Right you are, the control is not 'data aware', not bound to a data column, so you will need to use a macro to transfer the file path returned from browsing to the data column. In the default installation of LibreOffice is a basic macro library, Tools, which contains a number of file path manipulation macros, these should make conversion to a relative path (note here - relative to current directory of the ODB file, yes?) Anyway, I don't have an example snippet of basic on the disk at the moment, pretty sure there are some examples at different forums already - but I would really like to see this as an answer at ask.libreoffice.org - so if you don't mind I'll put an example there. It's kind of late tonight, but maybe before I turn in. You won't need to have a logon account there to retrieve it. The actual move to a data column is all of 2-3 lines, I don't think the conversion to relative path should be too much more.. :-) I don't think.. What I'll do then is post back here, with a link to the entry there..or if feel like check out the site and open the question and send that here - then I'll post to that entry - either way is good.

I am actually quite new to Base, and didn't realise I could use the File Picker control. When I try to change its reaction to the Mouse Pressed event, it asked me for a macro. Do I need to write a macro to get the relative path of my desired image??? I actually have no macro coding skills to do that...

LibreOffice 3.4.6 fixes the most-important bugs identified by users in the previous version, as well as a potential security issue. It is of course safe to be deployed for production needs. LibreOffice 3.4 contains lots of new features compared to 3.3. As a "user", particularly a new "user", which version would you choose? I suggest you take this up on the discuss list. I upgraded to 3.5 because of the default download status but it looks like I should go back to version 3.4. The wording should be sorted out because any new user who does not follow this forum would download 3.5 as a matter of course and could lead to disappointment and more income for Micro$oft. Any number of download sites for other software have 'stable' and recommended downloads and 'unstable' beta editions for those who like to live dangerously. Perhaps the LibreOffice download page should go down this track. BTW the GB help file didn't work in 3.4 either.

First- sure Base can browse to a file, just use the File Picker control. Second - so far nothing I've tried will give you a drag/drop way to yank the URL from an image driopped onto a form. But as I say the file picker works just fine for this. Avamk, have you used the file picker control and then if you need relative paths, that would be easily done also. //drew -- 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

No. How would the form know where the image had been located? When pictures are linked in a Writer document, you have to browse to the picture's location before inserting it in the document.

Hi :) It looks like the relationship between some of the tables has gone wonky. Can you look at the relationships in the OOo and LO versions to see what is different?

This is cumbersome when I need to add lots of entries, e.g. making a catalouge of things with images for each.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Figure Numbering disrupted in Master Document (LO 3.5)
It is more that just the page that "recommends" 3.5.x it is that the main download page only shows 3.5.x version. So unless you know to look for an older version most people would not be aware the 3.4.x is still being worked on for bug fixes while the 3.5.x line is being released. I do agree that the main download page should show what versions are currently being released and give an explanation about each line and let the user decide what fits there needs. Unfortunately for us we are still using Openoffice due to bugs with Libreoffice calc. Line 3.4.x has fixed a major stopper for us but 3.4.x and 3.5.x has added in enough "work around" bugs that we just decided to stay with Openoffice. So we wait for 3.5.x to fix most of these and for it to be the considered "stable" enough for business use.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page breaks never get really deleted, bug shows when saving as docx.
Hi :) Yes, most of us have to work in a mixed environment so we have to find ways of working around the issues. At my place they recently installed MSO 2010 on 3 main machines but we still have 2007 on the rest. So i would guess that things get messed up a bit. For our newsletter we found the only way to keep it looking the same on all machines was to use LibreOffice's native formats otherwise the photos and logos would go wandering off.

At home it is LO only. Since the work environment has a higer priority any documents which are related to work have to be .doc or .docx. But: In this case it looks like an .odt bug too, the page break gets saved even after it was deleted, I saw it in the source of the document. I just have to extract it to make a usable bug report. It simply does not show up if you repoen the .odt document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Upgrade information
Hi :) This link about the User Profile might explain a few things https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Uninstalling any version of LibreOffice does not remove all the settings and configurations, Extensions (Add-ons), galleries and so on. They are all left in your User Profile. So, the standard way to upgrade is to uninstal any previous version and then do a fresh install of the new one and let it pick up all your old settings. If you wanted to "get back to factory settings" then instead of doing a reinstall you would just rename your user profile, effectively backing-up your old one in case getting back to defaults didn't fix the problem you had been facing. Most OpenSource projects seem to work the same way, eg Firefox (web-browser), Gimp (picture editing) and so on.

I do not know about the more from 3.4.6 to 3.5.2. If you are a "power user", or business user, I would stick with 3.4.6. If you want the more cutting edge version, go ahead and install 3.5.2 as the "upgrade". I have not upgraded my Windows laptops from 3.4.5 yet. I run Ubuntu and still run 3.4.5. IF you want 3.4.5, you can get it. But 3.4.6 is the last of that line and may be better.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: php class to generate ods file
if you want to work with ODT files without even using LO (or any other program), may i also suggest the use of openTBS. It made my ODF processing so much simpler, and at the end, you use PHP to code it. The support is also very good, via the forum. http://www.tinybutstrong.com/plugins/opentbs/tbs_plugin_opentbs.html jef On 03/30/2012 12:10 PM, Daniel A.
