Hey everyone, Thanks to the sterling work of Stefano, Roman and Bjoern I have something super to share. We've integrated LibreOfficekit 5.0.3 into DocViewer, so you can now view common office documents directly on your Ubuntu device. This is what it currently looks like:- http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-06-090544.png http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-06-090559.png http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-06-090617.png http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-06-090632.png http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-06-090647.png It's not ready for prime time so we haven't uploaded it to the store yet. It's very much a preliminary 'beta' but we wanted to share it to get wider testing among our technical audience (that's you and your device-owning friends who may not be on this list). Set your expectations accordingly! This can open LibreOffice (and ye olde legacy formats like Microsoft Office) documents, sheets and presentations for viewing. The user interface around displaying / zooming / page flipping and the full screen experience are under development. (These things may happen faster if you get involved in development of the app :D). Just drop your office docs in /home/phablet/Documents and they should show up in the app. I've put the click package, installation details and some notes and known issues in the readme linked below. Have fun, and send your appreciation to Stefano, Roman and Bjoern! http://people.canonical.com/~alan/docviewer/readme.txt Cheers, -- Alan Pope Community Manager Canonical - Product Strategy +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.pope@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://ubuntu.com/
