    Tables

    Important improvements in table handling (László Németh, NISZ):

    • Fast table moving & deletion: Cut command cuts the selected table instead of removing its text content tdf#118311
    • Fast table row/column moving & deletion tdf#127759
      • Cut command cuts the selected table rows or columns, if they are selected by enhanced table selection (clicking in front of them)

      • move the selected table instead of duplicate it tdf#84806
      • move rows and columns (selected by enhanced table selection) and wholly selected tables by inserting new table rows above or columns before instead of overwriting cells of the target table. In the case of moving (not copying, i.e. without using the key Ctrl during drag & drop), the selected rows and columns are removed completely, instead of emptying their cells. tdf#35570

    Calc

    • Melhora da seleção de células com hiperlinks tdf#126393 (Samuel Mehrbrodt, CIB)
    • On MM:SS or [MM]:SS or MM:SS.00 or [MM]:SS.00 pre-formatted cells a two digit groups input like 12:34 is now accepted as minutes:seconds value instead of the usual hours:minutes:00 value; to force the usual hours:minutes:seconds input on such cells enter three digit groups like 12:34:00. tdf#76441 (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))

    Whole sheet export

    Thanks to the new Whole Sheet Export setting of the PDF export options, it is now possible to export your files in Calc to PDF with all pages on a sheet as one page in the PDF. This allows the users to see the full content of a spreadsheet document in a pdf form, without the usual slicing of the sheets into printable pages. official blog post blog post with dev notes 68dc00 c11d96 e23496 45122e (Muhammet Kara, Collabora)

    Como usá-lo?

    • Open your spreadsheet document in LibreOffice Calc
    • From the menu, select File ▸ Export as PDF...
    • On the General tab of the PDF Options dialog, check the option named Full-Sheet Previews (since version 6.4.1 renamed to Whole sheet export)

    The new full-sheet preview feature has also been added to the Online REST API. The command below can be used to get a full-sheet preview output of a spreadsheet document in the PDF format:

    curl --insecure -F "data=@YourSpreadSheetDocument.ods" -F "FullSheetPreview=true" https://localhost:9980/lool/convert-to/pdf > out.pdf

    Please note that using the --insecure option is only needed while testing the feature on a local setup, and we recommended against using it for non-testing cases.

    Base

    Access2Base callable from Python: The Access2Base API for Base users can from the 6.4 release on be invoked either from Basic (as usual) or from Python. In the latter case, the Python process may be running from inside or outside (via sockets) the LibreOffice process. Basic and Python may be mixed in the same application.

    Example: run from a Python console (or from a Python script) 

     from access2base import *
 db = Application.OpenDatabase('C:\...\... .odb')
 rs = db.OpenRecordset('SELECT * FROM [EXPENSES]')
 data = rs.GetRows(1000)   # data contains a tuple of (max 1000) Expenses records
