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.

On language selection

Submitted by Geddich Nixan on March 30, 2011 - 3:17pm

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?

Installing the Libre Office Help

Submitted by Barley on March 30, 2011 - 12:02pm

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.

[Fixed] Experimental language Selection

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

Question on paths ref Java

Submitted by HarryR on March 14, 2011 - 8:09am

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
