assign templates in Calc

Thomas Blasejewicz — 2013-05-21T14:02:11

Good evening
I know you can create templates in Writer and then assign them to other
documents, using an extension.

Now I tried to do the same thing in Calc. Does not seem to work.

Is there a way of "copying" styles from one Calc document to another?
Or assigning a template?

That would be really helpful.

Thank you
Thomas

macro to get option button values

Vieri — 2013-05-21T11:35:13

Hi,

I have a writer odt document with a form and 2 option buttons (Option1: "yes/no") as well as other form elements.
Clicking one option button enables it and immediately disables the other if the component names are identical (eg "optionButtons1").

I run a macro whenever I detect the "Mouse pressed" event for these option buttons. This macro searches through all form components and grabs their values.
My goal is to get the "Option1" value (eg. 1 if YES was selected and 0 if NO was selected).

The macro function snippet below returns something like "&optionButtons1=0&optionButtons1=1" when the YES option button isn't clicked and the NO option button is.

Instead, how can I get something like "Option1=1" when the YES option button is clicked and the NO button isn't?
Likewise, get "Option1=0" when YES isn't clicked and NO is.

Doc = ThisComponent
Forms = Doc.Drawpage.Forms
 
For I = 0 To Forms.Count - 1
Form = Forms.GetbyIndex(I)
For J = 0 To Form.Count - 1
Ctl = Form.GetbyIndex(J)
If Ctl.supportsServ

Hi, one of the reasons I posted here, in the user-to-user section, was to
know if others see the same large (for .svg) files. If others don't, it's
possible that those files "crept in" from some other source (which I very
much doubt).
Anyway, would you happen to know the exact link where I should ask about
these files?

      In addition to this, you can right click either the date or time 
that you have created. Select "Fields" to open the Edit Fields dialog. 
At the bottom of the Format list, select "Additional formats". This 
opens the Number Format dialog. Look through the Format list to find the 
timestamp format. It also has a Format code box in which you can specify 
the specific code you want to use.

Thanks, Tom & Dan, but as I surmised, it was indeed a PPA thing and Rico
Tzschichholz came through with an update that resolved my problem just 12
hours ago. Kudos to him for his great work - next time LO is updated, I'll
attempt to exhibit a tad more patience !...

Hi :)
Perhaps the Design Team might be worth contacting about it?  They might like
to have some input on redesigning the images.  It sounds like they didn't
have much input in the first place tbh

Hi :)
Sometime during install it should ask if you want the new version to be the default app for MS formats.  Unfortunately i don't think it asks about ODF formats.  

There is a page in the wiki about "Installing on Linux" that might help to remove all versions and then reinstall the newer ones from the downloads you kept.  (You did keep the didn't you?).  I guess you can always re-download if you have to, or encourage a buddy too and then copy there's "to check them".  

On Debian-family, incls Ubuntu you can remove all versions of LibreOffice with a command something like

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*

but please try 

apt-get --help

(with a space just before the --) to check that is not the one tht removes all your configurations too.  There is one apt-get 'tag' to remove all setting, configs and everything, and a different 'tag' to just remove the programs but keep the configs.  The later is usually preferable to avoid having to set everything up the way you like again from scratch.

Why such large svg files in LibreOffice (Linux)?

chimak111 — 2013-05-20T06:49:16

I installed LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID:
4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3) direct from
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ on Lubuntu 13.04. While I have no
issues with it [I]per se[/I], I think it has installed some svg files in
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/apps that are really horrible.

These svg files are several hundred kB in size and one,
libreoffice4.0-calc.svg, is 1.3 MB. Opening that particular svg file in
Firefox 22 or an image viewer takes a while. This is on a Core2Duo laptop
with 4GB RAM.

I really don't see the need for such bloated svg files. When I inspected it
with a text editor and with svg-edit.html
(https://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/), it's clear to see that there's just
so much garbage in there. Grrr...

Do these svg files have any purpose at all? I don't think it's fair to
include such large svg files as part of the installation.

2013/5/19 Dan Lewis <elderdanlewis< at >gmail.com>



Thanks for your response, Dan ! As a matter of fact, I have managed to put
the 4.0.3.3 build on my menu by right-clicking it, selecting «Edit menu»,
choosing «Office» and then adding the LO components to the menu one at a
time, taking care to provide the correct commands, for example, in the case
of Writer, «/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/swriter». I then closed the editor,
opened the Menu and right-clicked the individual components to place them
om my Cinnamon top panel. No problem - but a bit of pain. But as Synaptic
insists on telling me that the latest Ubuntu version remains
1:4.0.2~rc2-0ubuntu~precise1, perhaps I'll just have to accept the fact
that the PPA-makers simply have not yet gotten 'round to producing a
4.0.3.3 version for that distro. Perhaps in a couple of weeks ?...

Re: Attempting to upgrade from (Swedish-language) LO 4.0.2.2 to 4.0.3.3 on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Dan Lewis — 2013-05-19T18:18:28

      The problem you are having is that 4.0.2.2 is the LibreOffice that 
comes with Ubuntu while 4.0.3.3 comes from the libreoffice.org website. 
For many years the 2 version have not been compatible as far as the menu 
is concern. The Ubuntu version has to be remove before libreoffice.org 
version will appear in the menu after installing the desktop file.
      I have a file that explains step by step how to do this. I'm not 
sure what the date when that file was created, but it applied to the 
installing of OOo 2.3.0 RC3. (That would be OOo 2.3.0.3 the way LO 
numbers its version now.) That was a few years ago.

Thanks for your suggestion, Tom, but alas, it doesn't work, at least not on
my machine, as the 4.0.3.3 version of Writer is not presented as an
alternative, even if I click on «Search for other alternatives». I think it
has to do with the 4.0.3.3 folders being stored under /opt, while the
4.0.2.2 are stored under /lib, as per the above, and I could probably
resolve the problem by moving the 4.0.3.3 package to the latter directory,
but frankly, I'm too chicken to try....  ;-)
