![]() ![]() Additionally, the Remote file open/save dialogue from LibreOffice Vanilla 5.1 has been backported, so that this useful functionality is also included. Now there are style previews in the sidebar and there is image cropping, table management, conditional formatting (in Calc) and more. Many of the improvements are under the hood, but the Mac version of Collabora Office 5.0 also significantly improved the User Interface. Changes from 4.4 to 5.0Ī lot of changes have been made. Redesigned toolbars, menus, rulers, and dialogues make these powerful additions more attractive and efficient to use. Collabora Office is the enterprise-ready version LibreOffice Vanilla, for users seeking professional stability and support options and combines Collabora’s latest compatibility and document integrity features with a host of improvements from the LibreOffice community. While LibreOffice Vanilla is recommended for early adopters who wish to experience new features, Collabora Productivity also released Collabora Office for the Mac. Read more details how Collabora started maintaining LibreOffice Vanilla in the Mac app store.Ĭollabora Office for the Mac, the enterprise-ready version of LibreOffice Vanilla ![]() Why not get involved to ensure they’re well triaged and prioritized! We’ll be addressing more Mac issues as when as we sell more LibreOffice Vanilla. The fix was simply to make sure the copy of the video file had the same file name extension as the original one. The system APIs used to open and display the video did not like that and displaying even an initial grabbed frame from the video failed. That copy was given a name without file name extension. When doing that LibreOffice (for some reason) copies the video file first into a temporary copy. The fix here was to add a check if anything actually had changed that would be of interest to LibreOffice, and if not, just don’t proceed to do any re-calculations of layouts etc.įinally, there was a problem with inserting videos in Impress presentations. This took a considerable amount of time when you had a lot of document windows open and several of these notifications were received. The fix was to request notifications only once being prepared to receive them.Īlso, the handler for this notification did not check whether anything had actually changed that LibreOffice would want to know but just went through all the motions of re-calculating layouts of GUI and sizes of text and whatnot, totally in vain. LibreOffice was asking to receive such notifications too early before it was prepared to handle them. On some Macs, the system sent these notifications quite eagerly for no obvious reason. If resources allow and more similar problematic fonts are identified, some more generic fix would be needed.Īnother set of bugs were related to notifications for screen parameter changes (like when changing the size of the Dock, or attaching or detaching monitors). The fix for this was to simply handle these special cases separately. LibreOffice trusted that, which lead to the bold style always being selected for those typefaces, even when asking for a non-bold, regular (medium) weight. The mapping is heuristic, and it turned out that tweaking the mapping just a little bit made it possible to distinguish between some weights of a typeface that had previously mapped to the same weight in LibreOffice.Īnother issue was that for some other 3rd-party fonts, the system API claimed that the weight of the “Regular” style was non-zero and positive (0.23 to be exact), i.e., a bit on the bold side. That number needs to be converted to an integer (with just ten separate values) used in LibreOffice. ![]() ![]() The system APIs used by LibreOffice to enumerate installed typefaces and their styles indicate the weight of the font as a floating-point number between -1.0 and 1.0, with zero being “regular” weight. We addressed all the high priority Mac regressionsĪ few bugs were related to use of various 3rd-party fonts on macOS. Over the past months, we have been able to make some resources available to look into the most urgent Mac-specific bugs in LibreOffice, thanks to people purchasing LibreOffice Vanilla on the Mac App Store. ![]()
