I have SoftMaker 2008, but every time I open it there is a menu for the initial installation asking to set the location for documents in /root/SoftMaker. After accepting the menu everything is fine. How can I avoid that menu for initial installation every-time I open the program? Edited_time_total |

I suppose that you have THIS (12,1M) built installed, because I have encountered exactly the same issue (with Presentations module only!). After small investigation I think I found the solution: Go to /usr/share/office2008/designs/ and rename 44_simple.prv to 01_glass.prv Launch Presentations, accept path, exit and launch it again. This solution seems to be a bit mysterious (even for me  ), but I guess that Presentations' binary is looking for this specific one every time it's starting. And this built is sorely stripped down...
Hope this helps. Greetings! _________________ [O]bdurate [R]ules [D]estroy [E]nthusiastic [R]ebels => [C]reative [H]umans [A]lways [O]pen [S]ource Omnia mea mecum porto. |

I did it, It works perfect for the Presentation module!!! The word processor and spreadsheet are not affected. The bug stay the same for them. Can you figure out a similar fix for those? |

Can you point me to version of SoftMaker2008 you are using? I'll download it and see what I can do. Greetings! _________________ [O]bdurate [R]ules [D]estroy [E]nthusiastic [R]ebels => [C]reative [H]umans [A]lways [O]pen [S]ource Omnia mea mecum porto. |

Meanwhile maybe this will help you. Check out if you have these files: /usr/share/office2008/install_en/Templates/English/Normal.tmv /usr/share/office2008/install_en/Templates/English/PlanMaker/Normal.pmv If they don't exist, just create blank document template (Textmaker), save it as Normal.tmv and blank spreadsheet template (Planmaker), save it as Normal.pmv, and put them there.

My mistake  . I mean can you point me to place you downloaded SoftMaker from?
It's hard to say anything, because I'm still not sure we have the same built. Another blind shot:
It's true regarding Presentations, but when I launch TextMaker or PlanMaker for the first time, there are TWO paths displayed (for Document folder & Template folder). And sometimes one of them contains ?/ string instead of /root/SoftMaker/Templates/ This causes reappearing of initial dialog in my case. Check if you also have this string displayed and provide correct path (and don't forget to add slash / at the end of path).

I downloaded SoftMaker 2008 from Barry's Blog: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02435 Yes, I always get the ?/ sting. Tonight, when I will access my home computer I will see the specific path and will post it. Thank you for all your dedication to solve this bug. |

Ok, I have this one too.
Good, just type /root/SoftMaker/Templates/ there and hopefully everything should be all right now. Greetings!

Again, I applied your suggestion and the bug disappeared!!! After initial windows in TextMaker and in the PlanMaker, the second time both opened normally. Thank you very much!!!! |
