The three deadlines can well be the same. And any action requiring code

the problem was that "pt-PT" was used to create the download links. But 
it has to be just "pt". I've fixed this now.


Please try again (after clearing the browser cache or reload with 
pressed [Shift] key).


Thanks again for your report.

The 3 phases came from the reality in the past - at I remeber this way. 
We made some last minutes changes into the build, even when it was after 
the deadline.


So, IMHO we should count with this. That was the reason for the 3 
different entries.


Of course this can be changed. It was just a first try to create a plan.

Image loss in Writer documents

With modern memory sizes the memory allocations in OpenOffice may be too

to the code. Perhaps such a revision should be targeted for the next major

If I'm reading this thread correctly, it seems users' actually memory on
their machines were fairly conservative -- up to 4MB it seems -- but
increasing the graphics cache by users seemed to solve the problem. Is this
a correct assessment?

Could these issues be rectified by more information on the use of Memory
Options and how they effect performance?

There's an old doc about this:
https://www.openoffice.org/about_us/configuration_guide.html

but it could probably use some updating and better explanation.

I think the more recent reports are from better memoried machines. In 
particular I would expect that John_Ha's informtion and machine would be most 
helpful, as coming from a computer adept working with a well specified machine. 
One does not wish to have to flag OpenOffice with a warning "BEWARE! Do not 
attempt to use more than 30(say) images in any document".

> Options and how they effect performance?

I doubt that will help - more people, with less skills, are using OpenOffice; 
they expect it to work 'out of the box', without tweaking. Anyway, let's see 
what others on the dev list think; a graphics cache of 256MB max seems 
unreasonably low in the days of 4/8/16 GB machines.

Drag and Drop was significantly reworked by Armin in version 4.1, see

doesn't work for others with 3.4.1 and 4.0.1. In any case, due to the

Clipboard code is system-dependent, that's why this MacOSX problem is
not reproducible in Linux/Windows.

This is already reported in bugzilla:

Reporting a problem with the OpenOffice website

2014-06-07 Thread CarolBMus
Hello!
I have recently successfully downloaded the Apache  OpenOffice 4.1.0 
software on my new computer. Tonight, however, I went back to  the web site to 
download it on my old computer (Windows XP) and the "selection"  boxes are 
empty preventing me from doing so. 
Would you please check this out and get back to me  as to the 
resolution? I would greatly appreciate it since I'm trying to transfer  my 
documents 
from one computer to the other and need to recreate them in order  to do so. 
(i.e., my documents are in Word Perfect)
 
Thank you very much!
Carol B.

The selection boxes should not prevent you downloading a version. If your 
computers are running Windows (or have the same operating system) you can 
transfer the downloaded installation file from one to the other and install it 
there.

If your documents are in WordPerfect format, you can transfer them to 
OpenOffice format (.ODF/.odt) using a free service such as www.zamzar.com. 
OpenOffice 4.1 will not read WordPerfect format, but the transfers via zamzar 
will open, although, as with all transfers, they may need some fine tweaking.
