LibreOffice Portable

anybody else has same problem? whenever i try to update
past few days (today is dec09), libre offc gets stuck
at 16% - always and exactly there.

greetings - heinz -

I just installed the latest PortableApps LibreOffice suite (v. 3.6.4.3) to my flash drive and I'd like to install offline help to get up to speed. The 8.2MB file connected to the regular installation doesn't work.

This may sound stupid,but I just loaded LibreOffice Portable and found I couldn't open any of the data files created by an earlier version Of LibreOffice 3.6.3 by clicking on the on the files themselves. I can only open them by opening the correct LibreOffice application by opening the application that created it and then then opening the file that has the data.

I have loaded everything on a thumbdrive applications and data files.

I'm using Windows XP SP3. What am I missing?

Starting my LibreOffice today, I noticed that the small printed text at the bottom of the splash screen reading "THe Document Foundation & PortableApps.com" gets overprinted by the messages whizzing by about updating dictionaries etc.
Maybe one of the 2 could be moved a bit? It just looks ugly.

how come Custom.nsh refers to:
"$EXEDIR\Data\settings\OpenOfficePortableSettings.ini"?

I was doing a zap to regain some space and noticed that LO has a whole load of dicts (dict-de, dict-pl, et al) that I don't need. I have just UN-installed and reinstalled it and they are still there. They can't be removed as extensions from within LO either. Deleting them by hand doesn't make LO cry. Am I choosing the wrong installer?

When you go in the options and click on libreOffice and then on Path and you edit the Temp File in that way that you use the Temp File of LibreOffice on the USB-Stick, everything is ok. But if you close LibreOffice and restart it and verify the Path of the Temporary file it is again on C. In portable OpenOffice 2.4.0 for example, it does not switch after the restart to C.

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.
