SOE (Arrow Styles) file submission mechanism
Hello... I've created numerous line ends (aka "Arrow Styles") that I'd like to contribute. However, there's no method on the website for submitting this file type (SOE). I could submit as a template that downloaders could then save as a text file with the right filename extension, I suppose. Seems unfortunately inelegant, though. A Forum moderator asked about submitting as an extension. But "arrow styles" aren't a programmatic feature, nor even a GUI enhancement like a gallery addition. They're just a text file (XML, as you prob. know). And the file doesn't go in one of the standard user directories anyway. Any ideas for a solution (or remote possibility of expanding submission functionality)? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: SOE (Arrow Styles) file submission mechanism
What would be the next step after a "patch" submission. Wouldn't that get it simply incorporated into the program? I'd like to see it downloadable by users, a la Templates. I'd also like, admittedly, credit for it, as it's a domain-specific thing for me. (In comparison, the Templates section is plastered with a bunch of posts of DVD label templates for Lulu.com, seemingly obviously an advertising ploy by them.)

Testing of new version of Apache OpenOffice
Hi, I have a huge OpenOffice calc "application" including many ods files with basic code and python code connected with each other. If you want me to test any upcoming versions of Apache OpenOffice in the future with my files that I have to see if anything seams out of the ordinary please send me download links of where I can download upcoming versions of Apache Openoffice and I will report any issues found. I primarily will test on Windows 10 but can also test on SparkyLinux if desired. I also would like to thank everyone of you maintaining Apache OpenOffice as Calc in LibreOffice is not an option for me. Too many times strange updates of LibreOffice have made my code useless so I have given up on it. With Apache OpenOffice my code just keeps running fine with every new release so far.

Review of the 4.1.2-patch1 MacOSX.README.txt file
Dennis Hamilton asked me to look at the 4.1.2-patch1 README file for Mac OSX. I have done so and include the following information. My test system info: OSX Version 10.11.6 "El Capitan" Hardware: Macbook Air (Late 2010) == (1) The text of the current MacOSX.README.txt file. https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1/binaries/MacOSX/MacOSX.README.txt 1. Make sure that OpenOffice is not running. 2. Open a terminal and unpack the downloaded file (e.g., with Archive Utility or WinZip Mac Edition) to an easily locatable path. 3. Open the Finder App - or another file manager of your choice. 4. Locate the installation path of OpenOffice (e.g., "/Applications/Utilities/OpenOffice4/program/"). 5. Rename the old file "libtl.dylib" to "libtl.dylib.original" to keep a backup. 6. Copy the new file from the unpacked Zip file to the installation path (e.g, "/Desktop/libtl.dylib" --> "/Applications/Utilities/OpenOffice4/program/"). === (2) Suggested updates to that file. 1. OK AS WRITTEN 2. Download the "libtl.dylib" file to the Downloads folder (or any other folder or to the Desktop) 2.1. Verify the download integrity: see UPDATE NEEDED below. 3. OK AS WRITTEN 4. Locate the installation path of OpenOffice (e.g., "/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program" 5. OK AS WRITTEN 6. Copy the new libtl.dylib file to the OpenOffice/Contents/program folder. (Administrator privileges needed.) In the terminal these commands will work. $ cd ~/Downloads $ sudo cp -v libtl.dylib /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program UPDATE NEEDED: need to provide the md5 and sha256 hash of the libtl.dylib file. Many Mac users do not have any experience with GnuPG or OpenPGP keys. However, the Mac comes with tools to verify md5 and sha256 hashes already installed. Those instructions can be added to the README. === (3) MacOSX instructions for how to update the dylib file without using a Terminal window. DIRECTIONS FOR UPDATING THE FILE WITHOUT USING A Terminal window. Note: Mac users can NOT check file integrity without using a terminal window. These instructions assume: (1) that the user account has Administrator privileges; and (2) that the file "libtl.dylib" was saved to the Downloads folder. 1. In the Finder select the Go menu on the Application menu bar (at the top of the screen) and open a window to the Downloads folder. 2. In the Finder open another Finder window and in the sidebar select the Applications folder. Hold down the "control" key and select the OpenOffice application. Select Show Package Contents from the drop-down menu. Open the Contents folder now displayed in the Finder window. Select and open the "program" folder displayed in the Finder window. Scroll through the list of files shown and find "libtl.dylib" Hold down the "control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file. Select Duplicate from the drop-down menu. ( a file named "libtl copy.dylib" is created ) Select the back button "<" from the Finder window top menu. ( the Finder displays the list of files and folders in the Contents folder ) 3. Now select the Finder window showing the "Downloads" folder contents. Hold down the "control" key and select the "libtl.dylib" file. Select 'Copy "libtl.dylib"' from the drop-down menu. Select the other Finder window showing the list of files in the Contents folder. Hold down the "control" key and select the "program" folder. Select "Paste Item" from the drop-down menu. A window appears with the message: An older item named "libtl.dylib" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you're moving? Select the "Replace" button. === I have tested the replacing the file both ways. AOO seems to start up without problem with the new file in place. Let me know how I can help further.

Re: Review of the 4.1.2-patch1 MacOSX.README.txt file
Kay, I have attached a ".txt" file that incorporates the changes suggested. Two items are *not* included. (1) There is a need to provide the md5 and sha256 hash of the libtl.dylib file. Many Mac users do not have any experience with GnuPG or OpenPGP keys. However, the Mac comes with tools to verify md5 and sha256 hashes already installed. Instructions on how to use them can be included in the README file if that is desirable. (2) Users who choose to use the Finder method of installing the new file do not have any way to check signatures or hashes without using the command line. Let me know what more help I can provide. Bill A This file contains two sets of instructions. The first (I) outlines how to install the new library file using a Terminal window and the command line. The second (II) outlines how to install the new library file using the Finder. I. These directions assume (1) familiarity with using the command line in a Terminal window; and (2) that the user has adminstrator privileges. I.1. Make sure that OpenOffice is not running. I.2. Download the "libtl.dylib" file to the Downloads folder (or any other folder or to the Desktop). I.3. Open the Finder App (or another file manager of your choice). I.4. Determine the installation path of the OpenOffice program files; (the default path is "/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program/"). I.5. Rename the old file "libtl.dylib" to "libtl.dylib.original" to keep a backup. I.6. Copy the new libtl.dylib file to the OpenOffice/Contents/program folder. (Administrator privileges needed.) In a terminal window these commands will accomplish the file copy. $ cd ~/Downloads $ sudo cp -v libtl.dylib /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/program II. Directions for updating the file without using a Terminal window. These instructions assume: (1) that the user account has Administrator privileges; and (2) that the file "libtl.dylib" was saved to the Downloads folder. II.1.

Starting Introduction to Contributing to Apache OpenOffice Module
Hi, My name is C L Rockwell commonly known as Rocky Rockwell. I am a 71 year old male that is very computer oriented. My brother and I used to construct computers (prior to Dell), test them, load them with software and sell them. I was the software expert where my brother was the hardware guy. We sort of cross-trained each other in each of our skills. I retired in 1996 after 33 years with AT&T. With AT&T, I was in engineering most of my career. The last 4 to 6 years, I was in tech support for my division. I helped engineers when they had a problem with their work stations. When we went to networked pcs, I taught the engineers with the software loaded on these computers. The software was a lot like Microsoft Office. There were applications like MS Word, Spreadsheet and database. The last year of my career, I was taught HTML (had 1 ½ hour training session) and I created an Intra-office web system that allowed tracking of major projects online. After I retired is when my brother and I started our little computer business in Tucson, Arizona. I am pretty well versed in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. Rocky
