Path length breaks spell check in Libre Fresh and Previous

Submitted by jxf11 on May 14, 2023 - 1:48pm

I was editing a document with Libre Previous Writer and tried to turn on spell checking that underlines mis-spelled words in red.

I was unable to activate the feature and in the course of troubleshooting discovered that both Libre Fresh and Previous can not underline mis-spelled words in red if the install path is 58 characters long or greater.

OpenOffice underlined mis-spelled words fine with the default install path of 64 characters on my system.

I have the PortableAppsPlatform folder installed in C:\Portable which only adds 8 characters to the total length.

Standard edition may have some locale-dependent files from non-included locales?

I just compared LO Standard with all, and I see some files in the standard version, which looks like locale-dependent from non-included locales for me, but they are still here. So the question is: am I wrong, or they are really locale-dependent, but there are some other reasons, why they are not removed?

I am talking about following folders:

\share\autocorr
\share\fingerprint
\share\numbertext
\share\wizards

LibreOffice 7.4.5 spelling issue with dict-de-de-frami-2017-01-12.oxt

Submitted by ulrich-w on March 29, 2023 - 4:48am

In my working environment I cannot install software, so I set up LibreOffice inside my Documents folder.
Unfortunately the German dictionary seems missing, so I tried to install dict-de-de-frami-2017-01-12.oxt.
However that never worked: Installation begins, but aborts, and the result is some half-way installed German dictionary.
Interestingly I copied the portable folder from Documents to Downloads, and then I could install the extension, and I verified it's working.

There are only old versions

LibreOffice Portable:

Fresh: should be 7.5.1 (from 29 March 2023: 7.5.2) (at now 7.4.5: as still)
Still: should be 7.4.6 (at now 7.4.5: as fresh)
Legacy: should be 7.3.7 (at now 5.4.7)

I want to download "still" (7.4.6). (I already downloaded 7.3.7, when this was the "still" version: so, 7.3.7 Portable exists, do not compile).

Submitted by rbon on February 28, 2023 - 12:46pm

Hi,
I have installed Java Portable (jPortable 32 bit) and I have accepted installation location:
--> PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java
then I have launch LibreOffice 7.4.5.1 - Multilingual-Standard, and I have enabled Java runtime:
--> Tools\Options\Advanced --> ticked 'Oracle Corporation ver. 1.8.0_361' --> Apply --> OK -> for setting up location then I have restarted, but Java RE remain unticked.
Why?
This had already happened with the latest builds.

LIbreoffice Still and Fresh have been switched

Submitted by erichsito on February 14, 2023 - 9:34am

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the update for my Libreoffice Still, yesterday after my regular backup.
Today I found out that my vLookup to other files stopped working. Searching for the version number I came to see that I have now 7.4.5 (supposedly "Still") but the version for the "Fresh" type on the download page is 7.4.3 ?
Seems the have been switched and the later version (7.4.5) should be the "fresh" one ...

LibreOffice online installer

Submitted by rbon on December 3, 2022 - 11:43am

Hi,
It's possible to create an online installer for LibreOffice?
The problem with an online installer is that it must extract the content of an LibreOffice installer, for example 'LibreOffice_7.4.3_Win_x86.msi'.
I have found a tool for extract all .MSI files and it's name is LessMSI.
