btw: if I fill bugs in issuezilla, I could be sure (if these will be solved) that there will be another x11 version that pluby can use for neooffice 2.x? I read somewhere that after the intel x11 version the Oo staff will work only on cocoa version. So, I do not want to fill bugs in issuezilla that will be used only in linux and windows version, and not in neooffice version (I do not believe in a cocoa version until I see a working version, I'm still waiting the 1.1.x one).
I'm missing something?

Thank you.

f.

I don't use the OOo X11 team's custom builds. Instead, I use the code that Sun uses for OOo's official releases. So, when OOo 2.0.3 comes out, I'll include that code in the next Neo release. Also, while the compiling work that the OOo X11 team does saves me a little time, the savings isn't very much so if they stop doing X11 compiles, it won't affect my work that much. After all, I don't need the X11 vcl code to actually work as I completely replace any X11 code with Java, Cocoa, or Carbon code.

Patrick, do you plan to send an email about NeoOffice EAP to all mailing list subscribers?

Hmm, I got that last night (4 AM US EDT)... Question

Smokey

I didn't, sorry if it had already been sent Embarassed

Sorry, I meant it seemed odd to me that you hadn't gotten it yet Sad

Maybe the list is that long that to get from a to v when sending takes many hours?

Smokey

I still haven't got it :/
I think the list isn't that long Razz

The problem is likely on your end. Either your mail application or your mail service provider is filtering it out as SPAM.

This is probably true. The size of the OOo binaries alone increased from 108 MB to 169 MB with the switch to OOo 2.0.2. OOo 2.0.2 is bigger than OOo 1.1.x.


This is true, but I do not notice this problem with the x11 version and not with the linux version that I try some times ago. I think there is also some optimization coming or alpha problem: for example actually neooffice has closed all the windows and it is using 211mb...

Good to know. When I'll find the time I'll try to use isuezilla for the big problems of the Base.

Thank you for the answers.

Are you working with a lot of images? Displaying and scaling images is very memory intensive in NeoOffice Java code. X11's is much faster because it uses Carbon where Java (which uses Cocoa) doesn't handle images nearly as fast or as well. Sad

Thanks for this information Patrick,

It's good to know that we are not dependant on the X11 efforts. Gives me a little ray of sunshine/hope that NeoOffice will keep getting better and better. Very Happy

I'm looking forward to testing NeoOffice 2.OH! (sorry, I just like saying that way - no offense meant). Alpha is an excellent start!

FYI, MacBidouille/HardMac have published news about NeoOffice EAP.

But as always, ericb is flaming on the forums...

I feel it is another kind of problem. I made a simply test this morning: I opened 3 Write files using neooffice 1.2, neooffice 2.0 alpha and openoffice x11 2.0.1. Write files, only text:

Neo 1.2 uses around 130mb
Oo uses around 86mb (plus around 26 of x-stuff)
Neo 2 aplha uses 196mb

After I opened a Write file and a Base file, using neooffice 2.0 alpha e Oo 2.0.1

Oo uses around 90mb (plus around 26 of x-stuff)
Neo 2 alpha uses 210mb

No graphic or image in Write or Base documents. If I can help to investigate where the memory is used let me know how.

This is very interesting data. What is interesting is that I didn't change any of my Java code between Neo 1.2.x and Neo 2.0 Alpha. Can you file a bug in Bugzilla and attach a sample document that I can use to study where the memory differences are?

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm going to file it.

I got the 2.0 Alpha a couple of hours ago and I must say I'm impressed. I don't know where the code has been optimized but it's pretty faster than before. Really nice to work with.

I simply wonder how I could get the UI fonts smaller because they're slightly too big right now.

Thanks val. Gee, those sites were quick off the mark. Bravo to them. There's a little bit of difference in tone between the English and French entries, it seems.

I'm not sure there's a way to do this in the app itself.

This was done in the past (Neo/J 0.x, Neo/J 1.1 & Neo 1.2.x) via a "dpi hack" which seems not to have been migrated to the new codebase (or doesn't work in the new codebase).

You should file a bug Wink

Good work! The DPI hack was causing the super large text. I have removed the DPI hack and text size is back to pre-Neo 2.0 Alpha sizes. I'll put this fix in Neo 2.0 Alpha "Patch 1".
