Crashing OOo Creating Dialogs in the IDE

users
#1

I was editing my book on OpenOffice macros using LO 4.0.2.2 yesterday..... I am updating the section on Dialogs. While attempting to make simple updates to a dialog (change name, update properties, add button, change button properties), LO crashed. This occurred four times in a row, so I started the process of opening a bug report following a documented step by step plan, and then LO did not crash.

I will acknowledge that editing OOME_30.odt is a bit of a stress on the product but surely I cannot be the only one... Anyone else see problems in this area?

Note that I then fired up Apache's version for my editing and have not had a problem there. I did not try stepping back to a 3.x version of LO because I don't have the install files sitting around and it is not immediately available that I see from the site.

Thank you Johnny Rosenberg for pointing out how I can download the stable version rather than version 4. Not sure how I missed that.

Andrew,

Here is the link to download prior versions libreoffice/old
<http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/> . With a
couple of exceptions the x.x.x.2 are the rc2 that become final for each
build.

So do you think there was a bug--or not? As LibreOffice diverges from
Apache Open Office, issues of Macros and support for scripting environments
is evolving. No specifics, but would not be surprised by something being
done to enhance Python could impact StarBase.

So if you think there was an issue go ahead and post up your bug report,
even though it has seemed to resolve, that way there is a permanent record
if there really is an issue with active macros or with complex document
formats like your text.

For what it is worth, I grabbed a current copy of your OOME_30.odt and had
it open in a current Apache OpenOffice build AOO400m1(Build:9700) - Rev.
1463876, Rev.1448553, and it crashed there, so who knows.

Well, for sure it is a bug, LO crashed four times. Hesitant to post a bug report when my steps did not cause a crash when I went to add the bug. Will see if I can reproduce and post it.

Sorry, of course that should have read StarBasic. And also that I had the
crash while in the Tools/Macro Organize IDE.

And for Johnny, another non-response to the list, or did you mean to just PM
Andrew this time? :wink:

Hi :slight_smile:
Tim @ Kracked Press has an excellent link for this sort of thing.  A web-page that was developed early on but then taken off the main website to avoid confusing noobs.  It still automagically updates so it was a very elegantly well created page.

Unfortunately the only link i can find is this one

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect
and i can never remember which operating systems people are using so you have to navigate quite a bit from there.  I hop around different OSes quite a bit at the moment so i sometimes assume everyone else has to too.

Sorry, forgot that this list behaves different to most of the lists I
am subscribed to.
Most lists (Ubuntu, AutoKey, Audacity, gEDA and more): Hit Reply and
type your reply.
This list and a few more, for instance the Swedish LibreOffice list:
Hit Reply To All, remove all addresses except the one to the list
(optional), move the list addres from ”CC:” to ”To:” (also optional),
type your reply.

Maybe I should just get used to ALWAYS ”Reply To All”, no matter what list.

Hello Johnny,

Maybe I should just get used to ALWAYS ”Reply To All”, no matter what
list.

Alternatively, use an MUA that allows you to set optimal reply methods on
a per folder (assuming each list's mail gets sorted into a separate
folder) basis.

Hi :slight_smile:
Ahh, folders and filtering.  That's brilliant!

I don't use a MUA and I don't want to. I have tried several and
nothing works like I want it to. I use the web interface only.

It's your choice of course, but email was never designed(1) to work via
the WWW.

(1) Some people might say that email wasn't _designed_ at all. :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
I can set-up folders and filtering in Yahoo's web-based system so GMail should have no troubles with this sort of thing.

Good luck though!

Hello Tom,

I can set-up folders and filtering in Yahoo's web-based system so GMail
should have no troubles with this sort of thing.

That part will be easy, yes. Whether gmail can be persuaded to cope
with having different addressing (To:, Cc, etc) methods per folder, I
have no idea.
