http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hey guys,I've searched the web and can't find an answer to this, and I don't remember this happening when I was on Statler, but if I have a Libreoffice file open already, and I go to Thunar and open another Libreoffice file, the new file doesn't come into focus but opens in the background, and I get a blinking button in my tint2 toolbar.  If I am opening a new file, it's because I need that file so how can I change it so that the new file comes into focus when I open it?  Thanks.mikhou (HowTos)

Some PowerPoint presentations (.ppt files) seem to be trying to open in LibreOffice Writer.

When opening the file, it asks for a character encoding, then opens as a Writer document with gibberish in it.

The presentation files in question open correctly on a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 bu

I've just installed isync to use Google Drive on Ubuntu 12.04. Its really nice, synchronizes very well. However, I'm not able to open my doc files using libreoffice.

The error is mainly this: The file filename is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. Libreoffice can try to repair the file.

When I click repair, its says read error.

Do you have any idea about this?

Whenever I open a cvs file from the command line using the cmd 'libreoffice --calc my_file' and libreoffice was not previously started I do not get a launcher icon for libreoffice calc.

I am using Libreoffice Writer 3.6.2.2 with Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, nothing special, just the standard libreoffice that comes from the standard download of 12.10 amd64 from ubuntu.com.

Hi. This happened after some pacman -Suy, but I noticed just now.gvfs-open, xdg-open, clicking on a downloaded file in Firefox or transmission-gtk opens a containing directory in nautilus and highlights the file instead of opening it.Clicking the file in Nautilus does open the file.

When I save my LibreOffice Calc file to Exel format it won't open correctly when opened in Excel.

After saving file in LibreOffice with russian name it displays in Nautilus like "??????.odt". This file correctly opens in LibreOffice, but with "??????.odt" title in titlebar.

Another side of problem - when I create file with russian name in Nautilus (for example, I'm renaming english filename in russian), it doesn't open in LibreOffice with an error " /home/..../???????.odt doesn't exists".
