[Closed] LibreOffice doesn't launch after update

Submitted by bango on May 23, 2023 - 12:23pm

Portableapps platform suggested to update LibreOffice, so I did. Now LibreOffice doesn't launch. It displays the splash screen briefly but nothing happens after that. I'm on Windows 10 desktop. I don't remember which version was the previous LibreOffice, and I don't know which version is the current. Any tips?

Path length breaks spell check in Libre Fresh and Previous

Submitted by jxf11 on May 14, 2023 - 1:48pm

I was editing a document with Libre Previous Writer and tried to turn on spell checking that underlines mis-spelled words in red.

I was unable to activate the feature and in the course of troubleshooting discovered that both Libre Fresh and Previous can not underline mis-spelled words in red if the install path is 58 characters long or greater.

OpenOffice underlined mis-spelled words fine with the default install path of 64 characters on my system.

I have the PortableAppsPlatform folder installed in C:\Portable which only adds 8 characters to the total length.

Standard edition may have some locale-dependent files from non-included locales?

Submitted by Anton_D on April 11, 2023 - 5:32am

I just compared LO Standard with all, and I see some files in the standard version, which looks like locale-dependent from non-included locales for me, but they are still here. So the question is: am I wrong, or they are really locale-dependent, but there are some other reasons, why they are not removed?

I am talking about following folders:

\share\autocorr
\share\fingerprint
\share\numbertext
\share\wizards

LibreOffice 7.4.5 spelling issue with dict-de-de-frami-2017-01-12.oxt

Submitted by ulrich-w on March 29, 2023 - 4:48am

In my working environment I cannot install software, so I set up LibreOffice inside my Documents folder.
Unfortunately the German dictionary seems missing, so I tried to install dict-de-de-frami-2017-01-12.oxt.
However that never worked: Installation begins, but aborts, and the result is some half-way installed German dictionary.
Interestingly I copied the portable folder from Documents to Downloads, and then I could install the extension, and I verified it's working.

There are only old versions

LibreOffice Portable:

Fresh: should be 7.5.1 (from 29 March 2023: 7.5.2) (at now 7.4.5: as still)
Still: should be 7.4.6 (at now 7.4.5: as fresh)
Legacy: should be 7.3.7 (at now 5.4.7)

I want to download "still" (7.4.6). (I already downloaded 7.3.7, when this was the "still" version: so, 7.3.7 Portable exists, do not compile).

[Fixed] LibreOffice 7.4.5/7.5.2 does not remenber Java location

Submitted by rbon on February 28, 2023 - 12:46pm

Hi,
I have installed Java Portable (jPortable 32 bit) and I have accepted installation location:
--> PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java
then I have launch LibreOffice 7.4.5.1 - Multilingual-Standard, and I have enabled Java runtime:
--> Tools\Options\Advanced --> ticked 'Oracle Corporation ver. 1.8.0_361' --> Apply --> OK -> for setting up location then I have restarted, but Java RE remain unticked.
Why?
This had already happened with the latest builds.

LIbreoffice Still and Fresh have been switched

Submitted by erichsito on February 14, 2023 - 9:34am

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the update for my Libreoffice Still, yesterday after my regular backup.
Today I found out that my vLookup to other files stopped working. Searching for the version number I came to see that I have now 7.4.5 (supposedly "Still") but the version for the "Fresh" type on the download page is 7.4.3 ?
Seems the have been switched and the later version (7.4.5) should be the "fresh" one ...
