Le 22/08/11 20:10, Tom Davies a écrit : Hi Tom, Hi :) I think there are normally choices during install and it's possible to modify things after install too. I was surprised to hear those choices are not available on Macs but i guess that is something that will get worked on one day. Regards from Tom :) No, it will probably not get worked on as it is perceived by those who build the Mac versions of LibreOffice that it would not correspond to the Mac way of installing software. You get a DMG file, this is a self-contained disk image which when you mount it (e.g. by double-click), expands to present a folder window containing the application to install, some short documentation (help, readme, etc) and a symbolic link to the usual installation folder on Mac, i.e. Applications. This is traditionally one of the two main ways of installing Mac apps using a graphical interface. The other way is to use the pkg format, optionally encapsulated in a DMG, (e.g. used by NeoOffice, but also Apple for some packages), which does often have a series of dialogues allowing the user to indicate which disk it would like to install the software to, accept the licence conditions, and optionally select or deselect additional elements to be installed (or not). Upon installation, an entry entitled LibreOffice is created in the Applications folder, and when the app is launched for the first time by a user, a LibreOffice folder is also created in the users /Application Support folder. Additional language packs for LibreOffice are installed in a slightly different way, as they use AppleScript to copy the files over to the LibreOffice folder. In this case, the language packs are provided as a DMG, which open when mounted to provide an *.app (another packaged installation format), which is essentially an AppleScript wrapper around a bundle of files, which presents a rudimentary dialog for selecting the path for their installation.

[libreoffice-users] RE: Compatibility problems between LO Calc and EXCEL 2007 and 2010 (XLSX)
In my honest opinion, write support for OOXML is a mistake. LibreOffice should not help spreading a file format which has been bribed through the standardization boards for 2 reasons: fight the ODF standard and establish a non-free XML format for MS applications only. Microsoft's Office Open XML restores a certain level of incompatibility while having something with open and office and XML in the name anyway. What MS 2007 produces by default is the extended version of OOXML. It represents Microsoft's conception of an office document beyond any standard. With Office 2010 they started supporting the official OOXML version which they bribed through the boards but even that one is an incredibly complicated mess, impossible to implement by anybody except Microsoft. MS Office 2007 introduced a lot of new features tailored to the new file formats, and of course the new file formats can represent these new features where the old binary formats must fail to do so. So the new file format may store things that can not be exposed by any software other than resent MS Office versions whereas the old binary format supports almost the same feature set as ODF (after 20 years of co-evolution). As long as MS Office comes with the same binary file filters as in Office XP, there is no technical reason to exchange OOXML documents between LibreOffice and MS software. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Compatibility-problems-between-LO-Calc-and-EXCEL-2007-and-2010-XLSX-tp3277603p3278315.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Currently there is no application which handles OOXML but not the binary doc/xls/ppt. You can send binaries and they will open in WinWord without problem. There may be very, very rare cases where XML processors handle the document rather than WinWord.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Kexi
Hi You are right. We can't use .kexi DB with other program. It isn't a standard file. I hope than in the future they change it. Regards, Jorge Rodríguez _ El lun, 22-08-2011 a las 16:34 -0400, Don Parris escribió: I have been looking at Kexi as well. As I understand it, Kexi currently offers read-only access to DBs not actually created from within Kexi. If you have already created a database, you will not have write access to that DB. That said, if you create the DB from within Kexi, you can use it more or less as a front-end. I haven't tried it yet on my Debian-KDE box, but I may do just that. I think Calligra is going to be worth watching. I have used Base and learned a fair amount in the process. Based on the number of postings about Base here on the list, I certainly hope it gets more attention. I would offer to jump in, but I honestly can't code my way out of a wet paper bag. :-( I have used OOo/LO for several years now, but mind you, I am supportive of most libre projects.

KOffice gave all their remaining database devs to Calligra and dropped their version of the database. Calligra seems very active. Unfortunately Calligra and KOffice are really quite dependant on the K Desktop Environment (KDE). They do have a port for Windows (and possibly Mac, i'm not sure). Calligra have also developed a few apps that can work on mobile platforms but that doesn't include Kexi yet. So, the non-KDE versions of distros are going to ask for a lot of dependencies, probably Qt libraries and stuff. You will probably need to add the appropriate official repos. For Ubuntu you can try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install all of Kubuntu into Ubuntu but you might want to revert to your Gnome or Unity DE at the login prompt (have a look along the bottom task-bar/panel when you get the login prompt).

I would never found it by myself without your example! It is really an nice solution and it surely deserve a better publicity in the doc. Thanks a lot to all of you, Jean-Louis Maybe it deserves a better name in the menu? But unfortunately I have no suggestions, at least not yet… I feel that the validation tool is just well named: the problem is rather that it can make so many different things that it is diffucuilt if non impossible to find a better name! My problem was rather the opposite: I always considered that the Data menu contained almost only tools for... databases (or at least data sources, including reformating of CSV data... That was partly why I didn't understand why Controls were made for databases, and why I had to avoid controls in the first place. My first think was rather the opposite: use the controls for simple tasks on calc sheets, and use Data menu items for databases. This was sustained by the fact that most of the Data tools just ask you to connect to a database! May be it should be the control tools which should be renamed (or just suppressed as some people suggested) ?

[libreoffice-users] Re: registering
Hi :) I think this question is really 'just' a printer problem rather than an install problem. I think i found the page of instructions you were following http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/ Registration of LibreOffice as default application for Microsoft Office formats can be forced or suppressed by using the following command line switches with the installer: * /msoreg=1 will force registration of LibreOffice as default application for Microsoft Office formats; * /msoreg=0 will suppress registration of LibreOffice as default application for Microsoft Office formats. If you perform an administrative installation using set-up /a, you need to make sure that the file mmsvc90.dll is installed on the system. This file is required for LibreOffice to start after an administrative installation. You can download the file here. This is to do with getting LibreOffice to be accepted as the default app for formats such as .doc, .docX, .xls and all the other MS Office formats. Personally i wouldn't have bothered with doing that just yet. Just do a normal install by double-clicking on the installer that you downloaded. I am not sure what to do next but i am fairly sure that following those instructions would not have hurt so there is 'just' something not quite right with the way LibreOffice sees the printer. Hopefully someone here knows about printers and might be able to help! Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/registering-tp3279195p3279692.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
