[libreoffice-users] Report Builder under 4.1
Hello, After changing the ownership of directory /opt/libreoffice4.1 to root:root as suggested in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67388, desktop integration works for me under Debian-Wheezy. On the other hand, I tried to run a report that uses a MySQL view as a base and got the error message caught a java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError. Any ideas?

Re: [libreoffice-users] start up speed
For me, I do not use the Quickstart option. Their are some hassles with upgrading some extensions if that is on all the time. I find that without using that option, I have the package load up and usable for editing quickly enough for my needs. It is faster than many other packages I use. The boot time for LO is much faster now that in the past. Also, compared to MS Office, it is still faster. There is one other time that needs to be measured. The time it takes for you to be able to start editing. Sure you can have a package start up fast and show its page view, but it does no good if you cannot start working with the package if it take another minute or so to allow you to start working with it. Take Writer or Word. You start the package by double-clicking the icon in the menu or on the screen. Then you get a splash screen. After that the document or a new one is seen in the page view window. Now, how long does it take from there to be able to click on a menu or start typing editing the document? That is where I had a problem with MSO 2003. Sure that is ten years out of date, but it was the last version of MSO I actually work with on a regular basis. Since 2010 I have been a Linux person with Ubuntu as my default desktop OS. So I have not tried the newest version of MSO. But, with Writer, the time ti takes from opening of the page view window to being able to edit or click on the menus has been reduced by a large percentage since I started using LO in its early days. That is the real question. How much wait time do you have between clicking on the icon to the print of being able to work with the package. No package is as fast as people would like, i.e. click and edit in a matter of a 2 or 3 seconds. Right now, with 2 browser windows open, this email package and 3 utilities on the screen, my Ubuntu install on a mid-range quad core desktop from Feb. 2010 , takes about 7 seconds from click to editing. That is fast enough for me. I have run packages that take 15 to 30 seconds to open up to the point of using it. In this day of wanting things as quick as possible, 15 to 30 seconds may be too long for some people. Yet, for those of you who have been using PCs since its early days of DOS or even Windows 95, these start up times are super fast compared to those older systems, even with the less powerful packages that we used, like PC-Write for word processing.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Conflicts?
Personally I've experienced no conflicts in documents when moving from AOO to LO 4.0/4.1 or back. But then I am comfortable moving between releases and administrative installs for QA work. Regards the design goals of a Sidebar, some good documentation worth a read. Apache OpenOffice 4.0 release notes on Sidebar are here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes an extract of the lead developers comments about how Sidebar was integrated are here: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Sidebar#Overview And when it was picked up for inclusion in LibreOffice 4.1.0 as an experimental feature, LO Devs have done some additional cleanup and rework of the UI as described in the those release notes: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1#Other Stuart -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Conflicts-tp4066896p4068908.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
[libreoffice-users] Subtotal Function in Calc Spreadsheet
Libre Office Users, I am a new user to Libre Office after many years on Excel. Have an issue that needs your help. The sum subtotal works properly, and so does the average subtotal. It's the count subtotal that does not calculate correctly. After loading 4.0.4 and renaming the user profile to see if that would correct the count subtotal (suggested by AskLibo) it still does not work correctly. Have attached a spreadsheet with format examples. As you can see the LO format does not produce the correct response while using the Excel formula does. How do you change a formula in Calc? Is it something that we can do or must it be done by the developer? Also, there are no label descriptions like there are with the sum subtotals. How would we add them to the format? Or must it be done by the developer? I know very little about programing so any instructions would need to be layman's terms. Using the count subtotal function is an important part of what I do and I need Spreadsheets to to funtion properly as quickly as possible.

LibreOffice 4.1 features a large number of improvements in the area of document compatibility, which increases the opportunities of sharing knowledge with users of proprietary software while retaining the original layout and contents. Interoperability is a key asset for LibreOffice, which is the de facto standard for migrations to free office suites since early 2012. Numerous improvements have been made to Microsoft OOXML import and export filters, as well as to legacy Microsoft Office and RTF file filters. Most of these improvements derive from the fundamental activity of certified developers backing migration projects, based on a professional support agreement. Instrumental for interoperability are also new features such as font embedding in Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw - which helps in retaining the visual aspect when fonts used to produce the document are not installed on the target PC - and import and export functions new in Excel 2013 for ODF OpenFormula compatibility. In addition to interoperability, LibreOffice 4.1 offers a very large number of new features and improvements also in other areas of the suite, which are listed here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-1-new-features-and-fixes. LibreOffice 4.1 is also importing some AOO features, including the Symphony sidebar, which is considered experimental. LibreOffice developers are working at the integration with the widget layout technique (which will make it dynamically resizeable and consistent with the behaviour of LibreOffice dialog windows). LibreOffice 4.1 arrives at the end of a significant development process, which has just been outlined on the foundation blog: http://wp.me/p1byPE-q0. Feature wise, the summary is here: https://www.libreoffice.org/features/why-libreoffice/. In just two months, on September 25, 2013, the LibreOffice community will gather in Italy at the Third LibreOffice Conference, hosted by the Department of Computer Science of Milan State University. More information on the conference web site at the following address: http://conference.libreoffice.org/2013/en. The Call for Paper is open until Sunday, August 4. Downloading LibreOffice LibreOffice 4.1 is immediately available for download from the following link: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/. Extensions for LibreOffice are available from the following link: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center.

Re: [libreoffice-users] What's needed for reading and writing an excel o spreedsheet file from Java
What exactly are you trying to do? First, you're writing to the LibreOffice Users list, but you mention Apache. Are you using LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice? And which version? If it's Apache OpenOffice, you need their users list (us...@openoffice.apache.org). Or are you trying to use some other program to call LibreOffice and cause it to open an Excel spreadsheet? The poi.apache.org website says the Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. You DO NOT USE Apache POI with either LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice. Both programs will open, manipulate, and save Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files without the aid of any external program. Both programs work better with the older (MS Office 97-2003) file formats (.xls, .doc, .ppt), but they will also open and save to the newer (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx) formats. -- Tim Deaton === On 8/5/2013 11:32 AM, Edwin F.
