As a general rule, it is a bad idea to draw in Writer. It is more robust
to draw in Draw module, group all objects of the same drawing and
copypaste it in your text document. Grouping objects is very important.

Make certain that you have enough memory for LibO and it's images, and that
you leave them in memory whilst you work on the document. TOOLS  OPTIONS 
MEMORY. Otherwise LibO will spend its time manipulating the drawings. Ifind
the defaults are not correct for me.  As well as the anchor point, I find it
is also useful to manage the WRAP option. This has quite an effect on the
text when you are adjusting the graphics.  Peter

2014-05-04 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


Have you tried inserting a table to your page?
3 columns and two rows.
Row 1 is for the pictures and row 2 are for the text for each photo.
You can easily center the photos in each of their cell[s].

Seems to work for me.

I tried it in LO 4.2.2.1 on a Linux Mint/MATE OS.

Yes, in another post there is a comment about the object memory size.  
If the Memory size of the object and the number of objects values are 
too low, it might give you problems.  Remember, the file size and the 
memory size are not the same.  JPG images have a compression rating 
and can be much smaller than the memory that is needed to display it.  I 
worked with a 4 MG file size JPG file and it took almost 20 MB of memory 
in the image editor.  If I set the memory per object to 10MB and need 
20MB, then they will be issues with the document, or so I have seen in 
tests a year or two ago.



I never tried the Anchor to a Character before.  I usually use Page or 
Paragraph types.  But Page anchoring is not wise if you document will 
be added to before the image page, since the relative position of the 
image[s] in the document will change.

I had a similar problem recently with a document in which I was trying to
insert about 15 pictures. It was okay until I wanted three pictures side by
side on the same page. Every time I tried to resize a picture or move it
slightly, it suddenly moved to another page. When I tried to move it back,
all kinds of things weird things happened. I think it has to do with my
anchoring settings, especially since all three pictures were anchored to
the same place, but since I just had to get the project done and didn't
have time to play with it, I imported it all into LyX and finished it
there. Later, I'll go back into LO to learn how to do it right.

I sense that LO's wysiwyg approach makes things a little more complex. I
even tried my document with pictures in a markdown editor and found it
worked better there than in LO.

Again, I'm sure a lot of has to do with my lack of knowledge of this part
of LO.

Virgil

   Suggestion: When inserting pictures, create an empty paragraph.

Insert a frame in this paragraph, and insert the picture or pictures in the
frame. Anchor both the frames and these pictures As Character. You should
also create a paragraph style for your frames so that you can align them
horizontally uniformly. This also permits you to have a border around each
frame if you like or no border.
  The document guides for LibreOffice contain pictures in the hundreds
with no apparent problem inserting and anchoring pictures.

Hi :)
I don't see how this mailing-list could stop anyone from writing private
emails to people who have written in to this mailing list.  We have to work
with what we have got.

I agree it might be a good idea to encourage people to forwards Urmas'
off-list remarks to somewhere but i'm not sure this list would be the best
place.  I'm not saying it definitely wouldn't be the best place, just that
there are pros and cons to doing so.  There is a moderators list and a
postmasters email address, but sending just to them would keep those
posts off this list and although that would be good in some ways it creates
potential problems in others.

If this mailing-list made it more difficult to respond to individuals than
to the whole list then that might reduce the potential for that sort of
behaviour but wouldn't eliminate it.
Regards from
Tom :)

  Tom, I have to strongly disagree.

 As I've pointed out, bullies flourish when they can act unseen. This is
 personality disordered behavior (if I may put on my professional hat for a
 moment). It's due to lack of appropriate internal controls to structure
 behavior. The solution that works is not to yield ground but to provide
 external structure. Put plainly, that is about push back. One doesn't need
 to get riled. *One just needs to get clear, then act.* His behavior is
 unacceptable. Period. (And that's putting it politely.)

 The next person he does this to may be a 12 year old struggling to get a
 grip on the software and making a mess of it. You want to turn him loose to
 have at her? Really? I don't think you, and others, have really thought
 this through.

 He knows he's being watched, and yet he acts as if there is no problem for
 him at all. Why? *Because there isn't*. That needs to change.

 I suggest two solutions: he should be banished from the list. If he comes
 back, repeat as needed.

 And, until action is taken, all inappropriate emails from him or anyone
 else should be forwarded to the list. No cover for bullies, as I've
 already said.

 I've dealt with people like this on other lists, in my neighborhood, at
 work (my boss!), and in adolescent treatment centers and mental hospitals.
 It's always the same drill. One warning, then you lower the boom,
 decisively. Someone WILL be in control: it's them or it us. We have to
 decide.

 I DO expect an appropriate and effective response from this list, not some
 ineffectual roll-over.

  I was allowing for the possibility that he wasn't serious. Turns out not

 I've almost never found 'professional' proprietary stuff to be any better
 than OpenSource.

  My experience exactly.

  Indeed a new study by an independant security company found that
 OpenSource had slightly less errors per 1,000 lines of code.  There is also
 the usual faster response time to fixing issues due to even mere normal
 users being able to report issues quickly and fairly easily and perhaps
 even getting involved in solving the problem and discovering coding
 skills.

  *Faster response time:* Yes. I've been running the latest alpha build.
 My vector M nonsense problem is gone. But there was a problem with row
 sorting crashing the program. I just installed the very latest Master, on
 the advice of the dev replying to my bug report. Now THAT problem appears
 to be gone. This is all very cool.

 *Getting involved: *Yes, also. I'm learning the bug reporting interface
 and protocol, in the process. Is easy enough. Looks like I've found a way I
 can contribute, with my very limited time. That, too, is very cool.

 Now we just need to get right of the Urmas bullying bug and we'll be all

Hi :)

i agree that banning or booting is not as easy as it might seem.

I think that it's more difficult for a bully to be effective when
1.  the mailing list is supportive of individuals coming here and
2.  when the mailing list is clearly not of the same opinion as the bully

What doesn't help is when the mailing list gets bogged down in some
flame-war or has a big fight over the issues or when personal insults fly
to-and-fro.  When someone new sees insults flying in from both sides it's
difficult to see either side as (or any side) as being acceptable.

I'm not suggesting that we sweep this under the rug nor that we avoid the
issue nor pretend it doesn't exist.  It does exist and at the moment we are
lucky it is only 1 person.  Once MS starts to get seriously worried about
LO then history might repeat itself and we find ourselves swamped with many
more.  We already see that in the Comments sections under many articles,
in the press, about LibreOffice.

I'm not disagreeing with Tom or anyone else that has argued for banning and
other punitive measures.  On the contrary i think such measures could well
prove useful in many cases and might even work sometimes or at least
discourage such behaviour even if they are not always as effective as we
would hope for.  The more tools we have for dealing with this sort of
behaviour the better imo.

  approximately 25% of them are slams of LO software or insults to
  some individual participating in this forum.
 
 Yeah, he's pretty much regarded as a Microsoft shill.  I guess it
 doesn't occur to him his behaviour reflects badly on his love.
 
  
  Why is this tolerated? Do we not have elementary behavioral
  guidelines here? Shouldn't we have?
 
 They could boot him.  Then he could get a new email address somewhere
 else, and start all over again.  Wash, rinse, repeat.  People like
 him are dumber than a box of rocks wrt social issues, but tend to be
 very knowledgeable about how to be a PITA.
 
  
 [snip]
  
  I urge that this individual be suspended from participation in this 
  forum for at least a week. If there's another infraction, then make
  it a month.
 
 Just put him in a set-and-forget filter on your email client and be
 done with it.  Hopefully nobody on the mailing list will have the bad
 sense to copy his nonsense to the mailing list, and Urmas will be
 gone from your life.
 
 Q: If an Urmas howls on the 'net and nobody sees him, does he matter?
 A: He never mattered in the first place, so the question is moot.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

2014-05-04 Thread Tom Cloyd

Tom, I have to strongly disagree.

As I've pointed out, bullies flourish when they can act unseen. This is 
personality disordered behavior (if I may put on my professional hat for 
a moment). It's due to lack of appropriate internal controls to 
structure behavior. The solution that works is not to yield ground but 
to provide external structure. Put plainly, that is about push back. One 
doesn't need to get riled. _One just needs to get clear, then act._ His 
behavior is unacceptable. Period. (And that's putting it politely.)


The next person he does this to may be a 12 year old struggling to get a 
grip on the software and making a mess of it. You want to turn him loose 
to have at her? Really? I don't think you, and others, have really 
thought this through.


He knows he's being watched, and yet he acts as if there is no problem 
for him at all. Why? _Because there isn't_. That needs to change.


I suggest two solutions: he should be banished from the list. If he 
comes back, repeat as needed.


And, until action is taken, all inappropriate emails from him or anyone 
else should be forwarded to the list. No cover for bullies, as I've 
already said.


I've dealt with people like this on other lists, in my neighborhood, at 
work (my boss!), and in adolescent treatment centers and mental 
hospitals. It's always the same drill. One warning, then you lower the 
boom, decisively. Someone WILL be in control: it's them or it us. We 
have to decide.


I DO expect an appropriate and effective response from this list, not 
some ineffectual roll-over.


Tom

My experience exactly.

Indeed a new study by an independant security company found that
OpenSource had slightly less errors per 1,000 lines of code. 
There is also the usual faster response time to fixing issues due

to even mere normal users being able to report issues quickly and
fairly easily and perhaps even getting involved in solving the
problem and discovering coding skills.

*Faster response time:* Yes. I've been running the latest alpha
build. My vector M nonsense problem is gone. But there was a
problem with row sorting crashing the program. I just installed
the very latest Master, on the advice of the dev replying to my
bug report. Now THAT problem appears to be gone. This is all very
cool.

*Getting involved: *Yes, also.**I'm learning the bug reporting

I've found a way I can contribute, with my very limited time.
That, too, is very cool.
