Hello, all.
I chanced upon a bug in KSO Spreadsheets. You cannot have the listing "- Automobile" in
KSO Spreadsheets! It says the name is undefined... Try it, you'll see!
Or is it just me? Maybe KSO doesn't like the make of my car?  hehe.
But no problems in KSO's "Writer" yet.
BFN.

I'll follow suit with Puppus Dogfellow. Thanks for the notice though musher0, and if I do get a notice to take it down, I have no problem taking it down even though it would be unfortunate. It's never the lastest version that they provide on wps-community.org - right now it's 4244 from them, then for windows it's 4480 for free version, and 4490 for professional version (maybe as long as they don't compile the latest versions, it doesn't breach any legalities?)
@keniv
You could try the lupusuper iso if you haven't done so already (precise kernel - 3.2.48 or above) and see if Kingsoft works on that, unless glibc and other libraries remain a constant throughout rerwin's builds (not an expert on glibc). There's nothing wrong with using Softmaker.

Try using a single quote in front of "- Automobile" - e.g. type in '- Automobile (add that single quote in front, without it I believe Spreadsheets thinks you're using that cell for a formula or number)

Your trick works, thanks. However, I had a whole listing with a dash in front of them and the "- Automobile" entry was the only one singled out. Strange.

Also thanks, guys, for your input on the copyright issue.
@nmlkngdm: I hadn't thought that this is a "community" issue.
I guess we're in the clear because of that.

@keniv:
FYI, Médor, from the French side of the forum, has had success loading KSO in Lucid 528.
He opened the sfs, included the libstdc++ library from Precise in it, and then redid the sfs
without the xz compression (which ups the weight of the sfs to ~95 Mb).

I hope you're right.

Try different variations or if you're not too far into your file, try on a new spreadsheet.
' - Automobile (space in front of the hyphen/after the quote)
'-Automobile (no spaces)

As a matter of interest, Kingsoft Writer shows Thai text formatted in a way which is very difficult to read. The software seems to break up clusters of letters randomly. Until this is fixed, it won't make much headway in this country. I tried both the full sfs and musher0's version with only western fonts and got the same result with both. I wonder if this happens with other non-western and non-Chinese texts.

It also does not do a true conversion of Word dox (i.e. spacing issues with fonts, etc.). It's a nice little product that I recommend on tablets. I still prefer ABI Word (must be 2.8.6) for Puppy (light and does the job).

On this subject of characters, I'll add that KingSoft does not allow typing French accented
characters.

To correct my previous post, after serious consideration about ABI Word, I find it has too many flaws for anything but light editing. See my other posts in the forum about the Delete Button issue. It's a major flaw! Kingsoft's not the one for serious everyday use, either.

KSO-western, Problem insert number pages
Subject description: Kingsoft-Western- No insert number pages |
|
Thank you very much for
Western Kingsoft O. It is great!
Much better than MS Office.
But it is impossible to insert
number of pages.
Can you resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings.

Looks nice,but too many issues. Better: SoftMaker FreeOffice |
|
Tried out Kingsoft Office, ui looks great, but it has many quirks ... it's English and Chinese only - locales, dictionaries and supported standards. There are problems with regional standards, e.g. spreadsheets cannot be used in Europe, because it's hardcoded to use dot instead of comma for decimal separator. It also changes Windows regional settings at every launch of any Kingsoft Office app, making big problems for other apps... just to name a few ... and its interoperability with Microsoft Office is unsatisfactory (especially when it comes to larger xml files).
My preference amongst all free office suites is still SoftMaker FreeOffice (freeoffice.com) - compared to Kingsoft Office, ui looks unspectacular, but it is effective and comfortable. No issues, no quirks and oddities, it works fast and reliable. And, above all, it provides the best import and export filters for Microsoft Office formats.
