in LibreOffice

2011-06-08 Thread plino
I just inserted the arrow.svg into a ODS using OOo 3.4 Beta.

The interesting results are:
1) Opening the ODS in LibreOffice shows the blur (while if I insert the svg
in LO it won't)
2) Exporting to PDF has higher quality in LO than OOo

Hi. This works ok in my LO 3.3.2 without error. Which version do you
have this problem with.

Hi. This might be a windows bug (just the way windows prints, and always
has).
The bitmap image with an EPS with vector art is like a preview.
Sometimes I don't even create a preview with my EPSs, just position the
frame (empty on screen). Printing has worked fine for years in OO and
now LO on linux and mac.
The great thing about LO on the mac is that LO displays the actual
vector art of an EPS, even when there is no preview.
Wonder if you can install CUPS for windows.
steve
