[libreoffice-users] Extension Manager Runtime exception
I'm trying to package an extension for Calc. so far, the preamble seems okay. But Extension manager chokes on the embedded python macro Says 'XSCRIPTCONTEXT' is not defined. The scripts work when I put them in user/.libreoffice/3/user/Scripts/python so I must be missing something in the extension packaging. I see from the error message that its trying to install the extension in the user's libreoffice directory. What if I want that code installed in Libreoffice's standard directory? Is that possible? How do I do it? Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Extension Manager Runtime exception
Hi :) I don't know if this is helpful but the Macro chapter in the Getting Started Guide got updated a few days ago http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation There is an additional chapter in the Calc Guide but that is still on it's first version. If you scroll down to the bottom of that page there 'should' be a link to the book by Andrew Pitonyak (?speeling?) which is excellent and well worth getting if you are really into Macros. Hopefully someone else on this list might be able to give specific help this time but some of those guides might help you get a deeper understanding of it all if that's what you are looking for.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem with combo box
2011/8/16 Andreas Säger ville...@t-online.de: There is more than one way and you are free to do whatever you want. It is just me who suggests a better solution. Form controls used to be in there since version 1. As a matter of fact, most of their functionality is tailored for database fields. Form controls used to be in Excel since many years, so they added the interfaces that are needed to bind them to sheet cells. Data validation by cell ranges has been introduced in version 2.0 because it is in Excel and list/combo boxes are inappropriate in many cases. In version 2.3 they added support for validation by dynamic cell ranges (OFFSET, INDEX, INDIRECT and such). A typical example of what most people want to do: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=8592 refer to the first sheet, columns labeled Category and Name. We can not know what you are trying to do exactly, but certainly you don't want 1000 form controls. Another example of the dynamic ranges that do work since version 2.3: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=333 I have never seen that validation thing before, but I can see it is useful, and it will probably solve a few of my problems I've had that I previously gave up on… :D Still there are cases when form controls are the right way to go, for example when needing a way to start a macro manually with a button or something.

Hi :) I don't feel contempt or superior or anything. If a person has a problem i just try to help if i can. A quick copypaste is no hassle. At a coffee shop we kept making a certain warning sign larger and larger. Changed the font to red. Tried exclamation marks, road-side no-entry signs.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc will not save file after sheet deleted [RETORT TO FLAMEBAIT; DNFTT]
Hi :) +1 I think Twayne was showing his sense of humour again. In England good friends often do petty jibes at each other in that way. The better the friendship the more outrageous the jibes/jokes. The problem imo is how people outside that friendship view it. A non-native English speaker might be terrified to learn the level of precision apparently required. On the other hand jokes/jibes like that can often release tension. The next comment by someone else about snipping was hilarious imo but again it's easy to read it in a different way from the way it was intended. If we were all in a pub or at a cocktail party or other social gathering the meaning would have been clearer from body-language and facial expressions.

[libreoffice-users] LO Impress 3.3.3 crashes Windows and Ubuntu

I can move around the mouse pointer (now hand) but I cannot do anything else. All that I am left with is a hard reboot. I have dual-boot system and tried the same presentation in windows, only to experience the same behaviour after a few minutes, so I assume that it is a problem with LO, not the OS.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the quick reply. The bug report is now https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40141 Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the crash using strace. Ironic! I'll just start LO through strace every time and if it doesn't crash, that's fine, too.

Re: [libreoffice-users] unsubscribe
Hi :) Your position is a good one and doesn't need defending. If we all agreed about everything all the time it would be very dull. Lets hope we never get there! Usually we work towards a win-win so that everyone is happy but in this case we have been forced into a compromise which no-one has won and some points of view have lost out more than others. The fact is (imo) that you are right and other people (incl me) are trying to defend a less-than-perfect system. There is a Nabble thread about this and if you have a good idea of how to implement a better answer then it would be great to add to that thread. That seems to be the blocker at the moment, the implementation is not easy. Other mailing lists have better answers but the mailing-list system we are using is different.

An irrational response might be to dismiss them all as just lazy people who need to be taught a lesson, even though teaching this lesson several times a week also bothers to a slight degree each and every reader of the list, not to mention the Good Samaritans who send out these messages two or three times a week. The aggregate bother over, say, a year is not at all trivial, and it is all sooo unnecessary, Does it satisfy a hidden social need to do so? Why are you accusing those that do assist of having an ulterior motive? If you will read that sentence again, you may notice that it is not an accusation, but one in a series of hypothericals, framed as questions, meant to display the absence of any logical explanation for the unusual way unsubscription is being handled. As you have perceived it as an acccusation, it seems to have struck a nerve. For the record however, I don't care how you get your jollies; What you do with your surplus time is certainly your own business. I am sure I've said everything I have to say on this subject, several times. I don't have any interest in defending my position further. It's been educational, which is something, and it's shown me an especially comical human foible that I must somehow have missed earlier.
