Every attempt to create or rename an object, giving it a name with a slash, will now be rejected with an error message. If Base reads a document which already contains such broken names, then the slashes will silently be converted to underscores _ - which implies the objects will then work, again. frank.schoenheit@sun.com

Extension can integrate options pages in the options dialog i75869 Options Dialog for Extensions An extension may require to be configured before it can be used reasonably or in order to adapt it to personal preferences. For example, a spell checker extension could be configured to use different sets of grammar rules, a clock extension could be configured to show twelve or twenty four hours, etc. Configuring the extension should be as easy as possible for the user. That is, a dialog should be used rather then some obscure configuration files which need to be edited. And, of course, this dialog should be easily accessible, that is, it needs to be found intuitively.Future extensions shall be able to integrate own options pages into the options dialog. An options page is similar to a dialog but is lacking the title bar and border so that it can be shown in a parent window, which is the option dialog. The options dialog can also be started from the Extension Manager, in which case it shows only the options pages of the selected extension. Joachim Lingner (JL) speclink framework

In addition, if the 'Print only selected sheets' option is enabled, the Calc page preview prints only the displayed sheet. Furthermore a warning box with the message 'There is nothing to print.

Support of inline matrix/array constants in formulas i32342 feature-info:

Calc now supports inline matrix/array constants in formulas. An inline array is surrounded by curly braces '{' and '}'. Elements can be each a number (including negatives), a logical constant (TRUE, FALSE) or a literal string. Non-constant expressions are not allowed. Arrays can be entered with one or more rows, and one or more columns. All rows must consist of the same number of elements, all columns must consist of the same number of elements, so that a two-dimensional array has no sparse elements. The column separator (separating elements in one row) is the ';' semicolon, the row separator is a '|' pipe symbol. They were chosen because the upcoming ODF formula specification uses these separators. Contrary to Excel, the separators are not UI-version and/or locale dependent. Arrays can not be nested. Import/export from/to Excel are implemented. Examples: ={1;2;3} An array with one row consisting of the three numbers 1, 2 and 3. ={1;2;3|4;5;6} An array with two rows and three values in each row. ={0;1;2|FALSE;TRUE;"two"} A mixed data array. =SIN({1;2;3}) Entered as a matrix formula delivers the result of three SIN calculations with the arguments 1, 2 respectively three. ={1;2|4;5;6} Invalid array, the first row misses an element. This results in Err:512 "Formula overflow". ={1;2+3} Invalid array, the second element is not a constant. This results in Err:512 "Formula overflow". ={1;2;{3;4;5}} Invalid array, nested arrays are not allowed. This results in Err:533 "Nested arrays are not supported". This is a new error condition relevant for translation. eike.rathke@sun.com

Dynamic ranges as formula results in validation lists i56566 feature-info:

Calc now supports dynamic ranges as formula results in validation lists, menu Data.Validity, pick "Cell range". Previously, only directly entered range references such as A1:A5 or defined names that simply (recursively) evaluated to a range were supported. Now also a formula that evaluates to a range or an array can be entered, such as INDIRECT(A1) if A1 contains a string that evaluates to a range, such as B2:C3. Defined names are deeply evaluated now and don't need to be defined to a simple range, a formula returning a range or an array here is fine as well. This makes it possible to define a name to a complex formula that calculates a rectangular area and enter that defined name in the validation dialog. The restriction that a range has to be exactly one column or one row was removed. If a two-dimensional area is given, the elements in the selection list are listed row-wise if not sorted. If the range or formula calculation results in an error, that error is displayed as the only value of the selection list box. The hint displayed below the Source edit field was adapted to "A valid source can only consist of a contiguous selection of rows and columns, or a formula that results in an area or array." eike.rathke@sun.com

Automatic update for charts in Writer i55007 feature-info:

Hi, As with CWS chart2mst3: The checkbox in the dialog "Tools/Options/Star Office Writer/General" named "Charts" is now indented the same level as the "Fields" box. Also enabling/disabling the "Field" box does not have an effect on the "Chart" box anymore. Thus toggling of automatic updates for charts is now fully a flag on it's own. If that flag is set and changes to a table cell (with a chart attached) are made the chart will be updated a moment after the cursor leaves the current cell. And this is right after the formula fields in a table got updated. Thus chart will get the correct value for every field. Previously the chart was only updated if cells/rows/columns got deleted/inserted or if a cell changed that was used in a formula field of another cell. Now all changes to a cells content will trigger the automatic update for the chart object if the cursor leaves the cell. Regards, Thomas thomas.lange@sun.com
