LibreOffice Portable

Feature Request: Add Native Support for PortableApps Fonts in LibreOffice Portable

Hello,

I would like to propose a feature request regarding font portability in LibreOffice Portable.

According to the PortableApps documentation, users can place custom fonts in:

PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\fonts

This feature is extremely useful because it allows fonts to travel with the portable environment without requiring installation on the host operating system.

I started getting this error after updating to the latest version (25.8.5). The path is G:\Programs\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortablePrevious, and the file exists. If I delete the LibreOfficePortablePrevious folder, and replace it with the pre-update version, it works.

"LibreOffice Previous" can be opened, but not "LibreOffice Calc Previous" or "LibreOffice Writer Previous", etc.

Hi,

It seems that the Latest version of LibreOffice Portable 26.2.1 Multilingual-All does not include MSVCRT runtime.
In support page https://portableapps.com/support/libreoffice_portable , in "Modifications", it says "The portable version comes with its own MSVCRT runtime in order to work on systems without local installed runtime too".

Is it something missed or LibreOffice does not require MSVCRT runtime any more?

Thanks
Best regards

Hi,

I installed jPortable in CommonFiles using the instructions provided.
I went to Tools -> Options -> Advanced and choose the Oracle Java there.

When opening any table in Base database I get Java runtime error and the table does not open. It seems that the jPortabile is either old or corrupt and cannot be used with LibreOffice.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Hello together,

I found out that if the Installation path of the Portable App Directory is longer than 44 Characters a libre office installation that belongs to that Portable App Directory crashes right at the start of application. Hence, the workaround is quite obvious but was a hard lesson to find the cause of the crash.
Reproducable on:
Windows 11 (Version 24H2, OS Build 261006901, 64-bit Edition)
.NET Framework: 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.8 / .NET Core: - / .NET: 8 / Java: 1.8 x86,1.8 x64

The portable version of LO Calc doesn't seem to do the Jumbo spreadsheet experimental feature. Experimental features can be turned on in the main LO app, but calc doesn't have the option in the UI to enable the Jumbo sheet size. If you enable it in the advanced settings it doesn't honor it dies at 1M rows.

I can't seem to find anything that lists this as an removed feature or as known limitation.

Any insight would be appreciated. I have some ppl that really can only deal with anything resembling data when presented as a spreadsheet.

Summary of the situation can be seen here: Are Releases of LibreOffice at Version 25.8 and Above for Windows Now Only 64-bit?

For John to note, if wanting to pack LibreOffice 32-bit for the 25.8 series then you need to go LibreOffice download archive and get the 32-bit implementation there.

Hope this helps.

Description: I recently downloaded LibreOffice version 25.2.3.0 Portable MultilingualStandard (*.paf.exe). I am running Windows 10 (x64).
Today I ran the EXE file and chose to install to C:\Program Files (portable)\LibreOfficePortable Note that while C:\Program Files is a system folder C:\Program Files (portable) is a folder that I created myself, with no special properties.

Hi John,

If I were you I would forget about packaging LibreOffice 25.8.0 it has a bug where it consistently crashes if the user attempts to utilise the 'Tabbed' Interface. Bug report on the issue can be seen here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167956 If you look at Comment 7 in the report you will see that the bug will be fixed in LibreOffice 25.8.1

Trying to download 25.2.3. The download times out.

I went directly to SourceForge. The files are missing from the LibreOffice folder
