[Solved] ASCII filter pop up can I set default?
Hello,
Sorry if I missed seeing an answer in my searches, but I can't seem to find this.
Every time I open a Text File....and I mean every text file... creation method doesn't matter-- even a new text file created in OO -- I get a pop up dialog asking for ASCII filter options. I would like to set this as default to unicode (utf-8) ... I am currently working on a project that requires at least a hundred text files that I am updating. Sometimes having 2 or 3 files open and it is getting to be a frustrating hassle as sometimes it pops under or just to check a couple words in another file I have to select this...
I have done maybe an hour of search and can't find how to set this as default to unicode (utf-8) AND courier new as I require a monospace font
Thanks for any help in advance
Stephen

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Seems there is a problem with your installation.
Ty first to reset your OpenOffice user profile.
Does it work when you create a Calc file?

Thanks for your reply,
I renamed the user file as you suggested and opened OO. Reset seems to be done since upon opening, I get the new installation questions ..Name..etc. Still the same issue, every TXT file I open brings up the ASCII filter pop up regardless of how it was created. I edited and saved in OO then re-opened and still the pop up. You suggest opening in Calc and maybe this is the issue, but I only installed Writer... nothing else since that is the only function I need... could this be the problem?
Again thanks for your reply and suggestion.

Re: ASCII filter pop up can I set default?
Are those TXT files real (unformatted, pure) text files?
Maybe you can write your own opening macro that will able to set the filter properties automatically, and the running method to "invisible"...
Edit: I just tried it. There is not any pop-up at opening an ASCII .txt file in my AOO 4.1.5 or LO 5.4.7 And I tried this UTF-8 coded text file from the site: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/ The result: My LibreOffice 4.4.7 version can open it without any pop-ups, but the Apache OpenOffice ask me to choose a filter... |

Re: ASCII filter pop up can I set default?
Strange, I don't get that dialog when I open .txt files (on my Windows machine).
I don't think that the absence of Calc could be the issue but who knows? For such integrated suite of applications, better install the whole package.

Can you upload one or more problematic text file here?

Thanks for your suggestions. I installed Calc and still same pop up dialog. I tried both of the sample txt files you posted and both also gave me the pop up dialog when opening. here is a sample off my machine to see if you also get a pop up dialog.
Thank you again for your interest in my issue!

Re: ASCII filter pop up can I set default?
Thanks for all your help... I uninstalled OO and installed Libre Office and no pop up dialog when I open my txt documents.

Appreciate the help!

Probably a bit late for this case, but for others later - check what the file association is set to for .txt files

I had checked and set the file association for OO for text files.

Re: [Solved] ASCII filter pop up can I set default?
Reviving this thread again as i have similar requirement of making the ASCII Filter Options default for .txt file containing Japanese character. I want to do this as the headless API call via UNO client doesn't give options to choose the ASCII Filter Options and without those the japanese characters are getting distorted.
Edit: Topic locked to prevent any fragmentation of discussion. You already have your own topic for the problem. You cannot revive a two-year-old solved topic when your situation is quite different, using OpenOffice through the API. |
