An email client WITH SEARCHING FUNCTIONALITY would be of great help.
But you're right. It's a major pain to open up thunderbird / mozilla. It
would be much easier to open up a mail client if it were called
'OpenOffice Email'.

[discuss] Regarding Integration with MS Outlook

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 11:04 AM PDT

Hi Virag,

What exactly do you mean?

In OOo you can do
- File|Send|Document as e-mail, or
- File|Send|Document as PDF attachment.
Can be done with Outlook as well.

With OOo you can create documents
- that you attach to Outlook
- where you paste contents of in an Outlook mail.

So pls, explain what you are looking for that is not possible with
Outlook and OOo.

Thanks a lot
& Regards,
Cor

I've had doctors prescribe antibiotics automatically for something that wasn't a bacterial

patient and assumed they knew the answer without proper testing.

Some doctors think they are God. Is it the same with programmers?
 

End users see what the program will and will not do. They know (at least some of them)
what they need and if a particular program fills that need. Developers who do not listen
to what end users want will end up missing the boat.

OOo.org is a great product and has helped me with the process of becoming Microsoft
free. Once I buy a Macintosh the process will be complete. I just hope that the attitude
some on this list display will not stop others from leaving Microcrap products.

[discuss] Strategy - was mail client

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 03:10 AM PDT

On Sun, 2006-04-30 at 10:49 +0000, jonathon wrote: 
 

It is, its down to Sun's internal policies as to what gets done jsut as
much as the community perspective - some would say more so. That is
politics - micropolitics perhaps, but nevertheless politics.
 

It will be dependent on someone with the authority in Sun who has the
vision to see why it is of strategic importance. That really is down to
politics not necessarily our version of rationality. One hopes
politicians are always informed by rationality but its not always the
case and of course different people see rational arguments differently,
that is the essence of politics. If the decision maker believes that
code efficiency is not too important and will take a lot of effort with
little in the way of visible returns they might well go for a short term
fix that would translate into eg more desktop sales of Star Office or
whatever.
 
strategy would probably be the obvious priority. Sun has other
constraints so their perspective could well be different. Point is we
don't really know and at least it would motivate the grass roots
community members to be part of the discussion. Its months since the
launch of 2.0 so there must surely be some plans for 2.1 and 3.0. Its
rather surprising that these have not been discussed much here on the
discuss list. What is the discuss list for? One would expect to discuss
strategy issues at length and then come to some decisions that everyone
can get behind. Seems difficult for eg the marketing project to market
when there is no clear development path. We also waste a lot of time
dealing with threads like the mail client one because no-one knows
whether or not the issue is relevant to current plans or not.

So what is the development strategy? Is there a reason for it being a
secret?

I wasn't going to buy-in to this Mail Client thread, but here goes.

You can do this already with send as email. Or maybe you are describing
the OLE stuff the Outlook does with Word. If so, what advantage or
benefit would this give you? If the same integration between OOo and an
email client (eg. TB, Evo), it would be the mail client that would need
to have the code to instigate the link, as in the Outlook -> Word case.

Chris,

I don't have the necessary inside knowledge of how OOo (OpenOffice.org)
handles color, but I don't believe this list is the best place for such
a technical question. I would suggest you post this to the developers
list at org where your request is more likely to be seen
by someone who knows the inner workings of OOo.

If you do post to the developers list, let them know you are not
subscribed and ask to be cc'd with any reply.

Hope you get the answer you are looking for.

If you search the net, there are tools that allow you to convert a pdf
to various components such as text and graphics. I have done it in the
past. I have just copied and pasted from my pdf viewer into OOo.

[discuss] Changing of Sun's CEO's

Posted: 26 Apr 2006 10:04 AM PDT

McNealy is going out and Schwartz is stepping in. Has there been a
statement about how this will/won't affect java and OpenOffice.org ?

Also will the new CEO Schwartz, as opposed to McNealy's whining, be more
supportive of the GPL and the LGPL ?

McNealy's done some good things during his tenure, but lately it has
seemed like it's time for him to be busy with other things.

[discuss] Edit Chart Data is greyed out

Posted: 24 Apr 2006 02:48 PM PDT

Hi Jean Ives,

Jean_Yves TILLIER wrote:

The menu 'Edit' -> 'Edit Chart Data' is only enabled if the chart has
its own data (not from calc or writer table).
If you have created a chart from spreadsheet cells you can modify the
range by doing the following:
Leave the chart and open the contextmenu on it (while it is not
active!). There you can choose 'Modify Data Range...'.
This option is much to tricky to find in the old chart. In the chart
reimplementation this option will be offered while editing the chart.
If you like you can have a look at the current state of the charts
reimplementation on the chart web page:
http://graphics.openoffice.org/chart/chart.html.

Ingrid

[discuss] OpenOffice.org Premium -- steps for 2.0.3

Posted: 23 Apr 2006 11:57 AM PDT

Alexandro Colorado írta: 
Hello!
Thank you for the quick answeer! 
I have got a good news for you! OpenOffice.org Premium utilize same
technology as OpenOffice.org, so we can include templates based on
their language. I have created a different pool for Premium extras, but
it works like the original. So OOo Premium has two language specific
template stack, one is the original, the second is for the premium
extras. This one is selectable from the installer.
So the technology is available. As you know the Premium edition has more
enhancement like Gallery, Fonts and others. They might need some extra
work (mainly translation and recompilation with extra contetns) but the
Hungarian users liked the idea of all-in-one sollution. 
Your way to solve this game is also interesting, but currently I prefer
the all in one type package... 
Thanks,
KAMI

[discuss] bug OO to MS

Sorry, to tell you that your claim is not true. I have been using OOo
(openOffice.org) since it's reincarnation from Star Office 5.2 and of
the hundreds of spreadsheets I have sent out to Excel users, none have
never contained any unreadable formulas.

What you may have found might be an issue not a bug. The ability of OOo
to export data in Microsoft file formats may never be 100% perfect
(unless publish the details of these currently secret formats), but it
100% better than Microsoft programs ability to export data in Open
Document file format.

Could you please post an example of a formula (not a Calc Sheet - OOo
lists strip attachments ) which does not translate from Calc to Excel.
This will allow your claim to be tested by others and if it can be
replicated, an issue can be filed for the developers to review. To file
an issue/bug report or a request for enhancement go to:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/TLogin create an account (if you
don't already have one) and follow the instructions.

BTW The correct list to contact for user issues & support is:
org

Hope this helps.
