[libreoffice-users] Disallow ignoring locks
Hello. In latest versions, when a user opens a file that another user has already opened, there are several options: Notify, Open Read Only, Open (ignoring lock), etc... Can "Open" (ignoring lock) be disallowed in some way? bye & Thanks av. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[libreoffice-users] CSV import trouble (numbers & locale)
Hello. I'm producing a CSV for a customer of mine, which will import it with LibreOffice 6.2 on a Mac. If LibreOffice locale (from Options menu item) is set to English, everything is fine; if it's set to Italian there are problems with numbers: _ 123.45 gets correctly read as 123,45 (we use comma for decimals in Italian); _ 123.456 is read as 123456, when it should be 123,456. So my customer has to switch global locale, import the file and switch back (not sure if she also needs to restart LO). What puzzles me is that she's also asked the locale in the import dialog, but what she chooses here doesn't seem to matter. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something? bye & Thanks av. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

My customers know (if they listen to me and trust me). Then again, whether this knowledge has any practical effect or they still use XLS[X] is another matter... Still, besides format wars, we have a serious bug here. If XLSX is supported, it should work; losing data because it doesn't work properly is not a good thing :-( With MS Office 2013 users, you can use ODS files. MSO2013's support of ODS is still far from optimal (this of course falls again in their lock in strategy). Besides there are still many 2010s, 2007s and even some 2003 around. Is there any way to tell by opening/unzipping/looking at the files? Of course not, this is part of the lock in strategy applied to pseudo standard formats. You can possibly understand it from the namespaces (which are different, but undocumented, for every version). Thanks anyway.

[libreoffice-users] Randomly lost sheet
Hello. A customer of mine reported this problem to me on Windows 7/64b with LO 4.4.3. When she opens some XLSX file (which contains from a few to a lot of sheets), sometimes one of the sheet is blank (i.e. all the cells are empty as if it was a new sheet). This is very critical, since if she does not realize this, that data is lost forever when she saves. Closing the document and reopening it usually does not show the problem again. I searched bug tracking but found no issue which seems to be like this (but perhaps I don't know what to look for exactly). Any suggestion? bye Thanks av. -- 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
