Upgraded to LO 5.1.3.2

#1

Post by Jerry3904 » Thu Jun 02, 2016 11:01 am

Got "LibreOffice Fresh" directly from the LO site because of a number of problems I was running into with 5.2.1.2 (I think that was it), especially save-as dialog box not recognizing mounted data partition which was a royal PITA. GUI automatic settings seem to be working much better, which is nice since I use this application so much.

Yes, I prefer to install the original.
There is still a hard freeze in Calc when resizing an image,
but the fix is kind of like Hee Haw --"Don't do that!"

I hate that default (not using any mounted fuse filesystems). I believe it also affects our libreoffice 4.3 as shipped. (see this bug report from alpha 4, along with a fix http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 31#p367631) It also affects samba shares depending on how they are mounted.

The fresh version 5.1.3.x does in fact make the connection OOTB.

yeah, that's what I figured. the ubuntu version does as well. AFAICT, debian messes with the desktop file when they package it for their repos.

No, click on the little link for other versions to get the deb.

Thanks, got it now. Didn't see the deb first time I clicked. ( Have to clean my specs.)

No, you're doing very well.
LibO page is super dense.
An incredible amount of info piled on top of one another.
