  • Working now on something related to CSV and probably will backport it but I’m waiting for some feedback → https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/165905

    • this was mostly useful for converting CSV → PDF – because separators were not found

    • idea was to detect automatically at conversion.

    • First patch – adds character-set and separator settings

      • can use these when you pass the filter parameters.

      • Instead of separator & character set put ‘detect’

    • Would be nice to use it in the import dialog.

  • Would love to help out with design for serializing settings (Michael)

  • Julius

  • Getting much more frequent races causing a download of the file … when clicked. (Michael)

    • seems like a richdocuments / Nextcloud race… perhaps more plugins installed …

    • now have draw.io/BPMN/etc. etc. in the list here … probably related to this.

    • Finally have a reproducer on our instance

    • Seems the viewer API has a design flaw in that regard

    • Our files engineering-team is looking into having a work around

  • Small bugfix release of richdocuments later (probably today)

    • branding customization fix for logo

    • iframe accessibility

    • Fix issue where files were locked during preview generation with network timeouts which could have lead to failed saves

      • There is still a risk, but less likely, currently thinking about better ways to handle this

  • Nextcloud 30 upcoming, currently in beta

    • Integration with extract/transform document API

    • Create new documents with form from templates

  • Nextcloud Conference is happening Sept 14-15, contributor week afterwards
