LOP Calc v3.3.0 german: Problem: format a cell for a date

Submitted by knipsmoped on January 31, 2011 - 1:45pm

I tested LibreOffice Calc Portable 3.3.0. When I started LOP Calc i got a info to install JRE. But there is Java 6 Update 23 on my system (no portable)!
If a cell is formated for a date in "TT.MM.JJ" format (like "31.12.10") the date is not displayed correctly. It is displayed as "TT.12.JJ". If I change the format to "DD.MM.YY" it displays correctly, but this "user-defined format" is not available in the list of date formats.
With the installed version of LibreOffice the date is displays correctly. So I think it is only a problem of the portable version.
Have anyone a idea?

LibreOffice too slow for flash drive use?

Submitted by NCL on January 28, 2011 - 9:42am

Running LOP on flash drive is too slow for use. Is anybody else seeing this? Is anybody able to run this on flash drive w/o lagging - Typing, toolbars, menu items all take up to about 5 sec to respond. I started mentioning this in this post in this node: https://portableapps.com/node/26448, but thought this may need it's own topic.

Spaces in folder names

Submitted by saronno on January 28, 2011 - 5:39am

After installing LibreOfficePortable in the very same location, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Portables", where OOoP320 is still installed and running (so there is no "long paths" problem) together with many other portable applications, I found out it refused to start because of the spaces in the path.

I momentarily bypassed the obstacle buy moving the LOPortable folder in C:\, but this is not a place where I like to put applications.

Localized help packs?

Submitted by christian.kissing on January 27, 2011 - 3:48pm

I was delightet to see that - just as LibreOffice itself - LibreOffice Portable now comes as a multilingual install. Saves a lot of hassle diving for the right package.

Are there any plans to pack localized help packs in a portable installer as well?

So far I've helped myself by a) saving the original .xsl files in
[portabledrive]\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\Basis\help\
into a zip archive then copying the contents of
[systemdrive]\Program Files\LibreOffice 3\Basis\help\
into that folder.
