Michael Weghorn 7247f3ad59 tdf#153343 Show settings for the actual default font in control properties Since commit `ea36e0502c` Date: Tue Oct 4 12:42:33 2022 +0100 tdf#150786 use a 'standard' theme for form controls , form controls in Writer/Calc/Impress documents are supposed to no longer make use of the system style, but use style settings independent of the platform and system style/theme. Edits in forms actually use the standard font (set in `ImplStyleData::SetStandardStyles`) by default since that commit. However, the font dialog in the control properties was still showing data for the application default font that depends on the system style for font attributes not explicitly set for the control, which was incorrect and inconsistent with the visual appearance of the font actually used. Take `PROPERTY_STANDARD_THEME` introduced in the above-mentioned commit into account for the dialog as well when deciding what default font to use. Add inline comments that the 2 places setting and making assumptions about the default style of controls need to be kept in sync. With this in place, the actually used font height of 8 (as set in `ImplStyleData::SetStandardStyles`) is now displayed in the dialog for a newly inserted edit in Writer instead of something dependent on the style (e.g. 10 for the kf5 VCL plugin with the Breeze style in use, or 9 for the qt6 VCL plugin with the Fusion style). For the font family, the dialog now shows "Segoe UI;Tahoma;Arial Unicode MS;Lucida Sans Unicode;DejaVu Sans;Albany AMT;Albany;Arial;Nimbus Sans L;Interface User;Geneva;Dialog;Lucida;Helvetica;Helmet;Interface System;Sans Serif" (and "This font has not been installed. The closest available font will be used.") instead of "Noto Sans", which seems a bit odd, but is presumably "correct" based on the standard style font. (In order to change that, it would potentially be necessary to adjust what style settings are set in the "standard style settings" for controls.)

Miscellaneous Modules

This module contains a grab-bag of unrelated miscellaneous libraries, none of which is an extension.

Application Online Update Checking

When we start LO, first InitUpdateCheckJobThread is created, via UpdateCheckJob::execute() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheckjob.cxx), as a reaction to a onFirstVisibleTask event. It waits 25 seconds (so that it does not interfere with the startup itself), and then calls UpdateCheck::initialize() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheck.cxx).

This creates one more thread, UpdateCheckThread, that regularly checks whether we have reached the time when we should ask for the update. If yes, asks for that, and shows the download button in the menu (if the new update is available).

The update server will decide if there is an update available based on the user-agent string created by UpdateInformationProvider::getUserAgent, the data used there is extracted from instdir/program/versionrc and the update server takes the buildid into account, so to experiment with the updates from a dev version getUserAgent needs to return a recognized id.

OLE Automation Bridge

A bridge between "OLE automation" and UNO, so you can use UNO services from JScript, VBScript, etc.

https://www.openoffice.org/udk/common/man/spec/ole_bridge.html

See udkapi/com/sun/star/bridge/oleautomation/ApplicationRegistration.idl

This is initialized in Desktop::Main() in Desktop::OpenClients_Impl() by creating the service com.sun.star.bridge.OleApplicationRegistration, which is implemented by OleServer_Impl.

See extensions/source/ole/

ActiveX Control

This allows embedding LO into a Win32 application as an ActiveX control.

See extensions/source/activex/

Spotlight Provider

On macOS, this allows indexing ODF documents with Spotlight.

See extensions/source/macosx/spotlight/

Scanner Support

You can scan from LibreOffice, using platform specific backends like TWAIN/SANE.

See extensions/source/scanner/
