OOo2GD 1.8.2

2009-10-25T20:04:00.003+01:00

What new?

Removed annoying window displayed after upload of file, instead of this you can see "status" of operation in progress window

New button Download in Import window, this button let you download file without opening it in OO.org, downloading will be performed with format chosen in selector above.

Fixes:

Fixed handling of file names with #, now it should work :-)

As always you may download or visit project page :-)

First fix is for downloading presentations from Google Docs. It seems that address for downloading presentations was changed and OOo2GD follows this change.
Second is for filtering items seen in import window. Now those items will be filtered to documents, spreadsheets and presentations only.

As always I invite you to download, from OOo2GD page in OpenOffice.org extensions repository [to now it was downloaded almost 177 thousands times :-)] or from project page.

2009-10-03T17:55:00.001+02:00

Two changes, first is adding support for downloading files from Google Docs in choosen format, this should help to preserve more complicated formating [I think Google Docs is the best in exporting MS Word documents]

You can choose format for spreadsheets and documents, for presentation you are able to select only PPT ;-)
GUI isn't obvious but shouldn't be difficult to understand.

Second change is return of refresh "icon", on button for refreshing list of documents in Upload window.

We have here also some small internal changes, the most significant is change of this how OOo2GD will report itself to Google Docs.

As always I invite you to download, from OOo2GD page in OpenOffice.org extensions repository [to now it was downloaded almost 177 thousands times :-)] or from project page.

2009-07-31T23:40:00.002+02:00

Two day ago or so I made test on GoArmy.com, I was curious who I might to be in US Army ;-)
And results are interesting ;-) it looks that my way of life should be work with information in intelligence ;-)

My results are here:

Human Intelligence Collector (35M) - The Human Intelligence Collector is primarily responsible for supervising and conducting information collection operations. They are integral to providing Army personnel with information about enemy forces and potential battle areas.

Intelligence Analyst (35F) - The Intelligence Analyst is primarily responsible for supervising, coordinating and participating in the analysis, processing and distribution of strategic and tactical intelligence.

Signals Collector/Analyst (35S) - The Signals Collector/Analyst is primarily responsible for performing and supervising the detection, acquisition, location and identification of foreign electronic intelligence.

Signals Intelligence Analyst (35N) - An Signals Intelligence Analyst listen to and intercept foreign radio transmissions and relay that information by producing combat, strategic and tactical intelligence reports.

It's nice to read something like this :-) I was never interested in military career, and I think I'm too talkative to work in intelligence but those results are nice ;-)
I always liked to thing about myself as "information animal" ;-) and it looks that it is something in this ;-)

Dear Mac OS users I need your help :-)
For now biggest problem for OOo2GD on Mac OS is opening downloaded documents in OO.org.

I can do it for files without spaces in name, but I want to add possibility to open files with spaces in name.

And here I need your help. Here you may find ZIP archive with two files.
Those two files are:
MacOsTester.jar
plik ze spacjmi w nazwie.ods [it's in Polish "file with space in name.ods", but word space is misspelled ;-)]

You need to unpack it somewhere on your HDD, and click on MacOsTester.jar.
After click you should see something like this:

Next you need to click on all buttons from Metoda 1 to Metoda 11. You should note all buttons which will open your OpenOffice.org with spreadsheet looking like this:

For test you will need OpenOffice.org on Mac OS :-) and Java 5.0.

Fell free to share with results in comments to this post or send me e-mail to address .

2009-07-14T00:20:00.002+02:00

Battery.
Really, HTC should think about version with battery ;-)
Current one is similar to UPS, it helps between short moments when you are not connected to proper power source ;-)
With old Nokia or Alcatel [both proud European companies :-)] I had about a week of work without charging, with G1 it's a day.

Finger marks on screen.
When you see G1 which is used by someone else you start to wonder why this person didn't wash her hands. Whole screen is covered with marks of fingers. It looks disgusting.
When you owe G1 you start to understand it ;-) Wash your hands and next try to input unlocking pattern ;-) But even with those clean hands your fingers will left ugly tracks on screen.

Responsiveness.
Or rather the fact that from time to time you may met on G1 lack of responsiveness. Here are some hard moments when you can see your wallpaper and you need to wait.... and wait... and wait....
But here it is common behavior of many mobile devices. For me it looks that during development those devices are quick and everything works nice and smooth, but in next phase when those wonderful devices are converted to versions for real world market they met physics laws, and what become worser, economy laws. So designers throw out from those devices quicker CPUs because users have strange habit to keep phone disconnected from power line, they threw out also normal batteries, because those batteries costs more, and weights more too ;-)

But considering all this, I must say that G1 is coolest piece of mobile equipment I ever had. It's true GeekPhone :-)

How to create valid file name?

2009-07-06T01:37:00.002+02:00

During development of OOo2GD I met some non-trivial problem.
In Google Docs you may use almost all characters in title of document, but you cannot use all those characters in file name. This means that when user wants to download document to local machine you need sometimes to convert title to file name.... And of course we want to make sure that file name will be as much similar to document title as it is possible.

I thought about two possible ways, first by creating smallest common caharset for all operating systems [or rather file systems]. Second by narrowing available charset in steps.
I choose 2nd way, and decided that first I will try to remove only ":", if it will not help I will try to remove some bigger set of characters, and if it will not help too I will keep only latin letters and digits.

Here is code which I'm using :-)

public static String findAvailableFileName(String destFileURI) {
    String destFileName = destFileURI.substring(0,destFileURI.lastIndexOf("."));
    String destFileExt = destFileURI.substring(destFileURI.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
    int count = 1;      
    File f;
    while ((f=new File(destFileURI)).exists()) {
        destFileURI=destFileName+"("+(count++)+")"+"."+destFileExt;
    }            
    String fName = f.getName();
    String fPath = f.getParent();
    // Now we need to check if given file name is valid for file system, and if it isn't we need to convert it to valid form
    if (!(testIfFileNameIsValid(destFileURI))) {
        List forbiddenCharsPatterns = new ArrayList();
        forbiddenCharsPatterns.add("[:]+"); // Mac OS, but it looks that also Windows XP
        forbiddenCharsPatterns.add("[\\*\"/\\\\\\[\\]\\:\\;\\|\\=\\,]+");  // Windows
        forbiddenCharsPatterns.add("[^\\w\\d\\.]+");  // last chance... only latin letters and digits
        for (String pattern:forbiddenCharsPatterns) {
            String nameToTest = fName;
            nameToTest = nameToTest.replaceAll(pattern, "_");
            destFileURI=fPath+"/"+nameToTest;
            count=1;
            destFileName = destFileURI.substring(0,destFileURI.lastIndexOf("."));
            destFileExt = destFileURI.substring(destFileURI.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
            while ((f=new File(destFileURI)).exists()) {
                destFileURI=destFileName+"("+(count++)+")"+"."+destFileExt;
                }
                if (testIfFileNameIsValid(destFileURI)) break;
        }
    }         
    return destFileURI;
}
    
private static boolean testIfFileNameIsValid(String destFileURI) {
    boolean valid = false;
    try {
        File candidate = new File(destFileURI);                
        String canonicalPath = candidate.getCanonicalPath();                
        boolean b = candidate.createNewFile();
        if (b) {
            candidate.delete();
        }
        valid = true;
    } catch (IOException ioEx) { }
    return valid;
}

Here nicer form of sources ;-)

Because whole operation in code above is performed on file path in first step I remove all / and \...

Additionally this code returns "first free" file name. So if you are trying to save file "test.odt" to directory where file with this name exists, this code will test first if "test.odt" is available, if not it will try "test(1).odt", next "test(2).odt" and so on.

2009-06-28T19:20:00.003+02:00

After long period, we have it :-) New version v1.7.0 of OOo2GD :-)

What's new?

French version

all compiled for Java 5

unofficial MacOS support - it means, that it sometimes works, and sometimes not ;-)

Fixes:

fixed problem with downloading spreadsheets from Google Apps accounts

fixed handling of langauges

Additionally in this version you may find support for external translations. Put your translation to home directory [in Windows it is C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\] and from next restart of OO.org OOo2GD should use your translation. This is introduction for on-line editor of translations.

Download.

My fault, last time I didn't attached one important file to distributed OXT file. This missing file was activtation.jar, which is shipped with Java 6, but isn't with Java 5.

I probably should find it during tests, but my laptop is rather slow, so I prefer not to make anything what will take a lot time [so restarting OpenOffice.org and so on ;-)].

What means "stokrotka"?
It is Polish name for daisy, codename is to official name for my method to avoid mixing files.

MacOS:
It should be able to upload files [without conversion from unsupported format to supported by Google Docs], and to download files, I made also changes to open those downloaded files, but I wasn't yet able to test it.

Have fun!
Download [I'm waiting for feedback]

Early access version of OOo2GD 1.7.0 with partial MacOS support

2009-05-26T00:15:00.003+02:00

I decided to publish very early version of OOo2GD 1.7.0.
Differences to previous versions are:

compiled for Java 1.5, thanks to this it may work on MacOS [read more below]
changed method of displaying message windows [users of Windows, and probably also Linux and Solaris shouldn't notice any difference]
changed localization of gdocs.update.xml file [was http://przemelek.googlepages.com/gdcos.update.xml, will be http://www.przemelek.pl/gdocs.update.xml]
Small changes in Bulgarian translation

MacOS support:
This is tricky one ;-)
Tests shows that on some systems uploading works [but as I suppose without automatic conversion after prompt that conversion is needed]. Downloading works, but it may have some problems with opening downloaded file in OO.org.
You may ask why I decided to publish this version if it doesn't work.
Answer is easy: I didn't have Mac [and looking on behavior of Apple Java I'm happy with this ;-)] so I'm not able to test it myself. I hope Mac owners will try how it works and will share with comments how it worked [or not ;-)]

~~Download~~

Finally I gather almost all translations and here it is! New version 1.6.0 of OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs.

New:

autoconversion [but with prompt] of unsupported by Google Docs and Zoho formats to supported,
new translation to Simplified Chinese created by Steven (YoUZoU)

Also autoupdate should start to work. Earlier it didn't work because OpenOffice.org doesn't like Google Code servers... for now I moved OXT file to OpenOffice.org serves and autoupdate should start to work :-)

Currently I'm working on some tool for synchronizing folders with Google Docs and Zoho. I think this tool will work also under Mac OS ;-)
I'm not sure if this new tool will be distributed under LGPL, but it will be free [at least in basic version :-)].
I have crisis of believe in LGPL because last week some "ugly" people started "business" with selling my plug-in to widely known and used in Poland instant messanger Gadu-Gadu. My plug-in called Gadacz [it's simple tool which connect IM with speech synthesizer] was sell without my permission, additionally those people was selling it via SMS, and theirs customers was sure that they will pay only 1.22 PLN [0.36 USD] but truly SMS cost 23.18 PLN [6.85 USD].
Very unpleasant situation.
I distributed Gadacz for free on my own license, but some people suggested that it is on LGPL and suggested that with LGPL someone may took my work, and start to sell it without any changes and my permission.

2009-03-10T00:51:00.005+01:00

Eventually I know why OOo2GD doesn't work on MacOS.

OpenOffice.org for Mac OS is 32 bit application, Apple Java 6.0 for Mac OS 10.5 is 64 bit application. It looks that on Mac OS, exactly the same like on Windows, 32 bit applications cannot use 64 bit Java. Because of this even if OpenOffice.org pointed to Apple Java 6.0 it was truly using Java 5.0 and OOo2GD wasn't able to work.

I compiled some special version [without some features] for Java 5.0 and this version was able to run on Mac OS 10.5 [I have screenshots :-)]

For now this version isn't perfect.
Download doesn't work [but files are downloaded and written on disk, OOo2GD cannot open those files in OpenOffice.org and hangs OO.org ;-)], on some system also upload doesn't work.
Changing of interface language doesn't work, whatever you choose it will be always English ;-)
Some fonts looks strange.
Buttons "Open in Browser" and "Open via Browser" doesn't work [the same as links for my pages ;-)] because of using Java 5.

I still don't know what I will do with version for MacOS, but most probable for now is that I will prepare some special Java 5 version of AddOn [I hope I will be able to keep as many features as possible].

2009-02-21T16:15:00.003+01:00

The recent changes in Google Docs API give us oportunity to perform fully supported downloading from Google Docs. Thanks to this from version 1.5.0 OOo2GD supports downloading of documents, presentations and [tada!!] spreadsheets :-)
Downloading will work for regular Google Docs accounts as for Google Apps accounts.

Changes in 1.5.0:

downloading of spreadsheets/li>
downloading from Google Apps accounts

change of directory to download files, it was temporary directory, from now it will be user directory

automagic renaming of file names, if in directory where file is downloaded we have file with the same name, we will save our downloaded file under other name

next changes in "thread model" of OOo2GD, thanks to this we should finally eliminate "no object DCH for MIME type application/atom+xml"

Download :-)

As shows results of survey, most of OOo2GD users [94%] uses it mainly to work with Google Docs.

For now I try to find out a way to add support for MacOS... Apple want to be original and they had theirs own Java, and for now OOo2GD don't work with MacOS.
I'm thinking also about some new features, one of those features is automagic synchronization, but for now it's only idea ;-)

Problem was caused by the fact that in some cases Swing EDT thread might be started with "wrong" ClassLoader, and wasn't able to access libraries needed to contact with Google Docs. This version should fix this problem.

It's a beta, so it isn't ideal ;-)

GUI is rather difficult, so here short "instruction".

First choose proper icon to export file to Google Docs:

In Export to Google Docs dialog instead of text field with document name we have ComboBox, and here is main difference, if you want to upload file as new entry to Google Docs DON'T CHOOSE ANYTHING FROM LIST, you should edit name in first line:

But if you want to export your file as new revision you should choose file to update from list:

When everything is OK you should see:

And here we have screen from Google Docs with revisions of document:

Download version 1.3b1 of OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs

This version may create some unnecessary files in user directory.
