KOffice 2.0 Beta 7

#1 Post by Lobster »

I have looked at but not really used Koffice in Puppy.

If somone compiles this more stable version will you use it?

This is version 2 also, and the last one I made for Puppy was 1.6.3. So it should be an improvement. However, the developers of KPresenter still don't seem interested in providing Powerpoint compatibility (If that has changed and I am wrong, that would be great.) And as I understand it, the structure of kde4 is different so that there is just one runtime to account for in addition to the koffice programs, instead of having to track down dependencies one by one--that should be a lot easier. Once that runtime was done, other programs like k3b should be easier to prepare for Puppy.

If I get the whole kde thing right, you can't use kde3 apps on kde4 and vise versa, Kde4 still hardly has the apps like kde 3 has, and last time I checked K3B didn't work on Kde4. I could be wrong but thats how I read into it. If that is the case, we might have to wait another year or so before they catch up to kde3? Well Kde4 has been out for like 6 months now and its still way behind kde3.

My experience is that koffice (1.6) is a nice suite to work with but compatabilty with the rest of the world including linux is crap..in fact reading documents exported by kword in other formats reimport with major layout trauma for example...so as long as you do everything using kblah then no problem....abiword provides better cross platform/software support for word processing.

If version 2 improves in this area then would be worthwhile

2017 Some applications are nice. I keep on with KDE 1.6.3, that is light but enough. About desktop, KDE is boring me.
