gnumeric 1.12.7 bugs

(1/3) > >>

nick65go:
The only version which works OK is gnumeric 1.10.17 (gtk1, from TC4).
in all other versionns of TC_32, from TC5 until TC12, gnumeric has a few bugs.
[in TC12_32, 2013/10/01 First version, 1.12.7 of gnumeric]

1. The help files are near useless (yelp "browser" is available only in TC4). But because are just text files (xml) could be read offline from /tmp/tcloop/gn3/usr/share/help/C/gnumeric

2. The selection of function dialog, from  f(x) button or Help/Functions, is crippled. In a window of 14 cm high you see just 2 small 3 cm sections, one for function selection and one for function parameters. None can be made taller than 3 cm.

My fast and dirty solution: gnumeric 1.12.48-1+b2 which use goffice 0.10.10
(TC 5-12 has goffice 0.10.7, it does not work with gnumeric 1.12.48)
Both shameless taken from debian (*.deb extracted and compressed as tcz).
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/gnumeric/download
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/all/gnumeric-common/download
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/libgoffice-0.10-10/download

FYI: my tcz use /usr/{bin; lib}, because /usr/local/{bin; lib} is not working yet. not big deal i think.

PS: do not bother with making help running.
Gnome bloat use "yelp browser", which is only available in TC4. But from TC4 it will drag a lot of old versions dependencies. The new yelp from debian is also bloat, because depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (>= 2.19.2) ; Basically the help browser is bigger than the help xlm files. how f*** ugly. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/yelp

PS2: you need additional packages installed for solver to work (glpk/ linear / non-linear equations), because gnumeric has just the linking interface, not the solver engine (as Ms Excel solver).

If you’d like to update the gnumeric extension, please feel free 🙂

I deleted all non-english text from xml files, so no language except English will work. Plus my tcz use /usr/xxx not as is customary /usr/local/xxx. If is OK for your team, then I could submit for TC_32:-goffice.tcz, gnumeric.tcz, gnumeric-help (man + help + samples), gnumeric-solver.tcz (glpk+lpsolve)
maybe remaind me the email, I did not send tcz for very long time :)

Hi Juanito
Just a heads up,  abiword  also depends on  goffice , so changing  goffice  might break it.

In that case we’ll leave it, but thanks for the offer.
