LibreOffice Portable

Hello there,

Already 4 hours passed since started the installer and still the installation process of the "full/custom version" is not finised on my 32Gb Corsair... actually about a quarter seems done already.

I guess I will wait a little bit longer and kill the process, make the install on a hdd partition and copy the files over to the memory stick.

I downloaded the recent version of LibreOfficePortabel (3.3.2) and thought it was a great feature that I could choose which languages should be installed. The "one or all" option (i.e. either take only one language or take all of them) was very unsatisfactory for me. However I was quite disappointed to see that the new language selection only offers the options "one or two or all". Would it be possible to include a selection window in the installer where the user could choose those languages he needs?

The Libre Office Help file is provided at the libreoffice.org site as a separate download.

Though it is a separate (not portable - i.e. there is an uninstall entry created) executable, it works fine with the portable Libre Office, if it is installed to the \LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\ folder.

Thanks for the experimental language selection, it's great.

Here are some folders/files that LOP missed or where users could manually make some careful adjustments to slim the install down (my base language is "Deutsch"):

App\DefaultData\settings\user\config\
App\libreoffice\Basis\presets\config\
App\libreoffice\Basis\program\resource\
App\libreoffice\Basis\share\autocorr
App\libreoffice\Basis\share\basic\Depot
App\libreoffice\Basis\share\registry
App\libreoffice\Basis\share\registry\res
App\libreoffice\Basis\share\template\wizard\letter\
App\libreoffice\program\resource

The LibreOffice installer doesn't run at all on my system after several times downloading it. Message: "Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media."

Other downloads from PortableApps work just fine.

So what's the problem, and how can I solve it?

I recently installed LibreOffice in a private net on a UNC PC (FreeNAS). Now it always tells me that it cant start on a UNC path. I tried net use - nothing.

Can anybody help me?

The LibreOffice Portable FAQ says that :
"jPortable, the portable Java runtime, can be installed in one of two locations:

* X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java (Highly Recommended as other apps can use it)*
* with LibreOffice Portable installed to X:\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable
... "

Does this mean that, if I have LibreOffice Portable installed in :
C:\_My\Apps\PrtPACom\LibreOfficePortable

then it will automatically find jPortable in :
C:\_My\Apps\PrtPACom\CommonFiles\Java

LIBREOFFICE COMES WITH A QUICKSTARTER when is installed normally on a computer. Is there a way, like a .exe or .bat shortcut to activate the quickstarter? I would put it as "start automatically" in the portable apps launcher!

Is anyone working on portable version of the 3.3.2 RC1 release candidate/beta? I've really liked using portableapps.com versions of other betas and release candidates as a safer testing platform for trying out new versions.

Thanks in advance!

The Locale setting in Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages is not
saved when the locale is different from the user interface language. Every time LibreOffice is started, the selected locale setting is reset
back to the same language as the setting for "User interface".

E.g. if I set the user interface language to "English (USA)" and the locale to
"Swedish (Sweden)", the locale will be set to "English (USA)" the next time I
start LibreOffice.
