LibreOffice Portable

I am getting unacceptably sluggish response time to such simple things as menu tracking on LibreOfficePortable running from the new harddrive on my equally new Windows 8 64-bit laptop. Other portable apps don't have this problem. I even get acceptable responsiveness from FirefoxPortable even though it is running without a cache.

I have installed LibreOffice on my harddrive at C:\Portable\PortableApps from the PortableApps start menu, so everything should be standard setup. When I try to start LibreOffice, either from the PortableApps launcher or by double-clicking the LibreOfficePortable.exe directly it often fails to launch a user interface window. When it fails I have to use the taskmanager to manually kill any LibreOfficePortable tasks (there is always at least one) and then it usually works.

Hi,

LibreOffice can start with --invisible parameter (here is the manual: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/libreoffice.1.html )

I start the D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\LibreOfficePortable.exe with --invisible parameter. I check from Task Manager of Windows, it is running properly. But if I open any of LibreOffice executable (Writer or Math or Calc or Base...), it gives this warning:

Another instance of LibreOffice is already running. Please close other instances of LibreOffice before launching LibreOffice Portable.

Hi all,
Quick question,

Any way to have LO 3.6.3 upon opening a new blank page default to View Print Layout?

Tnx a bunch,

Sue

Have installed the current update over the previous one, all went ok, now LO tells me it is version 3.6.2.2 (update package is called 3.6.3)
Is that correct?

Hi all

I'm interested in collaborating with Portableapps to make available a portable version of the last stable version for each branch. These portable versions would be very useful to check for regressions in LibreOffice.

What do I need to do to update 3.5.5 portable to 3.5.7.2 (the latest and possibly last version in the 3.5 branch)?

Cheers,
Pedro

Today (5 Nov) I went to the PA LibreOffice page, to download the latest version. There are two download buttons "Download 3.6.3" and "3.6.3 (All Languages)".

However BOTH buttons have the following text on the second line: "for Windows, multilingual". Presumably, only the "All Languages" button is multilingual? The other one should be "English only"? Otherwise, both of the buttons should point to the same download files! In which case, the size of the downloads should be the same (and you wouldn't need 2 buttons)!

Confused...

I'd like to make use of the portable version of LO. Problem is, it's slow to the point of unusable on a standard USB stick. If I loaded it onto a high speed CF card (for example), would performance be greatly improved?

I just attempted an install of LibreOfficePortable_3.6.1.1_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe into an older installation of LibreOfficePortable.

Here's what happened:

1) All of my settings were ignored. Good thing I always backup the current setup before installing a new one so all I have to do is delete 3.6.1.1.

2) All "normal" languages were installed in addition to US English. No option to remove unwanted languages.

Anyone able to virtualize LibreOffice 3.6.1?

I have tried to following:
Sequence in XP -> creating package works and prelaunch launch works ok, but when I stream the package to client the launch fails.
I get the following error on launch:
"LibreOffice 3.6 Fatal Error
Application launch doesn't work. An error occurred during file opening"

Sequence in Win7 -> Install goes ok, but when trying to open software the launch hangs and I get the following error on launch:
"LibreOffice 3.6 has stopped working"
