Kotlin SI-GUI – Incompatible changes

Hi,

From now on you need the newest updater JAR. I hate that this happened… Updater download

Bottom line: The main application is no longer a ZIP, which needs to be extracted. From now one it is a JAR file, which can be started by a double click…. Therefore the updater procedure had to be changed.

I am sorry for this change, but I am quite sure that should not happen too often ( I do not want to…

Kotlin SI-GUI – A quick update

It’s about time for a quick update 🙂

Firstly, as the initial issues are resolved there won’t be any updates for the traditional SI-GUI anymore (I may add a hint to the new version after some time)

Regarding my questions in Kotlin re-implementaion of SI-GUI:

Changing the root folder should not be needed, therefore I hid it. It was not easy as either one used this feature a lot or not at all….

Defa…

Please say hello to the new SI-GUI

Hello everyone, With this post the original C# version is being deprecated. In this post “Kotlin SI-GUI” (Separate Installation GUI in Kotlin) will be introduced. For Windows the basic functionality should work. This excludes: Bering able to start *.exe files A good error message when trying to parallel install *.exe files Window icons are missing ATM Without further ado I present the new GUI…

Hi, Just a few questions I would be interested to hear am answer. How often do you change the root folder for your parallel installations? What should be the default folder? Do you need a list of available helppack languages? Would it be acceptable to connect to the internet for fetching the possible helppack language or do you prepare it hardcore. Do you need the option not to touch…

Hi, I have not talked mich about SI-GUI statistics lately so here some numbers 😉 Since logging every action (this can be turned off)… 6990 parallel installation have been started (and 6022 of them finished successfully) 6327 downloads have been started with 4833 fining their way in the download statistics [if someone has problem downloading LibreOffice, please tell me] Most people use English…

OOXML – Bug to bug compatibility needed to Word

As you know I often publish things how good Microsoft office adheres to it’s own standard. It should be known that LibreOffice needs to produce non-conform OOXML (docx,xlsx etc.) files to be able to open files created with Microsoft Word. This time linking to the commit message of one of our developers as a proof 😉

LibreOffice can open XLSX files Excel cannot

Just a quick heads up. I just created and saved an Excel file using Excel 2016, which cannot be opened again with it. Glad our swiss army knife LibreOffice can 😉 It’s funny to see Excel can open the ODS I created using LibreOffice (as source I used the XLSX file) better than it’s “native” format…. Here is a short “proof” video: https://youtu.be/bM7UOkqQTqw

SI-GUI usage statistc + Github

Just 2 small hints: A new usage statistic is available here. And anyone with a GitHub account can change the list, which is used for the “Update list of versions” feature. Yours, Florian

OOXML Strict and MS Office

One of the benefits of being a student is getting Office 365. I also have Office 2010 so that leaves me with bot Office 2010 and 2016. Recently I tried to save a Excel file in OOXML Strict and confront my 2010 edition Excel with it. This file has been created with a newer version of MS Excel – For opening this file you need a converter. Would you like to download it from Office.com? The hilarious…

PS: The UI (should theoretically [REFERENCE] be style-able via CSS). Hope it does not look to awful yet ;)
