Re: [tdf-discuss] Macro Difficulties
Thank you very much, Eduardo and Christian. I guess I misread that post I linked to, because it left me with the impression that creating those properties couldn't be done in regular VB. Now if only I can find a way to convert my tab-separated .txt file to a comma-separated .csv file, I think all would be golden. I tried using VB to open the text file, read from it, convert each line, and write to an output file. Unfortunately, on Windows, the output is garbage. From what I can tell, it looks like LibreOffice's LINE INPUT command reads in garbage from the source file, probably because of an error in Unicode conversion. Could LibreOffice VBA call an extension written in Python? Converting TSV to CSV should be trivial, and I'm betting a Python extension would do it flawlessly. -- Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hmm. Either I'm completely missing the point here, or you do :-) With the properties, you explicitly set the filter to the spreadsheet one (FilterName), and with the other (FilterOptions), you define how the file is structured - you can configure what separator is used, what column types they have. Just read the linked wiki page.

I agree that one should never blindly copy anything MS is doing, especially around radical UI changes which can be disruptive.

Hmmm, that sounds interesting. To be honest, I liked the image I picked, but I think that when starting, it makes sense to consider other designs. If it turns out you don't want a "radically different toolbar", then my proposal is a bad idea. Otherwise, you could build a reasonable experiment in a few months. I would be excited to see what you all came up with, perhaps even two designs / modes ;-) Warm regards, -Keith -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Is there a bug about this? Is the handbook to be built by the doc team? It seems like a lack of samples / handbook could be a big reason for the stalled pipeline of Python patches.
