[discuss] webOS App

Posted: 07 Jun 2010 01:55 PM PDT

It seems that there is demand for ooo on small devices such as
phones, palmtops, the internet but due to the size of ooo this is not
practicable.

Perhaps there could be a place for popular aspects to be tailored to
these devices if a concensus of users came up with a sensible list eg
* spreadsheet with limited size and range of functionality
* simple drawing capability - the psion had one!
* simple document writer

When you saved these docs originally did you use the "save as" option or
simply click on "save"? If "save" then it's user error. Next time try to
learn the software before complaining.

[discuss] [Ubuntu] Remove OOo Draw from the default install?

Posted: 30 May 2010 07:00 PM PDT

Hi,

seems to be better to review the whole thread.
 

I find the original question unqualified as the author obviously didn't
take any effort to dig deeper into the topic or working with Draw before
going to the list. The replies at the thread say most things that have
to be said.

Personally I live in Beijing/China. OOo market share is pretty low here:
http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffice-market-shares.html
I was talking to some of my Chinese friends, who frequently work with
OOo. They are also using Draw and find the features rich and appealing.
However there are some issues for them, primarily complaining that there
isn't spend too much development effort on Draw, both regarding bug
fixes and lack of new features. As many Chinese users are loving to
create graphical artwork, my friends are sure that improvements for Draw
would also help the general OOo adoption in China. One of my friends
called Zhang Weiwu tried to spark a discussion about on a mailing list
(sorry, cannot remember which one) some months ago with little response
unfortunately.

Best regards,
Peter

This question comes up from time to time and the answer is no. Many
people on this list would recomment Mozilla Thunderbird for e-mails, but
I have seen some comments in the computer press that the tabbed browsing
takes some getting used to. Thunderbird is free and open source and from
the same people that provide Firefox.

Thanks

[discuss] Calc- re-calc doens't work

Indeed. For my peace of mind, I've just checked a simple example with a
print range defined and some cells within it calculated from cells
outside it. I don't see any problems - everything updates as expected
(OOo 2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04, btw).

I suggest the OP recheck what he's doing, then simplify his spreadsheet
to give something easy to understand that exhibits the fault. If he's
lucky, he'll spot a problem while doing this; if not he could post the
simplified example. He ought to say what version/OS as well.

[discuss] OT - Ro4.5 for Linux (Ubuntu) English Lang. Pack

Posted: 22 May 2010 05:55 PM PDT

Just to follow up on that - I did install the Sun Report Builder for OO.o
3.0 and it does install, it comes up with the UI in Chinese - but it has all
of the 3.0 bugs, and a few new ones it seems.

So I can create reports, but crash he system when I try to run them...that
and all the menus are gone...oh well...but the keyboard shortcuts work and
SOME of the toolbars are available.
