ePubGenerator v0.0.3 - from OpenOffice.org to EPUB :-)

Short info ;-) Last week I started to work on new AddOn for OpenOffice.org. This AddOn called for now ePubGenerator will let you to publish your documents from OpenOffice.org as EPUB ebooks.
Currently ePubGenerator version 0.0.3 is available, and still it is very early beta.

What it can?
  • export your OpenOffice.org documents to EPUB format
  • You can set title, author, subject, description and so on
  • images in publication should be placed in EPUB file and should be displayed


Still ePubGenerator 0.0.3 doesn't let you to use chapters, your ebook will have only one chapter [I hope I will be able to fix it in next release], sometimes some texts may be lost [I found it with only one ebook], AddOn left mess on your disk [in your working directory you will find new directory with name like folder1267483747244 which is used to generate your ebook], result files are saved for now only in your working directory under names like folder1267483747244.epub.

After installation you will see new tooblar with one button ePubGenerator:


When you will click it [with open document which you want to export] you will see window:



after you put your informations about Title and so on you may click Generate EPUB and after a while you will see dialog saying where you may find your EPUB file [this message may be somewhere under another windows]:



I will be happy to see any suggestions :-)

OOo2GD 2.1.2 - small fix

New version of OOo2GD with version number 2.1.2 is available.
This version except version number ;-) differ from version 2.1.1 in data format used in Import Window. Now this will be something like 2010-02-26 22:17:16, this format is sortable [OK, dates are generally sortable because we have here order relation, but this format is lexicography sortable, or something like this ;-)] and if you are running your OOo2GD on Java 1.6 or higher you will able to sort documents in Import Window by modification date.
From other thing, I today tested OOo2GD with Java 7 preview and it works :-)

To download go to OOo2GD page in OpenOffice.org Extensions Repository or to OOo2GD project page.
You may also as always use Update from Extensions Manager in OO.org :-)

OOo2GD 2.1.1 is ready :-)

I wasn't sure what to do this evening, learning to SCWCD exam wasn't at the top of list of my desired thing to do ;-) the same learning algorithms and preparing for my Big Secret Plan ;-) So I decided to look at OOo2GD code ;-)

As a result of this looking we have new version of OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs, this time with number 2.1.1.
Most visible change is in Import Window, to now in window for Google Docs, and in window for Zoho you saw different formats of dates, now it is one format, and this format is "sortable" what should be helpful for those who run OOo2GD using Java 1.6.
This version should also fix problem with empty folder/directory for storing downloaded documents.
Another cosmetic change is the fact that from now you will not see message after successful upload/update.
Also error messages should be more informative :-)

As always you may download new version from OOo2GD page in OpenOffice.org AddOns repository or from project page.

OOo2GD 2.1.0 - filtering, sorting and more *nix friendly config file names

In new version 2.1.0 of OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs three new things
  • filtering by name of document in Import Window, you not need to look through all your files in Google Docs or Zoho, you simply may filter list of files by name, here sample how it works:
  • if you are using Java 1.6 you will be able to sort rows in table with files from Google Docs/Zoho in Import Window
  • configuration files will be now more *nix friendly, and will start with dot .

As always you can download this version from OOo2Gd page in OpenOffice.org extensions repository or from OOo2GD project page.

OOo2GD 2.0.0, now with autoupdate of documents in Google Docs :-)

Available is new version 2.0.0 of OOo2GD :-)
Biggest new thing is autoupdate of Google Docs documents/spreadsheets/presentations. It works in this way that for documents downloaded with checked Autoupdate checkbox every saving of file to this [after change] will cause update of document in Google Docs. This will work to stop OO.org.
It has some limitations, first if you edit your file on 2 computers in the same time with autoupdate mode only version saved by last of computers will be available in Google Docs.
Second if you will try to open the same document from Google Docs two times OOo2GD will autoupdate only 1st file.



To make life easier, you may default Autoupdate in config window by selecting "Default autoupdate".



We have also two new translations:
  • Czech translation
  • Hungarian translation


You can download OOOo2GD v2.0.0 from OOo2GD page in OpenOffice.org extensions repository or from project page :-)
