[libreoffice-users] Verification problem with OSX and GB language pack

2015-08-16 Thread Roger Hayter
If I install Libreoffice 5.0 on a MAC using Mountain Lion, OSX 10.8.5, and then 
install the English (GB) language pack, the first time I open LO it fails 
verification and tells me I should delete LO (and presumably re-download the 
'damaged' file).   However, if I install from the main, US locale, installer 
and open the program after installation and before adding the language pack, it 
verifies itself and opens.  I can then close it and install the language pack 
with no further problem.

I don't know how specific to my setup this problem is, and whether it is worth 
reporting as a bug.   Has anyone else observed this?

[libreoffice-users] Re: UNO: iterate through headings?

2015-08-16 Thread Andreas Säger
I know next to nothing about Writer because I rarely use any word
processors and my mind can not sync Writer's API with what I see on the
screen. Let's try anyway:

The enumeration of the document text seems to reflect the paragraphs inded.

 Sub enumDocText
 e=thiscomponent.text.createenumeration
 while e.hasmoreelements
   print e.nextelement.string
 wend
 End Sub

Looping through UNO objects is highly inefficient. Let the application
do the loop:

EditFind/Replace
[More Options]
[X] Search for para stlyes
Search: Heading 1
[Find All]

which selects all matching paragraphs and
ThisComponent.CurrentController.Selection.Count reports the count of
selected paragraphs.

This would be equivalent to method X=ThisComponent.findAll(oDescriptor)
with the right descriptor settings.
The descriptor is an array of c.s.s.beans.PropertyValue.
X.Count would return the element count of the found objects.

Thanks, I've learnt something new about OSX!   Although I didn't actually 
notice the problem in 4.4, perhaps I or the installer did something 
differently.  I think this could merit a mention in the README for the 
installer, which people might pick up, at least after their original install 
went wrong.

 This is an artefact of the interaction of the way OS X does the verification, 
 and the way language packas are installed. Installation of the language pack 
 changes the application, thereby making it invalid. After verification, OS X 
 doesn't care anymore whether you change the application (but this may change 
 in future OS versions). 
 
 The proper way to install is (as you described above in your second attempt):
 
 1. Install the base version of LO.
 2. Open LO so that OS X will very it.
 3. Close LO
 4. Install the language pack.
 
 This also applies to other LO versions and later versions of OS X.
 
 The proper way for LO to solve this (IMHO) would be to put the language packs 
 outside the application.

Re: [libreoffice-users] WordPad

2015-08-16 Thread jerryg860

I think the problem here may be a misunderstanding of autosave.

If I understand it correctly, autosave saves the document's recovery 
information at fixed time intervals. The default setting is to not 
save the document itself unless that option box is checked.If 
that option is selected it still won't have saved the pasted 
information if the document is closed immediately.  After pasting, a 
simple press of ctrl-S will save everything.


Jerry


I tried to put the contents of a WordPad document in a file that I had
created using Libre Office.

I joined Libre because I would like to have its AutoSave function.

When I exited and then re-entered this Libre file, I saw that AutoSave
hadn't worked.

My computer provided WordPad only - not any such Microsoft program.

Is Libre Office of no use to me when I'm writing in WordPad, even if I
transfer the contents to a Libre file?

[libreoffice-users] Save UNO state?

2015-08-16 Thread Hi-Angel
Often it is really hard to figure out for how to do something in UNO
unless someone already did it, and left a description on the Internet.
Even in the presence of MRI.

So I'm wondering: perhaps is there a way to save UNO state? So that
one could just save the state, change something they're interested in,
next again save the state. And the only thing that's left to do, is
just to peek at the difference between two files with a diff utility
to figure out the properties that were just changed.

Peter,  An automatic periodic save without 
exiting is in LO but you have to set it in the 
options from the 
menu.  ToolsOptionsLoad/SaveGeneral  Under the 
Save heading you can set the time interval to 
save the recovery information AND THE 
DOCUMENT.  Set the time interval for whatever you 
want and check the box to save the document along 
with the recovery information.  Make the time as 
short as you are comfortable with realizing that 
the save operation will interrupt you. Depending 
on the size of your document and the speed of 
your computer/hard drive, there may be a 
measurable pause during the save 
operation.  Contrary to comments, where the 
document is saved is determined by the folder 
path you specify in  ToolsOptionsLibreOfficePathsMy Documents.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Save UNO state?

2015-08-16 Thread Hi-Angel
Well, I think at some level that all comes to a simple objects.

Anyway, how do you compare properties? E.g. I was recently needed to
change with UNO the first page style of Writer document. In the end it
turned out to be the property «PageDescName» (a string) of the first
paragraph, and that's just impossible to infer deductively (why
paragraph? I could imagine it would be e.g. TextCursor, but a
paragraph could easily span for multiple pages).

So, could you compare properties for a Writer document before and
after the first page style was manually changed, and find that the
«PageDescName» just did changed?

 Is your interest is in a specific object. For example, what properties
 changed on the first table.

 I can easily compare properties for an object, but, that only deals with
 simple types such as strings and numbers. So, I can inspect an object and
 display the values of all the simple types with the attribute names and
 values. I can then save this in a text file, make a change to the object,
 then check the values again.

 First problem is that I am only looking at simple types. Sure, I could
 change my inspection code to attempt to expand attributes that are other UNO
 services, but, I would need to watch for referential loops (like if a table
 refers to the owning document that would then refer to that table).

I'm grateful for all of the help.

This is an active group, to judge by the number of responses that my simple

   [the only stupid question is the un-asked one]

You are, also, an informative, spirited (er, maybe, contentious as well)

   [yes, I'm one of the ones who seem to irk some of the debators; I

   [that's true -
  and the reason I don't bother with these so-called back-up programs,
rather I save individual files to external HDs;
 if you, as I, merely use this machine as a 'glorified typewriter' then
my system saves time, space on these HDs,  makes the files easily
accessible from the HDs]

On the main matter: There is no way, if I understand all of you, to have
the program save my changes without my answering Yes to the question when
exiting a document.

   [If you set the program to automatically save, it will do so every
minute or so which frustrates me - it stops the program, breaking my train
of thought, in order to save it  ;-(
   so I save any file after typing just what I like and always before
closing the file, placing it in whatever folder I choose]

I'd been looking for an automatic, periodic save without exiting; while
autosave does that, it's only for the purpose of retrieving the document in
case of a malfunction. (Do I have that right? No?)

   [no, but it saves into whatever folder it chooses, not where it can be
retrieved easily]

Even having the option set to saving every five minutes is of no help if I
then exit without saying Yes to a save. . . . And, as one poster put it,
that's a good thing.

   [yes, I would suggest never exiting without saving; unless you've done
nothing to the file since it automatically saved]

It seems that hitting control+s does do the kind of 'internal' save that I
seek; I just have to remember to do it periodically. Thanks to the poster
who recommended that. (As I say, I know so little about all of this.)

To the poster who said that I was wrong, that I didn't join LO because it's
not a membership: Yes, I did. In order to take part in this forum, I had to
sign up.

   [again, my apologies for any of this list-bashing you saw and/or
received; ignore it if you can  ;-)  ]

I'm glad that I did. Long may you all, in your various ways of using and
explaining LO, reign.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: UNO: iterate through headings?

2015-08-16 Thread Hi-Angel
Thank you, that is interesting!

2015-08-16 13:34 GMT+03:00 Andreas Säger ville...@t-online.de:
 I know next to nothing about Writer because I rarely use any word
 processors and my mind can not sync Writer's API with what I see on the
 screen. Let's try anyway:

 The enumeration of the document text seems to reflect the paragraphs inded.

 Sub enumDocText
 e=thiscomponent.text.createenumeration
 while e.hasmoreelements
   print e.nextelement.string
 wend
 End Sub

 Looping through UNO objects is highly inefficient. Let the application
 do the loop:

 EditFind/Replace
 [More Options]
 [X] Search for para stlyes
 Search: Heading 1
 [Find All]

 which selects all matching paragraphs and
 ThisComponent.CurrentController.Selection.Count reports the count of
 selected paragraphs.

 This would be equivalent to method X=ThisComponent.findAll(oDescriptor)
 with the right descriptor settings.
 The descriptor is an array of c.s.s.beans.PropertyValue.
 X.Count would return the element count of the found objects.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Verification problem with OSX and GB language pack

2015-08-16 Thread Roger Hayter
That's helpful - my bug search was rather too superficial, and I shouldn't have 
relied on Apple terminology.  Pretty harmless problem once you know about it.
  
(I might have another go at looking at the multitude of bugs on duplex printing 
- my big problem with Libreoffice - but if I can't make sense of them I might 
start a new thread here, seeing everyone is so helpful.)

Are there two separate bug lists? I searched for the LibreOffice bug list with Google and got 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=553598order=bug_idproduct=LibreOfficequery_format=specific


It did not have the bug listed.
