LibreOffice Portable

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.

If i use the pa.com suite to install libreoffice portable, the dictionaries are not working(i dont remove the extra lang in the setup)

Im using a folder named portables, inside that another folder named portableapps in wich all portableapps arei installed(containing the start portableapps and document folders).

If download and install outside of pa.com suite in the root directory of any drive(ej. c:\libreofficeportable) all dictionaries installed work fine.

Hi John,

Hi,

You have been listed as building this for ages now. I think you should just abandon the effort, 24.2.7 (Still) is due to be released on 31 October (if they release to schedule), so little point in wasting your further energies on 24.2.6.

Hope this helps.

The current version of LibreOffice is 24.8.0.
https://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable is stuck at version 24.2.3.
And https://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable-versions/ tells:

No Portable Version (MultilingualStandard) is currently available

and

When LibreOffice has an uninstalled update available it shows an icon of a globe at the top right of the screen to indicate the update is available. When you click on this you are taken to the LibreOffice web site where you will (if you are trusting and innocent) download and install the full version of LibreOffice on the PC you happen to be sitting at.

This icon is visible whether you are running the portable or the original version.

Hello John,

Regarding LibreOffice 24.2.5:

If you look at the LibreOffice download webpage you will notice that LibreOffice Still isn't there any more. I don't know if that situation is temporary or permanent. If I look at the LibreOffice Blog for 24.2.5 for some indication of what is going on then there is only this paragraph on the issue:

Hi,

I can't start LibreOffice from the PortableApps.com Plataform. It displays the splash screen, no error message, and doesn't open, this is for any of the apps of the suite.

The problem has been reported in previous topics:
https://portableapps.com/node/67042
https://portableapps.com/node/68530

After about four days of attempting to get an updated copy of LO it still repeatedly fails to install. I did managed to install the alternative but prefer to be on the stable release.

This may be the same issue as noted here

Hi John,

I see in Outdated Official Portable Applications that you are currently building a "LibreOffice Legacy 7.5.9.

This is confusing. As far as I am aware there are two 'editions' of LibreOffice — there is LibreOffice Fresh and LibreOffice Still. So what is LibreOffice 'Legacy'? Is this something new?
