Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr
Hi :) Ahh, the magic of updates! I'm glad it got resolved! I haven't read what got tried but it seemed like you did all the right things worth trying. Often problems are due to settings in the "User Profile" or more likely Extensions in there. Renaming the "User Profile" often fixes a wide variety of "strange things that 'shouldn't' happen". Very early on just after LibreOffice forked from OpenOffice.org i found that sometimes i needed to create a new document and then copy the contents of the old one with as little formatting as possible, and then reapply the formatting. At the time i was only just beginning to become aware of the advantages of styles rather than direct formatting, and i was having to do much the same thing with old MS documents too anyway. It's been quite a few years since i last had to do that but i keep it in mind if i ever run into problems with a one-off document. With very large or heavy documents i often find it's one or 2 of the graphics (usually a photo) that are ridiculously large. Getting the image out of the document and then using an image editor such as Gimp to resize the image down to about double the size i really need in the document usually makes it drastically lighter and the whole document much lighter without any noticeable difference on-screen or in print. Anyway, it seems like you have probably done or thought about all of this already.

Hi all, sorry for resurrecting this discussion, but I just wanted to let you know that as of LO 5.1.4, my issue is resolved! My large document now opens in 1 minute instead of an hour! ☺ -- Cheers, Patrick On Mon, 2016-02-15 at 18:03 +, Paolo Debortoli wrote: > as told by others, I am using LibreOffice 5.1 on linux > ubuntu, centrino laptop...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr
as told by others, I am using LibreOffice 5.1 on linux ubuntu, centrino laptop... I don't have slow downs (but with smaller documents and and ssd drive). I guess it can be a matter of hdd or document size. Paolo Debortoli On Monday, February 15, 2016 6:33 AM, Patrick Dijkgraaf wrote: Hi! Thanks for your suggestion.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr
Hi Pedro, Had a look at that setting. These are the default settings on my system: - Use Hardware acceleration: Enabled - Use Anti-aliasing: Enabled - Use OpenGL for all rendering: Disabled - Force OpenGL even if blacklisted: Disabled - Current GL Status: Disabled Unfortunately, enabling both OpenGL settings (and restarting LO) did not resolve my problem. Thanks anyway for the suggestion! I'm currently trying to isolate what triggers this issue, It could be somthing specific I use in my document (the large amount of tables, arge amount of custom document properties, etc.). I'll report back if I find anything! -- Cheers, PatrickOn Sun, 2016-02-14 at 03:16 -0700, Pedro wrote: > Hi Patrick > > > Patrick Dijkgraaf wrote > > Just tried 5.1.1.1 on the Debian box but unfortunately, the issue > > is > > still there... ☹ > > Please let me know if you have other suggestions, otherwise I'll > > defininately file a bugreport. > > The major change from 5.0 to 5.1 is the default usage of OpenGL for > all > graphic operations.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr
Hi Pedro, thanks for your suggestion! Just a slight correction, I believe the issue occurs (with my document) on any Linux distribution, not just Arch Linux. We tested on Arch Linux, Debian SID and latest Fedora (manually downloaded LO5.1.0.3 RPM's from LibreOffice.org on Fedora) and all have the issue. Only one that works is inside my Windows VM... Just tried 5.1.1.1 on the Debian box but unfortunately, the issue is still there... ☹ Please let me know if you have other suggestions, otherwise I'll defininately file a bugreport. Thanks! -- Cheers, PatrickOn Sat, 2016-02-13 at 16:41 -0700, Pedro wrote: > Hi Patrick > > > Patrick Dijkgraaf wrote > > Is anybody able and willing to help me on this? > > Due to the size of the file and intellectual property reasons, I > > did > > not add (a link to) the file.
