[libreoffice-users] LO crash switching from page view

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Hallo,

please confirm my observation:

Create a writer document with first page consisting of paragraph marks, half 
of them hard formatted hidden, on 2nd page single letter i.e. A.

Switching to page view shows the A  in the middle of a single page, when 
switching back to normal edit mode LO crashes.

LO  4.0.4.2 (also observed in LO 3.5.5.2)
Debian Linux

Re: [libreoffice-users] Automatic sizing of documents in single window

2013-07-23 Thread Walther Koehler
Hi,

I have a question in that context:

How does LO (writer) determines the window size while opening a file?
I know, that one can set the page size and found, that LO stores in some way 
the window size of a file for display.
However, this is overridden when I run LO in command line mode (for printing, 
translation etc in a bash script). Thereafter all files newly openend in a 
distorted (small) window. I tried to manipulate the
registrymodifications.xcu
However, in regular intervals its overridden by someone else (LO?).
Thus, every time I open a file, I have to change the window size manually.

(Debian Linux, KDE 3.5, LO 3.5.5.2, 4.0.4.2)

Hi :)
Please, when replying do a Reply to all or Group reply or Reply to list.  
Thanks for trying to work-around the 'problem' of me getting duplicates of your 
replies but i really don't mind getting duplicates.  It's easy to hit the 
delete key.  I think we are supposed to delete-out individual's addresses from 
the To and CC fields but sometimes that means the person that posted 
doesn't get any of the replies because they are not properly subscribed to the 
mailing list.  It's easier just to send to the list and everyone and let them 
quickly hit their delete key when they see the same message got through twice.  


The mailing lists used to have a really clever way of handling all this but 
various people prefer it this way around :(  The rest of us have just learned 
to live with it.  


Sorry about all that!! 



It should be possible to Cascade any windows that are in a group on your 
taskbar surely?  Don't you just right-click on the 'button' on the taskbar and 
select Cascade?  Win Xp and earlier going back to Win98 had something like 
that didn't they?  Vista and Win7 too?  So, is this problem only happening on 
Win8?  


Also which version of LibreOffice are you using?  If you have any trouble at 
all with 4.1.0 then just uninstall it and go back to 4.0.4.  That 3rd digit 
show how many service packs the branch has had so about .4 becomes very very 
stable and predictable.  Most people will find even beta-testing versions 
plenty stable enough but some will find odd things that don't quite work for 
them, in which case just go back to the stable branch.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hello, Tom, and thanks for replying

The documents (at this time) are all text and spreadsheet.  The ones that I 
open as a group all contain different, but related, information that I 
consolidate or replace. After I get this data together, it will be time for 
the slide-show (or dog and pony show, depending on whose watching.)

In MSOffice, I had the option of selecting all or some of these and having 
them tile or cascade in the window (using the MS terms.)  That's what I'm 
trying to replicate.  Right now, I'm doing this manually, and anything of 
three kills a great deal of time.  I may be out of luck or have to wait for 
another version to roll out.

Regards,
Jumper

BTW, the reply on the LO web site tried to send your answer to me to you 
again, so I'm replying directly.

Hi :)
Is it a Draw document/picture or an Impress slide-show?  If so the extra panes 
are for fairly crucial things you are likely to need when editing.

Tom :)

2013-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
What may be trivial to one person is a big deal to another.  Even just 
'trivial' changes have involved reading, understand, possibly translating and 
then re-typing stuff that is wy beyond the ken of most of us.  

A major part of the code clean-up has been taking out comments some of which 
are still there even though the code they were commenting about may have been 
dropped a decade ago.  The download size of LibreOffice is under 70% the size 
it was when the projects forked.  Smaller, lighter, faster might be trivial to 
some but many of us really appreciate the reduction in size and increase in 
speed.

Tom :)

Are you trying to set these printer defaults for LibreOffice only, or

I assume you are using Debian based system, like Ubuntu or Mint, if not 
Debian itself. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and LO 4.0.4.


For my system, I would go to

Applications / Office / Printer Administration

Then set the printer defaults there.
See if that helps.

Since you use a printserver, it seems, on a system you do not have

You are in a region of the world that uses A4 paper size, right?  Why

Jean,

To manage your printers if the OS is having problems use localhost:631 get  
to the CUPS admin. Findig the correct driver can be tricking. For example  
some Konica-Minolta printers have the correct driver listed under Minolta.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing problems

2013-07-23 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I find that tricky too actually.  Everyone in this country seems to have their 
printers configured to print on US letter despite actually using A4.  Then if 
someone sends them an A4 page to print onto the A4 it comes out as 2 pages with 
just a tiny bit of the page printed at the top of the next sheet.  

On my own machines, well the company's machines, i go around and set them to 
print on A4 but then if a new machine arrives i have no idea whether it's 
trying to print to A4 or what.  Also what about new users logging in at a 
machine they haven't used before?  Are they now on US Letter again or not?  


It seems that with LibreOffice it always seems to know that A4 should be being 
used.  None of this messing around.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing problems

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


You want to get all of the printers to work no matter what applications 
print to them?  You have how many PCs on your network?


In another post you state there are 20 printers configured.

So far, I do not know of any easy way to setup 5, 10, or 20 users to 
have the same settings for LibreOffice, and add over 10 printers in the 
mix makes it worse.


How many of these printers have a display panel build in?  I know that 
you can set the default paper types there.  But you still need to setup 
the LO application to default to the printer.


Is there any way you can setup a default

.config/libreoffice

hidden folder and place it on every PC running LO.  If you create one 
that has no user info in it, you should be able to copy it to the other 
Debian-based PCs.  Windows users would be harder.


To be honest, I have only about 6 systems configured for, currently, 
three network printers.  Two systems are dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 
laptops.


But it seems you are wanting to set up many printers to the Postscript 
instead of PDF on several computers.


Sorry, but there is no easy way to do this.

As I said, you can use the LO Printer Administration application listed 
in the same menu as LibreOffice.  That will be the easiest way to work 
on all of the printers that that computer has access to.  Click on the 
printer and the Properties button.  Go to the Device option and change 
the printer language type of the selected printer.  That is the only 
way I know how to do it easily for all the printers that that computer 
has access to.


Then if you did not set up any information in the

Tools / Options / LibreOffice / User Data

that is only for that system, then you may have the generic 
.config/libreoffice information that could be copied to the other 
Debian-based computers you are using on your network.  By replacing the 
original file with this generic one you should have all of the systems 
setup the same way.  The only issue might be if you are running both 
32-bit and 64-bit Debian-based systems on your network.


Of course I am assuming that you are not the only one on the network 
with 20 printers to do your bidding.

Hi,

if you are with cups on Debian or similar configuration use

 On my own machines, well the company's machines, i go around and set them
 to print on A4 but then if a new machine arrives i have no idea whether
 it's trying to print to A4 or what.  Also what about new users logging in

 It seems that with LibreOffice it always seems to know that A4 should be

should mean all the machines pick-up the A4 setting from there.  So it's not a

Are you trying to set these printer defaults for LibreOffice only, or 
for all printer?

I assume you are using Debian based system, like Ubuntu or Mint, if not 
Debian itself. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and LO 4.0.4.

For my system, I would go to

Applications / Office / Printer Administration

Then set the printer defaults there.
See if that helps.

Since you use a printserver, it seems, on a system you do not have 
control of, there are not as many options.

You are in a region of the world that uses A4 paper size, right?  Why 
would the printers be setup as that size by default?

Hi. Do you mean for the default page size to be A4 in the document also.
I have to set printing to postscript for every document because it does

 Thanks Andrew,

 So far, none of the links really strike me as helpful.  Sorry, but this is
 fairly new territory to me.

 I had hoped I would find a tutorial something along the lines of:
 We're going to create a way for users to enter/update data across a few
 tables in a single transaction.
 Here's how you do it using macros/BASIC...  Here's how you do it using the
 DB's native capabilities...
 In order to stop our form from entering the data into each field as we
 type, we need to do so and so...
 Now to collect all the data and click submit...

 How does one prevent the form inserting the data on the fly - do I use
 a macro?  Should I write a function or procedure on my PGSQL server to run
 when the user clicks Submit in the base form?  And how do I get the
 Submit action down to Postgres to run the transaction procedure?

 I get the commit() function (
 http://wiki.openoffice.org/**wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/**
 Database/Using_DBMS_Featureshttp://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Database/Using_DBMS_Features
 ).
 ..

 But isn't there a BEGIN statement?

 I think what I will do is move my DB forward at its current level and read
 up on transactions, triggers and procedures - as well as on LO Basic 
 Macros - so I can implement the transaction stuff later.  I bet it's a lot
 simpler to understand than I think.  But having to look in 20 different
 locations for little pieces of info - and then figure which pieces go
 where
 in my problem is more than I really have time for right now.

 If  when I do figure it out, I'll have to write a tutorial on it for
 sure.

You are obviously talking about Linux, but since you did not specify

Anyway, desktop integration packages has been moved from their own directory
into packages directory. In Debian and derivatives that is:
libreoffice4.1-debian-menus_4.1.0-3_all.deb


So we no longer have to do a separate install command for installing the

That would be welcome.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Printing problems - US Letter / A4

2013-07-23 Thread Peter Maunder
In an Ubuntu system, the default papersize is held in the /etc/papersize
file. If you set the language to say US, papersize can be set to US Letter
even though the printer default is actually A4. Similarly an English system
in America can be set to A4 although the actual printer is US Letter. It is
the difference between the actual Language setting and the physical printer. 

I would always advise you check this setting before setting the LibreOffice
printer defaults. Peter

Yes, that's exactly what I experienced. For now I have the .config

2013-07-23 Thread Scott Castaline
So I took it a step further and manually added the persona sub-dir
under the gallery sub-dir along with the jpg files within the folder.
I then manually edited the registrymodifications.xcu file (xml file
type) and just copied text within value/value in PersonaSettings
line from the working file to the broken 4.1.?.? version of the file.
I'm not sure what other changes there are between the 2 so I just
edited the broken one. I am still not able to change from the dialog.
It still will not allow the editing of the url within the box.

You can also select actual level with pull down arrow at end of box.

Me too! I was having this problem since upgrading, until I read Kracked

I am using LO: Version: 4.1.0.1

closed both CALC and Writter several times. I will see what happens

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing problems - US Letter / A4

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


So Peter

If the French person went into that /etc/papersize file and made sure 
it was listed as A4, then all of the printer drivers in her Debian [or 
Debian-based] system will automatically default to A4? Will LO then 
default to A4 for the default paper sizes of the printer and document?


Also, have you found any place where you pick up using Postscript 
instead of PDF for the default printer language used for all the 
printers connected to that system?


Like I stated before, I have only 3 active network printers, and one 
that is almost never used, attached to my network and about a half-dozen 
Ubuntu/Windows systems to setup to the Postscript printer language over 
PDF.  So I have it easy.  The OP has about 20 printers and who-knows the 
number of systems attached to the network.  There has to be an easier 
way than what I do to make sure the printers use Postscript.




On 07/23/2013 04:17 PM, Peter Maunder wrote:

In an Ubuntu system, the default papersize is held in the /etc/papersize
file. If you set the language to say US, papersize can be set to US Letter
even though the printer default is actually A4. Similarly an English system
in America can be set to A4 although the actual printer is US Letter. It is
the difference between the actual Language setting and the physical printer.

I would always advise you check this setting before setting the LibreOffice
printer defaults. Peter

RE: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

2013-07-23 Thread V Stuart Foote
Yes if one or both are fully installed (as opposed to /A administrative 
installs) they will interfere in subtle ways.

Actions to mitigate:

1) Disable the Quickstarter for both during installation -- the TDF LibreOffice 
and Apache OpenOffice versions will conflict--best if both are off. Done from 
AppWiz.cpl and a modify installation of both.

2) Also, only one or the other should have the Windows Explorer Integration 
enabled (it provides a thumbnail view of ODF documents) in Desktop or Thumbnail 
views in Windows Explorer (Desktop and other folder views). Personally I also 
leave that unchecked when installing.

3) Finally, if using the release rather than development builds. The Windows 
registry will be written with file associations--the two programs should 
coexist to open a file type, but only one can be set as the default for any 
particular ODF or MS Office format.  So keep track of that.

Good luck.

Just recently started checking out Fedora 19 on another system.
This version comes with LibreOffice 4.1. I found that I was not
able to setup my Persona settings in this version. My main system
has 4.0.4.2 and just on a hunch I copied the libreoffice sub-dir
in .config to my test system after renaming it on that system. It
now works, although I haven't tried changing it now that I think
of it since doing that.

Anyone know enough about the config db or file to shed some light
on why this happened. Also is there any major difference between
config tool in 4.0 verses 4.1 that could create problems? Or is
it possible to be a Fedora thing and not generic LibreOffice
problem?

Have a look at bugs 63498 and 59230 to see whether yours is a
related problem. I have the same symptoms with 4.1 debian install
and Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint-Mate Maya... Peter



I use Ubuntu 12.04 and MATE desktop and have seen no issues with using 
the Persona option.  I have no problem in changing it to whatever one I 
want, as long as I have the URL of the Firefox persona page.  I have 
made 26 persona files and posted them on FF's site and change my 4.0.4 
version on Ubuntu and Windows every so often.  No problems so far.


So are you telling us that 4.1.0.x has given up our ease of 
using/changing persona[s]?


The only thing that 4.0.x had issues with, in the past, was using the 
font/text color that was defined withing the persona.  In the past, if 
you had a dark background and light text defined, LO did not pick up the 
light text color and the text was shown in default black text.  There 
was a move to fix that issue.  Could that work caused the current 
issues?  I do not know.  Of course, I have to tried 4.1.0.x - since I 
rarely install a RC version of package.




Yes, that's exactly what I experienced. For now I have the .config
sub-dirs from my system running Fedora 18 and LO 4.0.4.2 copied onto
the system running Fedora 19 and LO 4.1.?.?. Since I saved my original
config on that system I may try restoring it and manually create the
persona sud-dir with the jpg files.

[libreoffice-users] LO 4 install deletes 3.6

2013-07-23 Thread Virgil Arrington
In an attempt to compare the latest LO and AOO offerings, today I installed 
both LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 on my Win7 machine.

Until now, I have been happily using LO 3.6.6.2, having previously tried an 
earlier release in the LO 4 series.

When I previously installed LO 4, I noticed that it seemed to uninstall my 
previous version of LO 3.6. After encountering some problems with LO 4, I 
uninstalled it and reinstalled LO 3.6.

On the prior occasion, I just assumed that, when installing LO 4, I had 
inadvertently clicked some option to uninstall the old 3.6. So, today, when I 
installed LO 4, I was very careful to make sure that I did not check any box 
indicating my desire to uninstall LO 3.6.6.2.

Nevertheless, LO 4 installed and, once again, my installation of LO 3.6.6.2 
disappeared.

Does anyone know if this is intentional behavior? It has happened to me now 
twice, and I’m 90% certain that it was not due to anything I did. 

If it is intentional, I find it most offensive. I can’t believe the TDF 
developers would be so presumptuous as to decide for me that I no longer want 
LO 3.6 on my system. This is the type of “let us think for you” behavior I 
would expect from MS, not from a FOSS project.

btw, AOO 4.0 installed quite nicely *next to* AOO 3.4.1, and I am able to run 
both programs.

Sorry, TDF, but on this one I have to give AOO a +1.

RE: [libreoffice-users] LO 4 install deletes 3.6

2013-07-23 Thread V Stuart Foote
Virgil,

Not sure how far down the rabbit hole you'd like to go, but the simple truth is 
that full installs of LibreOffice 3.x and LibreOffice 4.x use identical 
components of Microsoft Windows registry and system paths and are mutually 
exclusive.

One can happily run multiple versions of LibreOffice (or a mix of LibreOffice 
and OpenOffice), but they will not be fully integrated with Microsoft Windows 
OS--and at any given time only one can be fully integrated with the Windows OS.

Recognizing that this is the normal use case--that is how the LibreOffice 
installer behaves by default. If you need it to do something else you have to 
do more than click on the installer.  And, fyi, the Apache OpenOffice installer 
behaves exactly the same, but is less functional in migrating user settings and 
supporting extensions.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4 install deletes 3.6

2013-07-23 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


I think Win7 may think LO 4.x is the upgrade to 3.x and decide that to 
install the newer version it must uninstall the older one.  I have 
noticed that with a lot of packages lately.  Win7 deletes any previous 
versions of the software before the newer one is installed.


To be honest
For most users, they would want that to happen.  The average user does 
not want multiple versions of a package installed on a Windows system.  
So, I would say that Win7 or even Win8, might thing it is a proper thing 
to do, uninstall old before new is installed to avoid package conflicts 
or mis-matched DLL files, etc., etc..

btw, AOO 4.0 installed quite nicely *next to* AOO 3.4.1, and I am able to run 
both programs.

Sorry, TDF, but on this one I have to give AOO a +1.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to change url for persona settings

2013-07-23 Thread Scott Castaline
Yes 4.1.?.? the persona feature is broke. You can only change it or edit
it by doing it manually by adding the jpg files to the
.config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/persona sub-dirs. If the persona
sub-dir does not exist than just create it and dump the jpg there. Also
you will have to manually edit the registrymodifications.xcu file. This
just an xml file. Look for the 2 lines that have Persona and the
second one has PersonaSettings after oor:name=. You will want the 2nd
line, horizontal scroll to the type valueand type in the name of the
jpg file (ie 3.jpg;bas5.jpg;#d5f3fa;#00 is what is in mine for star
trek image.)

I got the mentioned values when I tried coping my libreoffic config
folders from 4.0.4.2 into my 4.1.?.? folders and found that it worked. I
found the difference based on the comments in the 2 bugs that Peter had
mentioned. Once I changed the new files I switched back. The xcu files
are very different in size so I'm not sure if keeping the older version
in place may disallow some new feature from working properly.

 Just recently started checking out Fedora 19 on another system.
 This version comes with LibreOffice 4.1. I found that I was not
 able to setup my Persona settings in this version. My main system
 has 4.0.4.2 and just on a hunch I copied the libreoffice sub-dir
 in .config to my test system after renaming it on that system. It
 now works, although I haven't tried changing it now that I think
 of it since doing that.

 Anyone know enough about the config db or file to shed some light
 on why this happened. Also is there any major difference between
 config tool in 4.0 verses 4.1 that could create problems? Or is
 it possible to be a Fedora thing and not generic LibreOffice
 problem?
 Have a look at bugs 63498 and 59230 to see whether yours is a
 related problem. I have the same symptoms with 4.1 debian install
 and Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint-Mate Maya... Peter

 
 I use Ubuntu 12.04 and MATE desktop and have seen no issues with using
 the Persona option.  I have no problem in changing it to whatever one I
 want, as long as I have the URL of the Firefox persona page.  I have
 made 26 persona files and posted them on FF's site and change my 4.0.4
 version on Ubuntu and Windows every so often.  No problems so far.
 
 So are you telling us that 4.1.0.x has given up our ease of
 using/changing persona[s]?
 
 The only thing that 4.0.x had issues with, in the past, was using the
 font/text color that was defined withing the persona.  In the past, if
 you had a dark background and light text defined, LO did not pick up the
 light text color and the text was shown in default black text.  There
 was a move to fix that issue.  Could that work caused the current
 issues?  I do not know.  Of course, I have to tried 4.1.0.x - since I
 rarely install a RC version of package.
 
 
 Yes, that's exactly what I experienced. For now I have the .config
 sub-dirs from my system running Fedora 18 and LO 4.0.4.2 copied onto
 the system running Fedora 19 and LO 4.1.?.?. Since I saved my original
 config on that system I may try restoring it and manually create the
 persona sud-dir with the jpg files.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

Hi.
I have 3.6, 4.1dev. and AOO 4.0 installed together on my mac.

1) Disable the Quickstarter for both during installation -- the TDF LibreOffice

AppWiz.cpl and a modify installation of both.

2) Also, only one or the other should have the Windows Explorer Integration

leave that unchecked when installing.

3) Finally, if using the release rather than development builds. The Windows

a file type, but only one can be set as the default for any particular ODF or MS Office 
format.  So keep track of that.

Good luck.

Hi :)
I think it's the same conflicts as between any 2 versions of LibreOffice or any 
2 versions of AOO or OOo.  Basically avoid having both open at the same time.  
That might mean turning off the Quickstarter of both of them.

Are there any known conflicts with having LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 installed on the 
same computer? In my never-ending, obsessive (and admittedly futile) search for 
computing perfection, I want to try both programs to see which better meets my 
techno-needs.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

2013-07-23 Thread V Stuart Foote
Steve,

Well yes, but Windows has completely different application configurations for 
the Launchers on OS X, where manipulation of each programs .APP and some Plist 
values. 

And there are major differences in launcher setup with info.plist and each 
applications .app file when moving between OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 
10.8--indications are that won't even run on 10.9.

And of course the mix of DE and application packaging on the Linux flavors is 
an interesting mix as well. 

So the three primary OS environments for configuring LibreOffice are different 
enough that we can't generalize across the OSs even though the code base is 
mostly in common. That is because installation/configuration is where things 
diverge the most.  Windows is an ugly beast. Linux Kernels and Darwin have 
reasonable methods for the most part. Although Unity leaves me scratching my 
head on occasion.
