LibreOffice Portable

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:

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I see in Outdated Official Portable Applications that you are currently building a "LibreOffice Legacy 7.5.9.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

Hi,
on LO 7.6 everythings working fine, but after updating to LO 24.2.0 I have trouble with edit the options. I try to edit the options under "extra" > "options". Then my system runs und runs and runs - nothing happens. Ok - I close the app manually. After restarting LO I got a message about the crashing. I choose "safe mode" and LO started. When running the "options" again, the app hangs again.
My first idea was a wrong java version, but I installed Java 1.8 in 32 bit from Oracle. (regular I use the java apps from zulu). It doesn't help...

Any idea's ???

If a Windows device has regular (non-portable) LibreOffice installed, can one also install and use LibreOffice portable? Or will this cause problems for one or both versions?

The goal is to be able to easily use 2 different versions of LibreOffice without any fuss.

My biggest concern is that if the portable version of LibreOffice is cleaning up all the LibreOffice registry keys it uses, that it will delete the registry keys that the installed version expects.

Also, does the Windows version matter for the answer to this question?
