Post by psilocybe »

Hi everyone,

Here is finally a functional version. I am looking for volunteers to test it before publication.

Thank you.

From the https://github.com/prrvchr/gDriveOOo/bl ... /README.md page:
Configure Open / Save dialogs:
In menu Tools - Options - Libre/OpenOffice - General: check use Libre/OpenOffice dialogs.
Unfortunately there is not such item in the User Interface since LibreOffice 6.0.0. This setting available "in the deep": under the
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Advanced - Open Expert Configuration.

1.: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced > Open Expert Configuration
2.: Search for: UseSystemFileDialog (Found under: org.openoffice.Office.Common > Misc)
3.: Double click or Edit to change "true" to "false" (set it to "false")
4.: Click OK

Hi Zizi64,

You're right, I made the change to the README.md file.

Thank you for the improvement.

Firstly please accept my apology, but I am extremely new (as of yesterday) to OpenOffice/LibreOffice and I have yet to figure out how to behave correctly.

Having said that, I am a new "converty" in that I have made a total transition from Microsoft to Linux incl. all 'standard tools' such as LibreOffice, Evolution (maybe Thunderbird don't know yet).

I have also made the transition from OneDrive to G-Suite, hence I may end up in deep s..t, but I'll give it a go anyway.

One thing I MUST have in place is how to access G-Suite drive from e.g. LibreOffice Version: 6.0.7.3, running on a LinuxMint (latest).

I have found your tool that, if I read it correctly, does exactly that.

I have managed to install OAuthOOo version 0.0.2 and also OGDRIVE OOo Version 0.0.1 - I have not been able to locate a newer version.

I can open my G-Suite, no problem,
I can edit an existing file, no problem,
I can save the same file, no problem,
BUT,
if I try to save with a new name OR create a new file it fails.

It seems that the oDriveOOo reads the 'google' internal name - a string of "random" numbers and letters".

Setup
Lenovo B560
LinuxMint 19.04
LibreOffice Version: 6.0.7.3
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

I am not sure what I do wrong, but hope you can help.

Hi Kirenoid,

You are right and I apologize, but it is true that "Save As" does not work yet.
I have not found a solution running on OpenOffice and LibreOffice at the same time.
Offline mode, also not yet functional, I'm running out of time right now.

I take the opportunity to ask for help and invite anyone who knows Python to join the project ...

Hi Kirenoid,

Just to tell you that a new version is available and that I managed to correct the problems.

I closed the issue that you had opened, and invite you to reopen another if necessary.

In any case, thank you for participating, it helps the project to progress faster.
