LibreOffice Writer: Please add "Delete Page" Feature

Submitted by jonathan578 on September 26, 2015 - 11:32pm

Would you please add a "Delete Page" / "Add Page" feature to Writer? I find it frustrating that I cannot delete unwanted blank pages, especially after creating tables or typing extra lines of text that extend almost to the margin at the bottom of the page. I have to either modify the table on the current page or delete several lines of type. This feature is available in Impress and Draw, and the flexibility is very much appreciated. A couple of times, after I have converted documents to PDF, the unwanted pages would be sent to the printer as well.

Request to integrate TreeLine as Portable App

Submitted by whate_p on September 19, 2015 - 4:13am

I would like to see Treeline http://www.treeline.bellz.org/ added to the PortableApps collection. It has much more functionality than other outliners (such as CherryTree - which is also great) as fields in the nodes can be set up to allow it to function as a portable database. It can run portably already and is open source, but it would be good to have it packaged as a PAF so it can be integrated into the portableapps menu.

Instant Accessibility settings for Disabled

Submitted by K-dex on September 9, 2015 - 11:28am

I have an idea for software.
The software when inserted into a computer, instantly changes the accessibility settings on the computer to preset ones in the program.
Making it easier for the disabled to use computers. Rather than search through settings over and over again. Then these can be used on almost every computer.

Thank you for considering.

TeXmacs - free wysiwyw editor for mathematics

Submitted by rbon on August 31, 2015 - 1:29pm

GNU TeXmacs from Wikipedia:
"GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific word processor and typesetting component of the GNU Project. It was inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs, though it shares no code with those programs. TeXmacs does use TeX fonts.[3] It is written and maintained by Joris van der Hoeven. The program produces structured documents with a WYSIWYW (what you see is what you want) user interface. New document styles can be created by the user. The editor provides high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts for publishing professional looking documents."

LightTable Code Editor

Submitted by Wickster on August 28, 2015 - 4:40pm

The app is fairly new but it is open-source. It's a lot like Brackets and Atom.io than it is to Notepad++ though. I've requested Atom Editor before, but I'm now starting to realize that Atom might be a lot harder to make portable as in their forum, they're having a tough time as well.

I hope LightTable could be more easier to make portable...I hope. It is a very nice looking editor with a very nice set of customization to it.
