#LibreOffice

#PSA: AFAICT, #LibreOffice doesn't check for changes to a file while you have it open. So if you need to leave a document open that's in a shared directory (like a cloud drive, or something served by Syncthing/rclone), hit Ctrl+S to save, then Ctrl+Shift+m to switch that LibreOffice window to read-only mode.

Then, when you come back to edit the document, hit Ctrl+Shift+m three times. (read-only -> read/write -> read-only -> read/write), because it will only load changes to the document when switching from read/write mode to read-only mode.

Wie entkommt man Google Drive und sichert sensible Dokumente dennoch komfortabel online?

Überlege gerade, Dokumente zum Berliner Unternehmen @mailbox_org umzuziehen. 🇪🇺 Problem: Das 2FA-Login wird gerade erst verbessert und wurde bei mir noch nicht ausgerollt. mailbox.org/de/post/der-neue-l

Google & Co sichern ja Logins auf neuen Geräten durch second device ab. 🔒

Dokumente kann man außerdem mit Mailbox-Guard schützen, meines Wissens sind diese dann aber lokal auf dem Laptop nicht mehr mit OXDrive-Client nutzbar.

Pragmatischer Mittelweg: #LibreOffice Dokumente mit Passwort schützen? 🤔 (PDFs - ?)

Ich finde auch Lösungen wie Cryptomator oder Boxcryptor smart, aber ist ein zusätzlicher Layer technische Komplexität. Und wenn der fehl schlägt, sind die Dateien futsch (?) 🤔

I just tried exporting a story I'm working on from #LibreOffice to an ePub file, and it worked beautifully. It used to be that you had to get a plug-in to do this, but now it's built right into the app. I even added metadata and some random image as a cover, just to see what would happen, and it worked perfectly.

I cannot figure out why more #writers don't use LibreOffice. Every single time I go to do something in it that I want to do for writing either fiction or nonfiction, it's way ahead of what you can do in Microsoft Word, and definitely way ahead of what you can do in Google Docs. Yeah you have to learn the app, but it's not like that's too difficult for what most writers need to get going.

Something my computer in 1989 could do that no modern OS today (AFAIK) does:

Convert any text from any font into an outline or drop-shadow. Of course, it was just pixel-twiddling trickery at that time, they were still bitmapped fonts back then. But it wouldn't be that hard today to do the same thing algorithmically on the vectors themselves. Also, Macintosh System 7 did the same thing, and those were vector fonts. I don't know if it was just applying the same bitmap algorithms to the bitmapped output of the font rendering, or if they had something fancier going on.

It's like modern tech isn't even trying. Or it's trying so hard to do incredibly stupid things like baking-in "AI."

I just checked on Mac OS 9, and all of the same text style transformation options were there, even with anti-aliasing and everything.

UPDATE: I am a very, very, very, very, very clever human being. [--__--] (#LibreOffice totally supports outline and shadow in regular text in Writer)

Consider migrating to LibreOffice.
