Update 25.2.2 stalls LibreOffice from opening

Submitted by bruce2 on April 22, 2025 - 5:20pm

I was automatically updated to V25.2.2 in Libre Office Portable this morning. I know this because when I tried to open a .docx folder, it stalled and I was brought to your update page at https://whatsnew.libreoffice.org/25.2.2/. I didn't realize this portable version updates itself.
Anyway, now when I click on either a .doc or .docx file I have, I see a flash of something I can't make out for a millisecond, and it takes the file roughly 10-12 seconds to open. Before the update, the file opened immediately.

[Fixed] LibreOffice Portable 25.2.1 (Multilingual-All) doesn't have all available languages in installer

Submitted by noki on March 24, 2025 - 4:17am

The list of possible installation languages in LibreOffice 25.2.1 Portable MultilingualAll is missing quite a few languages like Dutch. This removes the method of just installing the selected language plus English (using the "Remove Extra Languages" during installation)

Can't install Grammalecte extension

Submitted by WillZ on January 21, 2025 - 10:50am

Hi,

I've tried many times to install Grammalecte extension and I alway got an error "an error occured during file oppening"

I've also tried WittingTools and got almost the same (with a bit more precisions) :
an error occurred during file opening at
C:/cygwin64/home/buildslave/source/libo-core/ucbhelper/source/provider/simpleioerrorrequest.cxx:35"

I had tried on "fresh and still" 24.8.2.4 version, but even a backward to 24.3.2.2 version gave the same.

What is the Situation With LibreOffice Fresh and Still?

Submitted by Abraxian on January 9, 2025 - 12:13pm

Hi John,

I see at the Outdated Official Portable Applications thread that you have this notice posted: LibreOffice 24.8.3 [Fresh+Still] (John building...)

As in that thread you said that you were contacting LibreOffice I now assume they have been back in touch with you and explained the roadmap for how to deal with Fresh and Still in the new version numbering scheme. Would you please say what the advice was?

English Spellchecker not working, hunspell not listed in options

Submitted by MaximilianKohler on December 29, 2024 - 9:37pm

I read a bunch of discussions and tutorials and none fixed my problem.

English (USA) is the selected language, and everything else under "Options -> language settings" seems to be in order OTHER THAN hunspell is missing under "Options -> language settings -> writing aids".

A search for "hunspell" gives many files in \PortableApps\LibreOfficePortablePrevious\App\libreoffice\share\extensions\dict-en. No actual file names with "hunspell", but "hunspell" is in many files there.
