Noticed a redirect loop on the help.libreoffice.org website, but failed to find an appropriate address or page to report it (except for Bugzilla, which requires an account, and I see no "project" for the website there). Noticed a Mastodon contact though, maybe this will work. Or maybe somebody on Mastodon will point to an appropriate place to report #LibreOffice website issues? Either way, it should be better to write here than to ignore.
As another minor website issue report, icons are broken if pages are not allowed to set custom fonts. Some contrast ratios (e.g., in the footer) are very low, some elements (e.g., operating system choice on the "download" page) do not fit into the areas dedicated for them and overflow awkwardly if minimum font size is set (to 16, for instance). Some content (e.g., on <https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/templates-and-extensions/>) is simply unavailable with JS off, while with JS on it is just hidden behind an unnecessary click.
Cleaned up my #Xfce menu, surprised I hadn't added the settings apps to the settings manager since I last wiped. Also, will be forever confused as to why applications in 'settings' don't automatically get added to the settings manager. Found a few old packages I could remove, including most of #libreoffice as I only use Calc and Writer.
I have often wondered why #LibreOffice isn't more popular. Today I tried a very simple design with #Impress. Basically three rounded rectangles with texts of different alignments. Really nothing fancy.
I gave up in frustration after 20 minutes when rendered text alignments would not match the object's settings no matter what I try.
For a relatively new #foss project, I would start writing bug reports. For something as mature as LibreOffice, if such basic features don't work, it's not for me.
Today I took part in the @libreitalia conference in the amazing Monte San Vito (AN). It has been great to meet the #LibreOffice Italian Community and talk about #publiccode and how to get active in the next #europeanelections. See you next time! @tommi
Did you know that #LibreOffice has a tabbed user interface option? Make sure you're using the latest release, LibreOffice 24.2, to get the most from it! (And you can find it in the menu under View > User Interface...) #foss#opensource#freesoftware
The state of Schleswig-Holstein in #Germany has renewed their de-Microsoft efforts by announcing that they will be switching the state administration's approximately 30,000 employee's PCs to #FLOSS solutions and moving towards “digitally sovereign IT workplaces”.
This was agreed upon by the state's cabinet, who have decided to replace Microsoft Office with #LibreOffice as the first of six key pillars that are part of their digitally sovereign IT workplace plan.
Found an interesting #LibreOffice Calc scrolling performance bug report in Bugzilla some days ago, that was reported to be more visible with HiDPI screens, so tonight I grabbed a 4K laptop with Wayland and ran #sysprof to try to capture at least partial performance profile information on this issue: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154602#c16
@libreoffice I've been using #LibreOffice for many years. Only when I'm forced I use another office suite, and that did not happen in the last 2.5 years.
¿Usas #LibreOffice y encuentras un defecto, algo que no funciona, algo que se puede mejorar?
En vez de dar pataletas y hacer ravietas, te invitamos a reportar el problema en nuestro sistema exprofeso para ello 1. También puedes apoyar con donaciones al proyecto 2. El software libre es mucho más que tener algo "gratis" a la mano, considera seriamente involucrarte en uno de los proyectos más importantes que tenemos en el ecosistema.
Today, I had to fill in a #PDF form to send to my insurer. I opened it with #GNOME Document Viewer and filled in the various fields without any problem 🙂
Unfortunately, at the end of the document, we have to write our name and sign, but the application doesn't offer any options for adding text and inserting an image 😬
I OFTEN use #Gimp for editing PDF (I lose less time in a lot of use cases).
I did, for instance, to mask or blur some parts of official documents I had to send to an administration this week.
