Meandering around the pitfalls of reality will not give you an advantage in your campaign to boost your data-sucking machine.

There is one shiny cool feature about SoftMaker that you overlook. Keep it going.

This tells a lot about the quality of the public . Nothing about the quality of any product or service. “ Nothing is more noble and requires more courage than to find oneself in open contradiction with our times, to stand up and to say: NO! ” (rough ad-hoc translation of Kurt Tucholsky) I am not cou...

I agree with you Michael. Even the argument about Netscape vs IE seems like it was done with AI. Those of us who lived the Browser wars know better than to fall for that over-simplified and out of context comparison. Okay, you got my argumentation right, but this only concerns AIrika's choice of wo...

Deep Seek is a server software. Tell me where the servers are and will be. “Openness” is about sharing. A cloak and dagger attitude towards knowledge, scientific work and the benefit that YOU clandestinely tear from the work of others, has nothing to do with openness. Do not mix it all to confuse us...

You do not understand me. Never mind.

Do with the Professional package whatever you want.

For FreeOffice, I think that Huawei-Cloud-HK would really really be too much free service in a gratuitous software. And why would you want to punish us this way ...

More Motivation. When I was a “professional Software-Developer” (“They” called me that), I made a lot of money (fast) by developing the same software, practically all the time, which has – in diverse incarnations – existed already for 20 or 30 years. That was neither Equation-Editors nor Automation ...

Good morning. I can understand the demand for integrated software which would then cooperate with the main program. But PSE consider that there are specific tools for specific tasks, which has many advantages that I should not need to list here (we can do that, if you must know). As you have mention...

@SuperTech and all. I have tried for half an hour, to reproduce the behavior which I had originally described in the German speaking forum AND CAN NO MORE. Ergo. It looks like The original bug is either corrected or cannot be reproduced - which may be the same thing. My example-files in the OP are c...

Textmaker invents a style which is not there, encloses the chosen text-portion in style-tags and removes the white-space in the proces... A nice addition to the XML-handling difficulties, which I already described for Office 2018 and here, too: https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?p=66738#p6673...

I like the 2021 version of SoftMaker Office. This is the test-version S1014.0529. Of course, I am looking into the bugs which I had reported for Office 2018. In the attachments, you find two ODT files, one of which differs in the formatting of content.xml . The result is a false alignment in TextMak...

We just call a system script to update the icons and refresh the icon cache. This script takes however long it takes. Okay. In this case I have to discuss the issue with other Linux users and experts to see, why there is a difference from installing other packages, native or other. It is evident th...

Why does updating desktop themes take such an enormous time during updates of the Office-suite? Especially when “adding icons” appears to be the only action performed. During an ordinary update (apt update && apt upgrade), SoftMaker Office is the only package which brings the procedure to a ...

You cannot avoid that the Settings-Folder be located in ~/SoftMaker and you cannot make the office-suite look for settings somewhere else Now, what you can do depends a little on the purpose. If you need the Settings-folder in a different place, because *other* software, scripts and the like must us...

@miguel-c Could there be a list of cases that ask for the activation/deactivation of XIM? I still do not know what it does, what it is, and why I am using it, sometimes and sometimes not. And sometimes, when things do not work as expected, it is because I have not activated XIM, sometimes this is no...
