Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice, task manager bar and the running application icon
Alex,
I am assuming you are using a Linux distro, since you mention kde and
xfce. I am using Slackware Linux and xfce. I would first try running the
following script as root to refresh the icon cache before you get too deep:
#!/bin/sh
# Cache the icons:
if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
for THEME in gnome locolor hicolor ; do
if [ -e /usr/share/icons/${THEME}/icon-theme.cache ]; then
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/${THEME}
>/dev/null 2>&1
fi
done
fi
#
# Update the desktop database:
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ]; then
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database -q /usr/share/applications
fi
#
# Update the mime database:
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ]; then
/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
It won't hurt to refresh the desktop and mime databases also, as shown
in the script. Historically when I suggested this to other users with
icon problems, running this script cured their problems. I run this as
part of my installation script when the LibreOffice package is
installed, thus updating the databases at install time.
FYI, the icons are defined in the .desktop files for each of the
LibreOffice apps in:
/opt/libreoffice5.3/share/xdg/*.desktop
Look for the "Icon=" entry in the desktop file. Additionally, you may
have defined additional desktop files in ~/Desktop . This directory is
where the desktop shortcuts may have been copied/placed by you to your
desktop.
And the icon files are in:
/usr/share/icons
Note that libreoffice5.3 is the version I happen to be using. Substitute
your version as needed. Note also that these are for my Slackware
system. Your distro may place them elsewhere, but it should be similar.
HTH.

I've got a problem that's bugging me.
The initial problem was that if I started calc, it started as expected

suspect this icon is the default icon for running applications, the
icon I'm expecting in the task manager bar is the calc icon. The Base
and Impress icons displayed as expected.
The icon for writer displayed perfectly.
It bugged me so much yesterday that I decided to temporarily change
from kde4 to xcfe. I started up Calc and got what I suspect was the
default icon not the calc icon. Started writer got the default icon
not the writer icon.
Returned to kde4.
This time. Started up Calc andgot the icon with a X and a circle
through it not the calc icon - same as before. Started up Writer
andgot the icon with a X and a circle through it not the writer icon,
whereas previously I would have got the writer icon. The same was seen
with the Base and Impress icons which were displayed as the X and a
circle through it.
By switching from kde4 to xfce and then back again, I've made matters
worse.
My question is where does the desk top environments get these icons
from? How can I get the calc and writer icons displaying in the task
manager bar
Alex

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base, deactivate the edit mode, going to a form.
Here is what I use : Mac Mojave, LO Version: 6.1.5.2, HSQLDB embedded. Reading your post I fear that I do not have the knowledge to re-bind the form to the data source (unless you know where I can find a tutorial) Thanks for your help.

This is usually done by opening the form in form design mode, and altering the properties of the form. You didn't mention which kind of database engine you are using, so this possibility might not be available for all types of db engine, I don't remember now.
