separated UI/configuration for database forms and database reports i45663   feature-info:
With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01 (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Ffwkdbdesign01), database forms and reports will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for all three modules: forms, reports, normal text documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open a database form with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all database forms only. The same holds for database reports, of course. 		frank.schoenheit@sun.com

keyboard shortcuts for database record navigation i74918   feature-info:
With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01 (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Ffwkdbdesign01), you have a number of new keyboard shortcuts available in database forms. In particular, those are: Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + Home: First Record Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + Cursor-Left: Previous Record Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + Cursor-Right: Next Record Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + End : Last Record As usual, the meaning of "Modifier" depends on your platform/hardware, for an ordinary PC keyboard, it's "Ctrl" resp. "Alt". 		frank.schoenheit@sun.com

Export COT, ACOT, COTH, and ACOTH to MS Excel files i72768   feature-info:
The Excel export filter now handles the cotangent functions COT, ACOT, COTH, and ACOTH which are not contained in Microsoft Excel. The filter replaces the functions by the related tangent functions: Cotangent: COT(x) is replaced with (1/TAN(x)) Arccotangent: ACOT(x) is replaced with (PI/2-ATAN(x)) where PI/2 is given as numerical constant Hyperbolic cotangent: COTH(x) is replaced with (1/TANH(x)) Hyperbolic arccotangent: ACOTH(x) is replaced with ATANH(1/(x)) with "x" being any simple or complex expression. Note the additional parentheses which are needed to preserve correct operator precedence, for example: COT(1)^2 is correctly replaced by (1/TAN(1))^2 instead of the wrong 1/TAN(1)^2. 		daniel.rentz@sun.com

Centered document view i1761   feature-info:
From mmp's short spec as issue comment: If the horizontal scrollbar has nothing to do then the pages will be centered in the window. Otherwise we keep the behavior from previous OOo versions (ZoomIn bahaviour will not be changed.) The center of the pages is defined by the half width of the widest page of the document (pages can also be in landscape orientation, right?). Then all pages are aligned to the left border of the widest page. 		oliver.specht@sun.com

With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01 (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Ffwkdbdesign01), XML form documents will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for text documents and XML form documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open an XML form document with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all XML form documents only. 		frank.schoenheit@sun.com

keyboard shortcuts for task pane entries i72799   feature-info:
With the integration of CWS dba23ui, the entries in Base's task pane (the upper pane with items such as "Create a new table..." etc.) have accelerator shortcuts, i.e. can be accessed by pressing the Alt key (or whatever is the platform dependent accelerator key) plus the respective shortcut. The shortcuts are determined dynamically at runtime, and do not interfere with the accelerators for main menu and the left hand side category pane. 		frank.schoenheit@sun.com

/ in database object names not allowed anymore i73084   feature-info:
With the integration of CWS dba23a, database objects (queries, forms, reports) cannot contain slashes / in their name anymore. This character never reliably worked when used, and since it's used in another meaning already - separating hierarchies when you, for instance, put forms or reports into folders -, they have been completely forbidden. 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
New option: Load printer settings with the document i76855 Load Printer Settings with the Document Option OOo stores and restores printer settings with a document by default. In an enterprise environment with always available printers (i.e. around the world) this could result in printing a document on the other side of the world. Therefore a new option is added to suppress loading document printer settings on loading a document. Frank Loehmann (FL) speclink framework
Single dialog export in dialog editor i77640 Export Single Dialog from Library Currently dialogs are always embedded into a basic library. Especially for OOo extensions it would be helpful to have access to single dialogs. Therefore the dialog IDE gets a possibility to export the current dialog via a new button in the tool bar.

Default print options in Calc i25278   feature-info:
The default values for the following print options in Calc have been changed: - Print only selected sheets (property AllSheets) - Suppress output of empty pages (property EmptyPages) By default those options are now enabled. 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. The selected print range or sheet is empty.' is shown, if nothing is printed, e.g. if the document, selected sheet or print range is empty. 		thomas.benisch@sun.com
sc
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

To better support the creation of adapted OpenOffice.org installation sets we now support the following options with the configure script. intro-bitmaps [ --with-intro-bitmaps Prefer the specified intro bitmaps over the the default one.

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

As requested in the issue the auto capitalization of the first word in the first paragraph of a cell will no longer happen in spread sheets. This behavior is independent(!) of the respective setting for auto-correction. Developer notes: To allow for this the EditEngine has two new functions - IsFirstWordCapitalization and - SetFirstWordCapitalization Calling SetFirstWordCapitalization( FALSE ) will override the auto-correction setting and result in the described behavior.
