Background Process

Submitted by FreddyH on April 23, 2012 - 3:35pm

Situation:
I'm using the normal LibreOffice installment (background) as a document converter and "print spooler" using -headles -p -pt and so on.

It is called from "my application", which uses a document queue. The normal executable can be run as blocking or non-blocking in the background. For my use it needs to be blocking, each document in the queue is to be handled fifo. This is required for my application.
The drawback is that i also use LibreOffice for my day to day business.

Question:
So i installed LibreOfficePortable for this task. But:

[Fixed] Extensions not saved during update

Submitted by Bindlestiff on April 16, 2012 - 5:09pm

I had been using LO 3.5.0 and had installed the extension "fixed values for calc". When I upgraded to 3.5.2 the extension was no longer there and I needed to reinstall it. I have updated USB flash drives on both an XP machine and a Win 7, 64 machine with the same results. Is this to be expected? Can I prevent it?

I tried searching but didn't see anything relevant to this.

Update option should be disabled by default

Submitted by kaum on April 3, 2012 - 10:54am

At this moment the Search for Online Update option is activated, but LibreOfficePortable should be updated by PortableApss, or am I wrong? I wonder if it would be possible and be more comfortable if the Online Update option would be disabled by default in LibreOfficePortable?

Or if it is possible to redirect it to a portableapps-Server?

Best regards,

Is it OK now to associate Libre Office files (.odt) with the Libre Office portable app?

I know it was shunned earlier, because by doing that, your associating the file with the the app and not the launcher, but I read in the forums that there were plans to integrate file associations with portable apps. I wasn't sure what the status of that was.

how-to enable offline help

Submitted by kensai on March 24, 2012 - 8:25am

for all peers, here is a quick how-to on how to use the offline version of help, in those cases when online access is not possible or severely limited.

1) download the corresponding help file from the LO-website, the version has to match your installed language and version number.
2) install the files locally
3) copy the local files (typically something like c:\Programs\LibreOffice\*) to ..\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\Basis\* and overwrite the target files. At the time of this writing, the folders are:
"help" "presets" "program" and "share".
4) uninstall the local help pack

I am getting an error while trying to install a free extension called EuroOffice Sparkline. The extension is listed in the OpenOffice extension catalog and also here:
