LibreOffice Portable

[Fixed] LibreOffice insists another version is running

Submitted by pwright2 on July 10, 2011 - 11:14pm

Running under Win7 32 bit.

I have been using LibreOffice previously. Have probably had Platform do an update since my last run. Anyhow, now any attempt to start LibreOffice gets a dialog box claiming another instance is already starting up and will not start. I've looked at running processes and find nothing related to Libre/Open/Star office. Even after a fresh reboot I get the same result.

I'm going to do a download and reinstall but am curious as to whether there is an answer.

1. The Spanish language is installed that includes spelling correction, but does not include synonyms: How do I install this?

[Fixed] LibreOffice Portable can't open more than 2 documents being passed in

Submitted by Andy Evans on July 8, 2011 - 10:35am

I have recently upgraded to LO 3.3.3 Portable. I am having a strange problem opening docs. I have .ods and .odt extensions pointing to the LibreOfficePortable launcher, so when I double-click on a spreadsheet or a database it opens it through the launcher.

OK, I can have several spreadsheets open at once no problem. If, however, I close one of the spreadsheets then try opening another one, it displays a message box:

"Another instance of Libreoffice Portable is starting. lease wait for it to start before launching again."

Problems with LibreOffice

Submitted by astaroth63 on July 7, 2011 - 7:37pm

I've installed LibreOffice Portable in Brazilian Portuguese. When I launch it from PortableApps Suite, the language change to Portugal Portuguese. This doesn't happen when I launch it directly from the folder: it appears correctly in Brazilian Portuguese. Can anybody tell me what's the problem?

Besides, my F-Secure AV detected Gen:Variant.Kazy.21485 virus in

..\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\URE\bin\regview.exe
..\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\URE\bin\regmerge.exe
..\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\program\unoinfo.exe

Next version to be released?

Submitted by Jackz on June 13, 2011 - 9:27am

I was just curious as to what the next version of LibreOfficePortable will be. Can we expect a 3.4.x version next, or is the intention that the portable version will stick to the 3.3.x releases? Also (probably asking the impossible) can someone indicate more or less when we can expect the next portable version? Just a rough guess (accurate to within a month) would suffice.

OpenOffice files broken in LibreOffice

I've got a file using indentation and tabs, created with OpenOffice Portable 3.2.0, the latest portable version currently available. The layout is fine in OpenOffice. When I open that file in LibreOffice Portable 3.3.2, the layout is broken.

Is this a general problem in LibreOffice, or is it an issue of the portable version?

I created a small file that demonstrates this problem. The file is self-explaining. Unfortunately, I did not find a way to upload it. So, if someone wants to take a look at it, just send me a message, and I will mail it.
